The Top 6 Bacalar Lagoon Tours in Costa Maya

Discover the mesmerizing beauty of Bacalar Lagoon, a hidden gem in Costa Maya, Mexico. This freshwater paradise, famous for its seven shades of blue, is perfect for those craving both relaxation and adventure. Whether you're a nature lover or just looking for a serene escape, Bacalar offers it all.

Start your excursion with a peaceful pontoon ride across the lagoon’s crystal-clear waters. You’ll drift past mangrove forests, rocky cliffs, and charming islands. The lagoon’s colors range from bright turquoise to deep cobalt, and the clarity will leave you breathless. As you glide through, you’ll reach Canal de los Piratas—a narrow channel with fascinating pirate lore. Imagine the stories of ships hiding in these very waters!

Fancy a swim? Take a dip in the refreshing, clear waters. Snorkeling here is like exploring an underwater garden filled with fish, plants, and vibrant aquatic life. The Cenote Azul, an awe-inspiring sinkhole, is a must-visit. Its deep blue waters hide mysterious caves, while its historical and sacred importance in Mayan culture adds depth to the experience.

For the more adventurous, grab a kayak or paddleboard and navigate the mangrove tunnels, shallow reefs, and sandbars. Don’t miss Isla de los Pájaros, a haven for birdwatchers. You’ll spot iguanas, otters, and even manatees along the way.

At Tourbase, our carefully curated excursions offer not only fun but also a commitment to eco-friendly practices. We work with top-notch local guides who prioritize sustainability and the lagoon’s delicate ecosystem.
