Tour Details

We'll meet at the Súper Akí Tulum at the indicated time and, from there, we'll head south to get to Bacalar, one of Mexico's most beautiful destinations.

After an almost 3-hour journey, we'll reach Bacalar and enjoy a breakfast including chilaquiles, eggs to your liking, a sandwich and fresh fruit. Then, we'll head to the cenote Azul, where you'll have 50 minutes of free time to relax and swim in its crystal waters surrounded by lush vegetation.

We'll continue with a 1 hour and 40-minute boat ride around the famous 7 Colours Lagoon. On board the boat, we'll enjoy panoramic views of the cenote Negro, the cenote Esmeralda and the Canal de los Piratas. During this cruise, we'll tell you the fascinating history behind the name of this place.

After the boat ride, it will be time to refuel with lunch. You can choose between a fillet of fish or chicken, beef fajitasseafood soup or a vegetarian pasta dish.

Feeling re-energised, we'll embark on a brief tour of the Fuerte de San Felipe, an iconic point that will help you learn more about Bacalar's history. You'll also have time to get a picture next to the colourful letters of Bacalar, a perfect reminder of this magical place.

Finally, we'll begin our return journey to Tulum and say our goodbyes at the pickup point after 14 hours in total.
