Highlights

Itinerary

The Bacalar Boat Tour will guide you on a 3-hour adventure. Upon arrival at the Casa China, you will be equipped with everything you need to start.

Our first stop will be the Cenote Esmeralda, the largest in the lagoon, with a diameter of over 500 meters. Next, we’ll visit Cenote Cocalitos, home to the stromatolite sanctuary. At Pirate Canal, you’ll have a chance to swim in warm and shallow waters while we prepare a fruit picnic.

The Cenote Negro, also known as the Witch’s Cenote, will be our next stop. The water’s depth exceeds 100 meters, and you’ll see a change of color in the water. Bird Island is the last stop before returning to the dock, where you can relax among the birds and clear waters.

As the Bacalar Boat Tour ends, enjoy the beautiful breeze, reflecting on the amazing adventure you had with us.
