Traveler reviews
A truly beautiful experience in Bacalar
Pablo was an excellent tour guide - charming, thoughtful and made the trip to the beautiful Bacalar perfect. We traveled from Tulum for the day, and thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I highly recommend Mexico Kan Tours, and Pablo!
My feeling of colors in bacalar
I loved the Lagoon and the whole organization of the excursion. Paloma Roni was our guide, although from Tulum it is three hours by bus, thanks to Arturo, the trip became very bearable. I advise this excursion. The colors of the water are amazing.
Unique and gorgeous area worth the drive
This Bacalar tour was amazing! We are Mexico - and especially Yucatan - junkies, but Tulum had been the furthest south we had gotten. We only learned about Bacalar through visiting Mexico Kan Tours' website, as we're repeat customers. (We took a cenote + snorkeling tour back in 2019, which we loved.) Seeing and learning about this unique and gorgeous area was very worth the long day/drive from Tulum. Both the guide and the sailboat captain were great as were the two restaurants we ate at. The cruise consisted of two stops for swimming at teal-water areas near Bacalar - sailing past Island of the Birds and mangrove clusters on the way. We were also able to pick-up our customary figurines at a local vendor to add to our collection. The tour includes even more Bacalar wandering time after the post-cruise lunch, which we didn't utilize as we were tired and wanted to start heading back. We're definitely planning on returning to Bacalar during another trip in the future, as there is so much to see and do. Long story short: we highly recommend this tour!
A magical tour to remember
A very magical sailing trip, hands down! Iber is a very knowledgeable guide who gave us a good history of Bacalar. We saw the colors of the waters change drastically as the sky shifts from cloudy to sunny. We also saw the seven different colors as we stopped by pirate channels, bird islands, and the cenotes. Our day ends with a relaxing meal at a restaurant built around an impressively big baby on tree, right next to the lagoon, and a visit to the fort that used to keep the pirates out. Bonus: finding a cotton tree in the towns square.
Amazing tour!
