Sailing Tour through the Laguna de los Siete Colores

/ August 12, 2026

1.Sailing Tour through the Laguna de los Siete Colores

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,521 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40Our pick

Sail Bacalar’s Seven Colors Lagoon on a small boat, swim at top spots, and enjoy fruit, beers, and a simple brunch for about $40.

“This was a highlight of our trip to Bacalar! Leondro and Cecile were fabulous - super friendly, explained a ton about the Laguna and the town of Bacalar itself. They took us to less busy spots to swim - at one point it was literally like we had a private lake to ourselves! We appreciated their commitment to protecting the lagoon, as that is a shared value, and why we booked a sailing tour specifically. One note - bring lots of protective gear as the boat isn’t covered and sunscreen use (even biodegradable/reef safe) isn’t allowed in the lagoon.”

Bacalar Lagoon Sightseeing Boat Tour with Open Bar and Snacks

4-hour Bacalar Lagoon boat tour with open bar, snacks, and multiple cenote swims, including Black Cenote, Emerald Cenote, and Bird Island.

“We had a great time on this excursion! Miguel and Sam were great guides and incredibly gracious throughout. Our boat was full with 15 adults and 2 children. It would have been nice with fewer people -- more space to move around, get out of the sun, etc. -- but there weren't many boats out on the water, so that was nice. The drinks and snacks were delicious and there was plenty for everyone. Just keep in mind that sunscreen is not allowed in the lagoon, and you are on the water for 4 hours, so dress accordingly and bring your own towels!”

They took to the north part of the lake first which is completely turquoise, here we laid anchor and did some terrific swimming. Afterwards we went to a cenote within the laguna. Be sure to ask to go with Omar and Enrique when you book! Omar plays perfect tunes whilst on the boat. 10/10 would recommend this tour!”
