Great trip

Great guide In a comfortable bus. Learned a lot about the Mayans. It rained so they cancelled the lagoon swim. So sad! They gave bottled water but no lunch.

We had a great day on our excursion. We started off with about. 40 minute drive to the Mayan ruins, on the way got some interesting information about the community and culture from our guide, Allen, once we got to the ruins we had a short amount of time to shop at the gift shops and then about an hour or so in the park with a guide learning about the Mayan culture and life. We didn’t make it to the originally planned stop at the 7 color lagoon due to the clarity of the water from recent storms, but where they took us was equally as nice. We had a delicious lunch and some time for swimming and kayaking. On the way back to the port we stopped for some fresh pineapple that was so delicious. Overall a great day for everyone in our party of 10, ranging from teens to seniors.

A must see

A Wonderful day with a very informative guide. Great day! I would highly recommend this tour. Good for all ages.

Fun Informative Tour and Bacalar Lagoon lunch, drinks, and swimming!

Published on Nov, 2024

David was our guide for the Mayan Chacchoben tour - he's an experienced Mayan archeological tour operator and was happy to answer any questions. The whole tour company including David and his two compatriots - one who drove us getting to the ruins and to the Bacalar Lagoon and back to the cruise port safely and on time. The other young man was very knowledgeable about the Costa Maya area and gave us a nice introduction about the area on the way to the Mayan temple site. Each conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism and were very friendly. Our tour had I believe 10 people plus our three guides. We spent about 1.5 hours at the Mayan temple area, about 2 hours driving from the cruise port to Chacchoben, then 1.5 hours at the Bacalar Lagoon for a delicious meal of street tacos and up to two complimentary drinks plus unlimited sodas etc. The Lagoon water was extremely beautiful even on a cloudy day - apparently on a sunny day there are 7 different blue colors that can be seen. It was warm and comfortable for swimming so we paddled sit-on-top kayaks and swam after eating and drinking.

Love the Love! Great experience with great people. Lake was different because of hurricane, but still a completely unique place on earth.
