The Bacalar Lake, known as the Lagoon of the Seven Colors, because of the varying shades of its water, is one of the natural treasures of the Yucatan. Let this beautiful natural paradise seduce your senses when you take this fantastic trip from Riviera Maya.

Day Trip Details

After picking you up from your hotel, we'll head towards the shores of Bacalar Lake, which is known as the "lagoon of the seven colors" due to the contrasting tones of its water.

We'll board the bus, and before you know it, we'll arrive at the picturesque village of Bacalar. Here, we'll board a boat for a peaceful ride on the Bacalar Lagoon. We'll see the emblematic stromatolites of Bacalar, mineral formations very similar to reefs that have natural properties and are natural skin exfoliants. 

Next up, we'll visit Pirate's Canal, where you'll have free time to take a dip in the clear waters of the lagoon and refresh ourselves in the nearby Cenote Negro. You'll find out why it's called the "lagoon of the seven colours".

Our next stop will be San Felipe Fort: a fortress built during the conflict with the English in the 18th century. You'll be treated to stunning views of Bacalar. Then, we'll head to Isla Pájaros, our final place to relax on the island. We'll be surrounded by flying birds. It's a paradise with calming water and natural enchantment.

Finally, after a 12 to 13-hour tour of Bacalar, we'll return to the starting point.

Hotel Pickup

This tour includes pickup from the following hotels. If your accommodation isn't on the list, you can choose whichever is closest for you: 

  • Pickup points for Laguna Bacala

Itinerary Order

Please note that, due to organizational reasons, the order of the visits described in the itinerary may vary.

If you have booked the day trip on a Wednesday, please note that we'll first visit the cenotes. Then, we'll visit Isla Pájaros, Pirate's Canal, and finally, Bacalar Lake.
