Overview

Spend your day in port at Bacalar’s famous Seven Colors Lagoon, where clear freshwater shifts through remarkable shades of turquoise and blue. Cruise across the lagoon on a two-hour boat adventure, exploring three cenotes and Pirate’s Channel, once traveled by pirates, with two stops to swim along the way. After your boat adventure, settle in at a Lake Shore Club overlooking the lagoon. Enjoy tacos and refreshing drinks, order a Piña Colada, and relax by the water with Bacalar’s turquoise views in front of you.
