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.”
