• 5Beautiful Sunrise

  This was an incredible experience, watching the sunrise come up whilst paddle boarding on the lagoon is something I will never forget. The fruit served was a lovely touch and Miguel was very informative with regards to the lagoon and nature surrounding. Would definitely recommend this, even for those that are sceptical about an early start, this is definitely unmissable.

• 5Miguel was a great guide....

  Miguel was a great guide. He was very attentive and made sure everyone was looked after, he even arranged a jetski for one lady who felt like she could not return by kayak. The tour was great and a must-do in Bacalar.

• 5Must do at sunrise

  Amazing experience, I was a bit anxious at the beginning because it was my first time to do paddle board, but it is definitely worth it. A real Must do! Samuel was the perfect instructor and guide, he gave us nice advises and kept an eye on us in particular when we were paddling against the wind! Beautiful view of sunrises and nature! Such a stunning Way to start the day! Samuel also prepared a beautiful breakfast with toast and fruit and explained us about the history and nature of the lagoon! Very grateful

• 5Magical sunrise on the lagoon with kind guides, small group and a beautiful fruit stop. Calm, unhurried and unforgettabl

  I really enjoyed this sunrise paddleboard tour with Sam and Miguel. Arriving in the dark and paddling out as the light slowly appeared over the lagoon was a beautiful experience. Both Sam and Miguel were friendly, calm and professional. I was a little slower on my board and Sam stayed with me the whole time, with no pressure to rush and no feeling of being left behind. We stopped to watch the sunrise and they prepared fresh, beautifully cut fruit, which was a lovely touch. The group size was small, which made the tour feel relaxed and personal. A peaceful and memorable way to start the day. Highly recommended.

About Bacalar

Bacalar is a quiet lakeside town in Quintana Roo, beside a long freshwater lagoon of shifting blues known as the Lake of Seven Colours.

Bacalar sits on the western shore of a lagoon about forty kilometres long in the south of Quintana Roo, close to the border with Belize. The water, shallow over white sand and deeper in places, shades from pale turquoise to deep blue, giving the lagoon its name, the Lake of Seven Colours. The Fort of San Felipe, built in the eighteenth century to guard the lagoon from pirates, stands above the town square and holds a small museum.
