About this experience
Fall in love with Bacalar, a place with a treasure of nature the Laguna de los Siete Colores that in addition to its unique beauty also keeps other surprising treasures such as the magical cenotes that surround; also full of history with the pirate channel, ecotourism and beautiful landscapes. One of Bacalar’s most important tourist experiences is a trip to the cenotes. What undoubtedly makes the Bacalar cenotes special is that their natural splendor and the knowledge that they are almost completely unique and entirely naturally-occurring, making them extremely popular with weddings and photographers. The 7-color lagoon extends peacefully and picturesquely next to the Bacalar village as a perfect setting for lovers of adventure and nature.

Plan B due to windy weather
Our first day tour in Cancun. It was windy that morning. The tour guide came to let me know that it was not safe to be in the water. I'm so glad they have plan B. We took a ferry and drive our own scooter in Holbox Mosquito. Our tour guide was very nice, they make sure we are safe and enjoying our trip. Thank you for the Holbox experienced!

Cenote and Bacalar tour.
The excursion started off with us being picked up from the zona hotelera at 5am and picking up others in playa del carmen and Tulum. We arrived at almost 11am to cenote azul and we enjoyed a nice breakfast and hour swim. Please keep in mind that sunscreen is not permitted. Also drinks are not included with the food so make sure to take money, preferably pesos. We then dried up and got back on the bus to a beach club to swim in Bacalar lake for another hour. There are several photo ops with a stunning view. After we dried up, we got back on the bus for a pontoon ride. We were given a brief history of the lake and some areas that are preserved for birds. We then stopped at another area of bacalar to swim for an hour. Sunscreen is also not allowed in the lake. After the swim, they took us back to another restaurant, where we ate our lunch. After we ate, we had another hour to browse around where the vendors were selling souvenirs and snacks. The tour guide Arturo was very informative, friendly, and he speaks multiple languages. The driver was also very helpful and if you needed to enter the bus early he had no issue letting you in. Overall, I had a great trip but I had some cons. The trip says it will be a maximum of 20 people, but we were picked up in a large bus which was packed. I want to say our group was 55 people, which made our drive back home longer because there were so many stops along the way. Also, it says the tour guide company is Holbox and Bacalar tour, but we were hosted by Suaste tours. Again, we had a great time, but wanted to give an honest review.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an enjoyable experience with us and appreciate your feedback on how we can make it even better. For marine life preservation non biodegradable items are not allowed. We hope to welcome you back soon and give you a 5-star experience next time!

Bacalar is is unmatched beauty
There is no where else I've found that has waters as beautiful as Bacalar. Be careful with local food and drink as they do not wash their food with purified water so if you're not used to ingesting mexico water, just be careful and enjoy the beautiful lagoon and cenote!
Response from the operator: Hello Cherina! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with us, and we truly appreciate your positive review! Your feedback is valuable and helps us aim for perfection. We look forward to the opportunity to make your next experience with us even more amazing!

The most fabulous colors
We had a beautiful day into bacalar. We were picked up in playacar at 6:20 am and transfered to a beautiful coach in playa del carmen by 7:00. We then stop at playa Azul cenote for breakfast which was delicious and swimming in the clear water. Then onto bacalar lagoon at a club for swimming at hammocks and water swings. We had refreshments here. Onto the pontoon boat after this. We saw the black hole cenote and got to swim in the bacalar lake. We were then taken back to our lunch at another restaurant. Lunch was delicious too I had chicken. We were allowed to tour Bacalar city then where we got to see the fort Felipe and the bacalar letter sign. This was an English tour and the guide on the bus does speak clear. English he gives us direction. The boat guide and most people in bacalar we found to only speak spainish. That limited us. I can only understand a small amount of spainish. The German girls could not understand any. We paired up with them. Another woman on the boat spoke some English and she was helpful too. We all enjoyed the tour. Personally I would stay a night or 2 on this lake in bacalar it's stunning beautiful!!! It is a long day on a bus, but the centoes, lagoon and lake are fantastic.
Response from the operator: Hello Jacqui! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with us, and we truly appreciate your positive review! Your feedback is valuable and helps us aim for perfection. We look forward to the opportunity to make your next experience with us even more amazing!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does 1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tulum is not rushed.
Is 1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tulum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Day Tour to Bacalar, Cenotes and 7 color Lagoon with lunch from Cancun start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tulum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tulum?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tulum?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
