• 5Absolutely Fabulous Private Tour — Our Favorite Excursion of the Cruise!

  Our Bacalar Lagoon excursion was absolutely fabulous and easily one of the highlights of our entire cruise! From beginning to end, the experience felt personal, relaxed, and tailored specifically to our family. Our tour guide, Yocelyn, was wonderful. We were traveling as a family of six, and one of the things we appreciated most was that this was truly a private tour— it was just our family. Yocelyn was extremely accommodating and allowed us to enjoy the day at our own pace. We weren't particularly interested in spending a lot of time at the Mayan stops and really wanted to maximize our time at the lagoon. She listened to what we wanted and adjusted the itinerary accordingly. That flexibility made such a difference and made the excursion feel like it was designed specifically for us. We also have to thank Aquino, our driver, and Tony, our captain, who helped make the day so memorable. We initially had a mix-up between ship time and local time, and arrived late. We were afraid we had missed our tour, but the team was incredibly kind and gracious about the situation. We were so thankful that they accommodated us, because we would have missed what ended up being our favorite excursion! Bacalar itself was breathtaking. The beautiful water and peaceful atmosphere were everything we hoped for and more. We also stopped at a local market where fresh pineapples were purchased, and later Captain Tony cut them up and served them with Tajín. Such a simple touch, but it was absolutely delicious and made the experience feel even more authentic. The fish tacos were fabulous, and the unlimited tequila certainly didn't hurt either! 😂 Another thing we loved was how willing everyone was to help us capture our memories. Yocelyn patiently took as many pictures as we wanted—and trust me, our family wanted plenty of pictures and plenty of poses! 😂 We never felt rushed or like we were inconveniencing anyone. What made this excursion stand out was the combination of the gorgeous lagoon, great food and drinks, wonderful service, and the freedom that came with having a private tour. Instead of feeling like we were following a rigid schedule with a large group, we were able to focus on what our family actually wanted to experience. Yocleyn, Aquino, and Tony truly gave our family a day we will remember for years to come. If you're visiting Costa Maya and considering an excursion to Bacalar Lagoon, we highly recommend this experience. We would absolutely do it again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars from our entire family!

• 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Lagoon and Such a Fun Experience!

  We had such a fun day on the Bacalar Lagoon 7 Colors excursion! Our guide picked us up near the cruise port, and after about an hour drive, we arrived at the lagoon and boarded a boat. The water in Bacalar was absolutely beautiful. We visited three different cenotes by boat, and it was really interesting to see how each one had its own unique characteristics. We also stopped in shallow areas where we could get out of the boat, swim, and just hang out in the gorgeous water. One of my favorite parts was something our guide did for us on the way there. We stopped in Pineapple Town, where he bought us a fresh honey pineapple. Later, while we were swimming, our boat driver cut it up and served it to us right there in the water! It was one of the most delicious pineapples I've ever had. I'm definitely going to be looking for honey pineapples when we get home! After the boat ride, we had lunch beside another cenote. Lunch included three tacos each. I had the fish tacos and my husband had the chicken, and they were both delicious. Between the beautiful lagoon, the cenotes, swimming, fresh pineapple in the water, and delicious lunch, this was such a fun and memorable experience. We really enjoyed our day and would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Costa Maya! 🌴🍍💦

  This boat ride and lagoon is worth the hour drive from the port. The tacos at the authentic restaurant were delicious.

• 5Great day at Bacalar. It was worth it!

  The hour + van drive was worth the ride when we arrived Bacalar and saw the amazing water color! The cenotes are incredible. The beef guacamole tacos and passion fruit drink was delicious. Yocelyn and Aquino were great! Thank you for a fantastic day.

About Costa Maya

Costa Maya is the southern Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán, a quiet shoreline of white beaches and mangroves beside the reef, with Maya ruins inland.

Costa Maya is the name given to the southern stretch of Quintana Roo's Caribbean coast, south of the Riviera Maya and close to the border with Belize. Its shore is a quiet strip of white sand, palms and mangrove, backed by low forest, and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef runs just offshore. Mahahual, a small seaside village with a long boardwalk, is the main settlement and has a dock for cruise ships. Xcalak, a fishing village at the southern tip, sits beside a protected reef park.
