Bacalar: Exclusive Private Tour of Mexico’s Lagoon of 7 Colors

Let Yourself Be Carried Away by the Peace, Colors, and Natural Beauty of Bacalar—A Private Journey into One of Mexico’s Last Untouched Paradises

Escape the crowds and discover one of Mexico’s most breathtaking natural treasures with our exclusive private tour to Bacalar Lagoon. This personalized experience includes
private round-trip transportation from Playa del Carmen, your own English-speaking guide, and a private boat—so you can explore the famous Lagoon of Seven Colors at your own pace, in full comfort and privacy.

Head south from Playa del Carmen toward Bacalar, one of Mexico’s hidden gems. The drive takes about three hours in the comfort of our private, air-conditioned van—just sit back and enjoy the changing landscapes of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Yes, it’s a bit of a journey… but every mile brings you closer to something truly extraordinary.
And when the first shades of blue from the lagoon appear on the horizon, you’ll know it was absolutely worth the trip.

Discover the magic of Bacalar with a fully private tour designed exclusively for you. From the moment your English-speaking guide picks you up at your accommodation, you’ll enjoy a completely personalized experience—no shared transportation, no outside guests—just your group, your pace, and the freedom to explore one of Mexico’s most breathtaking natural treasures.

After a comfortable journey in a private, air-conditioned vehicle through the southern Yucatán Peninsula, you’ll arrive at the legendary Lagoon of Seven Colors. Here, you’ll board your own private pontoon boat—spacious, quiet, and entirely yours—to cruise the vibrant turquoise waters in peace and comfort.

Your boat journey includes stops at Bacalar’s most iconic cenotes: Cocalitos, home to ancient stromatolites; Esmeralda, known for its vibrant contrast of deep and shallow blues; and the mysterious Black Cenote, a place of legend and mystique. One of the most unforgettable moments of the tour is your visit to the famous Pirate Channel, a shallow, crystal-clear stretch of the lagoon rich in history and perfect for swimming and relaxing in paradise. Away from the crowds, you’ll enjoy moments of quiet connection with nature at every stop.

To protect Bacalar’s delicate ecosystem, the use of sunscreen is strictly prohibited—even biodegradable options. Your guide will provide everything you need to enjoy the water responsibly, while preserving its natural beauty.

Back on land, enjoy a delicious lunch at a carefully selected restaurant overlooking the lagoon. Nestled among tropical plants and open to the water, this charming spot serves freshly prepared dishes inspired by local flavors, with vegetarian and vegan options available. After lunch, take a swim from the dock, rest in a hammock, or simply unwind with no schedule, no stress—just the luxury of time.

As your day unfolds, the experience remains flexible. Whether you choose to explore Bacalar’s colorful town center, visit the majestic Cenote Azul, or simply stay longer by the water, your guide will adapt to your preferences, ensuring every moment suits your style.

By the time you return to your hotel in the late afternoon, you’ll carry more than just photos—you’ll bring home the emotion of Bacalar. This is not a group tour; it’s an exclusive, tailor-made journey led by a private English-speaking guide, designed to let you experience the true soul of the Yucatán at your own rhythm.
