Full description

Discover a completely different side of the Mexican Caribbean at Bacalar’s famous Seven Color Lagoon.

Known for its remarkable shades of turquoise and blue, Bacalar is far from a typical beach day in Costa Maya. Here, freshwater cenotes, centuries of history and tales of pirates come together in one of Mexico’s most distinctive natural settings.

Experience the lagoon the best way possible — from the water. Cruise by pontoon across the Seven Color Lagoon, swim in its refreshing waters and discover the historic Pirate Channel, once part of the routes used by pirates to enter Bacalar, while your local guide brings the lagoon’s stories to life.

And this is an adventure made for enjoying: small groups, a Mexican lunch and open bar are all included, along with round-trip transportation planned around your cruise day.

Come for the Seven Colors, follow the stories of pirates, and discover a side of the Mexican Caribbean you never expected.

Itinerary

Start your adventure with easy round-trip transportation from Costa Maya, passing through the quaint town of Pedro Santos, famous for its honey pineapples. Along the way, our expert guides will share fascinating insights into local history and culture.

Once at Bacalar Lagoon, enjoy a scenic pontoon boat tour, exploring the famous Pirate Channel where Spanish pirates once clashed. You’ll also have the chance to swim in the lagoon’s stunning cenotes and the crystal-clear waters of the Pirate Channel, perfect for family fun.
