It was ok...
Our guide was great. The first place we stopped to see the Cenote Azul was great. Nice breakfast and scenery. The second stop at the Bacalar Lagoon was good too where we got to swim and chill. We decided not to go kayaking as the weather was rainy and we went on the boat tour instead, which meant paying an extra 630MXN. After this, we went to the pretty awful buffet lunch. the food was cold and tasteless and the severs had their fingers in the food as they were holding the plates at an odd angle which meant their fingers slid into the food. Also, the DJ was playing super loud tunes which was more nightclub than chilling by a lagoon. This tour involves at least 6 hours of being on a coach, which is a lot and worth considering if you want to have that as part of a tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for letting us know about your experience The boat tour was not included, it was offered as an alternative since you didn't want to go kayaking. The buffet food is made everyday and nothing gets reheated and nothing is cold. We undertstand that you don't like mexican food, but calling it "cold and tasteless" is a strech We'll look into the waiters performance at the restaurant, we haven't receive any complaints about them And yes, the transportation times for this tour are long, however, they are well worth the trip

Historic trip
I highly recommend checking this out, the tour guides tell you some of the history before you get there on the bus since it is a 3 hour drive there and back so it’s a full day trip. Everyone was nice and friendly the food was included in our package and was super yummy. The bus does get cold so make sure you bring a jacket or something warm. The sun when you get there is pretty brutal so make sure you take a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and they will give you umbrellas. You do need to bring a little cash to tip the guides and if you want to buy any souvenirs. I would definitely go again and they take you to the Cenotes as well which was super zen you learn a lot and super cool to see something that old.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City cost?
+
Prices start at $136 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 Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City?
+
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 Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City?
+
Around 1 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bacalar Lagoon & Kayak Ride! Round Transportation from Tulum City 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.
