Bacalar – 7 Colors Lagoon Excursión Costa Maya

Swim Bacalar’s 7-colored lagoon and visit cenotes, then relax in Bacalar with included lunch, snacks, drinks, and a timely cruise return.

“This was a great excursion! We had Adan and Eric as our guide and driver. They did a wonderful job. The Lagoon is absolutely gorgeous and the boat ride is very pleasant and relaxing. I will say that finding your driver is difficult. But that isn’t their fault. You must walk ALL the way out of the cruise port village and past the taxis. This is a bit of a walk and it’s really hard finding your way out of the village. Ask someone how to get out as soon as you enter.”

“We had a safe trip and was able to see the ruins which was a positive. Now for the not so positive; the location where we met was hard to find, need more signs or a person to help. Another tour company had to show us where they were. They rushed us to load in the van at the village gift shops and food after we toured the ruins. Not sure why because we got back an hour before we were scheduled to. The information from the tour guide(s) was lacking. Would like to know more about the ruins, it felt like super basic information was given. Also when we…”
