Bacalar is one of our favorite places!. As soon as your cruiseship arrives to Costa Maya Port, take part of our adventure at the Seven Color Lagoon or Bacalar. A famous old haven for pirates where now you can relax, swim or enjoy a kayak ride in the refreshing waters of the seven color lagoon.
This experience take place in the second largest lagoon in Mexico that offers magnificent shades of blue on sunny days.
Join our amazing kayak tour to the springs and creeks of the Seven Color Lagoon and take a short hike through the jungle.
The place is perfect for kayaking and swimming or simply relax eating some delicious fajitas with your favorite drink at the edge of the lagoon enjoying the breeze and incredible landscape.
Bacalar is definitely a must if you are at Costa Maya! We recommend this tour if you are an adventurer or just looking to relax away of the crowds.

The lagoon was amazing. Fresh water which was so refreshing and beautiful. The tacos and salsa/chips were fine for lunch. The bar options were limited but something for everyone (beer, water, rum, horchata, etc). The only down side was some challenges getting checked in as they first stated they didn't have transportation for us and suggested we go with another group to the ruins which we did not want to do. They finally worked it out and found a small van we could fit in with two other groups. The ride was about an hour long one way and was extremely bumpy. Not the most pleasant journey but the water/resort was worth the trip.

Beautiful scenery and water was amazing. Yacks were a lot of work so prepare the little ones. Great for pre teens and teens. Ran out of complimentary drinks and long travel from the cruise port. Would highly recommend overall though

Alan was an excellent tour guide! He gave us fascinating information about the local economy, geography, and history. Abner was a great driver and we appreciated him getting us back safely. We were the only family at the resort for most of our time there- it was secluded and peaceful! We didn’t fight crowds or vendors, and we were able to really relax. We enjoyed the kayak experience- great workout and a chance to explore the lagoon more closely! The lunch was AMAZING with pork or chicken tacos that were obviously homemade. Also came with 4 delicious sauce options, pico de gallo, and tortilla chips. Try the habanero with the pineapple sauce- YUM! I especially loved the green tomatillo sauce. We also really loved the special drinks Alan made with local tequila, pineapple juice, grenadine, and a liqueur. We had access to beer, other mixed drinks, water, and sodas as well. The kids loved the virgin Pina Coladas! I recommend bringing water shoes and a change of clothes, but we didn’t really end up needing the towels we brought. The only suggestion I have for Native Choice is to provide a cooler of bottled waters for the van trip out to the resort. Overall, great price for a wonderful day!

The water was beautiful and the resort we went to was nice. The tacos were very yummy and the staff was nice! I do wish they guided us on the kayaks instead of just exploring freely. I would have liked for them to lead us and maybe tell us about the lagoon. The ride was definitely rough as well but all in all it was good.

This was a great day off our cruise! Allen was our guide and he was awesome! He was kind and informative. The kayaking is moderate, but not for people who do not know how to do it. It takes about 30-45 min for the tour. Allen had to go back out and pull/drag a couple people all the way back in as they couldn't paddle. (He's amazing, and smiled the whole way!). Don't panic though, I think that's rare, as we paddled next to an 8 year old in his own kayak, for the tour and he did great! The area is secluded, beautiful and the drinks were real! Thanks Allen, Fernando (he also pulled back a couple people who didn't know how to paddle) and our sweet bartenders for a fun day!❤️. You all are the best!

We had a wonderful day at Bacalar Lake. Our driver, Edgar, and tour guide, Alan, were amazing. Alan gave us lots of information as we traveled to the lake. The van was air conditioned which was much appreciated because it was hot that day. The resort we went to was beautiful. We had use of feee loungers before and after kayaking. The kayaking was beautiful and lots of fun. Alan guided our group so we knew exactly where to go in the water. Once we returned to the lake we were given a great lunch of tacos and unlimited drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic). The pina coladas and margaritas were very good. After lunch we could lounge, take kayaks back out, or use inner tubes to float around. We arrived back at port with plenty of time to spare and shop. It was a beautiful place and lots of fun!

The hardest part was getting out of the port and finding the pickup. But once there, it was easy check in and the ride was in a comfortable van with A/C and a very kind driver. We arrived at a very beautiful, quaint private resort (first group to arrive which I rec) so we could choose our beach chairs and went on the kayaks. We had a nice time - returned to a wonderful taco meal all you can eat and drink. Alan was a WONDERFUL host and my family rated this our top excursion on our cruise.
