Amazing!!
Jhoana Z was an AMAZING tour guide. Not only did she have a ton of information about the surrounding area, but she was able to help out with our engagement without me (the future bride) having even the slightest clue as to what was going on until it was already happening. Our entire experience was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and overall experience at Bacalar Lagoon. Book with Jhoana!!!

Worth the price
From the beginning until the end, this tour was worth every penny. Our guide, Jhoana, was fabulous! Very knowledgeable about the area and so personable. The catamaran was perfect for our family of 6 and the pineapple they fed us was the best we ever had. I would strongly recommend this tour if you are looking for a more personal touch!

An amazing Bacalar experience!
We highly recommend booking the Bacalar Lagoon Private Catamaran excursion by Eco Experience Costa Maya. We booked this excursion via Viator. The communication was on point. Jhoana, our tour guide, was so personable and accommodating. The drive was about 1h 20min but it was worth it. The Lagoon was beautiful, the swimming was refreshing. Our excursion included lunch and drinks that were delicious. Jhoana had us back at the port in a timely fashion! I would definitely book this excursion again if we visit Costa Maya. Thank you Jhoana for being amazing to our group!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bacalar Lagoon Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.
How much does Bacalar Lagoon Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya cost?
+
Prices start at $185 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Costa Maya 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 Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Costa Maya is not rushed.
Is Bacalar Lagoon Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Costa Maya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bacalar Lagoon Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya?
+
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 Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bacalar Lagoon Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya?
+
Around 6 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 Costa Maya 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 Costa Maya and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bacalar Lagoon Private Catamaran Lunch and Drinks from Costa Maya 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 Costa Maya 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 Costa Maya?
+
On Outty we rank every Costa Maya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chacchoben & Bacalar Combo Excursion Costa Maya, Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip, Bacalar – 7 Colors Lagoon Excursión Costa Maya. 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 Costa Maya?
+
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 Costa Maya?
+
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.
