Stunning Water and NO CROWDS
Absolutely loved this trip! The only downside was how long it takes to travel to and from the lagoon. It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes to arrive to the marina and another hour to travel back. Once you add it up, that eats into your total excursion time quite a bit. We loved our guide, Jhoana, she was very knowledgeable & friendly. We ended up being only 4 of 6 people on this excursion. So if you are looking for a less crowded adventure, then this is for you! The water was even more stunning than the pictures do it justice, and the food was the best we had the entire trip!

Overall Good Trip, Good Food, Weak Drinks
The boat trip to the Bacalar Seven Color Lagoon was an enjoyable experience with a couple of minor caveats. The meal provided was genuinely good, and Johana made sure there was plenty of drinking water available throughout the excursion, which was much appreciated in the heat. The main letdown was the mixed drinks. If you are hoping for a real cocktail, keep your expectations low—they mixed a tiny splash of tequila with a generic Sprite, resulting in an extremely weak drink. Aside from the underwhelming bar situation, it was a solid excursion with great food and beautiful views. Johana was very friendly and went out of her way to make it more enjoyable with a little history lesson.

They will cancel on you. Don’t waste your time
They will cancel your reservation, don’t bother. Book elsewhere or get stuck planning something else last minute. They don’t even offer alternatives, I would have booked for 6 people for a private tour . Instead they just cancel you and leave you hanging hours before arriving. Twice now they did this to me .

THE BEST EXCURSION IN COSTA MAYA!!!
This trip was one for the ages! Truly one of the most fun trips that my family and I have ever taken. Eco Experience Costa Maya did not disappoint and ensured that our group of 34 were well taken care of. Jhoana and her team are true professionals with so much knowledge about Bacalar and the region, they were so informative, as well as fun. I highly recommend this guide and this excursion, you will not be disappointed. Also, they will ensure that you get back to the port on time for your cruise departure. They are very organized and professional when it comes to getting back to the ship. THANK YOU Eco Experience, we hope to do another excursion with you soon! -Nate Obregon

See the Lagoon!
We had an amazing time considering the short time we visited. Our tour guide was super nice, knowledgeable on the lagoon and surroundings as well as fun and made the long drive bearable. The lagoon is worth the drive; fresh, Shallow water and they served fresh fruit too! We spent plenty of time in the water which is what we wanted and had an authentic meal!!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BACALAR Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion from Costa Maya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.
How much does BACALAR Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion from Costa Maya cost?
+
Prices start at $145 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 Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion 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 Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion from Costa Maya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 114 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 Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion 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 Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion 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 Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion from Costa Maya?
+
Around 40 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 Seven Color Lagoon Boat Excursion 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.
