Half Day Bacalar Lagoon Boat Tour from Costa Maya

Experience the stunning Lagoon of Blue Colors as I guide you on a private boat tour, the best way to appreciate Bacalar’s famous blue tones up close and personal—far more impressive than what can be seen from a distance such as in a beach club. Together, we’ll explore calm waters, fully free of algae, as well as natural canals and shallow sandbars, with enough time to swim and enjoy the lagoon at your own pace. If you indeed want to swim, I suggest bringing additional dry clothing to change into, which you'd also have time to do at the end of the boat tour. But beyond this standard experience, if you have more time, you might also be interested in visiting the Cenote Azul, a beautiful and authentic natural site where you could also swim and even sample local dishes being offered on site! This would be possible in a longer version of the tour, so contact me before booking if you're interested and I could customize this tour for you!

-After we've met, we'll depart on a roughly hour long drive from Costa Maya towards Bacalar. -We'll then arrive at the dock where we'll go on board our ship & put on your life jackets for your safety. -Next, we'll depart on a roughly 2-hour long private tour, and as we sail away, we'll see the 18th century Fort of San Felipe, a historic landmark strategically placed in front of the lagoon, as it was used against the pirates that assaulted Bacalar in its colonial era. -The first thing we'll visit on the boat tour is a shallow canal, handmade by the Mayans over a thousand years ago. This is one of the most popular swimming sites in Bacalar! -We'll begin sailing by the western side of the lagoon, from where we'll enjoy great views of the town of Bacalar. -As we go across the lagoon towards the eastern side, we'll reach an area that is full of mangroves, where it is quite common to spot fish swimming around. -After the boat tour, we would drive back to Costa Maya, to where we would arrive an hour later.
