About this experience
From the moment you step off your ship in Costa Maya, everything is taken care of — round-trip transportation, a local guide who knows the stories and legends of Pirate’s Channel, and plenty of time to enjoy Bacalar without worrying about missing your “All Aboard.” Along the way, stop in Pedro Santos, a small Mayan community known for its sweet honey pineapples, before arriving at Bacalar’s famous Seven Colors Lagoon. Cruise across shades of turquoise and blue, swim in the lagoon’s clear waters and cenotes, then climb back aboard for fresh fruit, snacks, cold beer, shots and drinks from the open bar. Afterward, enjoy a traditional Mexican lunch at a local restaurant, where regional flavors bring Costa Maya’s culture to life. With small-group comfort, authentic local touches, and transportation planned around your cruise schedule, it’s a perfect fit for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for history, adventure, and relaxation all in one unforgettable day.

What you'll see and do
Pedro Antonio Santos
Your adventure begins 1 hour after your cruise ship docks in Costa Maya. Meet your guide just outside the port’s main entrance, where they’ll be waiting beside a welcome board. From there, take a short walk to the nearby meeting point and begin your journey toward Bacalar. Along the way, make a brief stop in Pedro Santos, a small Mayan community surrounded by the tropical countryside of southern Quintana Roo. Known locally for its sweet honey pineapples, this is a chance to learn about one of the fruits grown in the region and get a glimpse of everyday local life beyond the cruise port. Then continue through the Yucatán countryside toward Bacalar and its famous Seven Colors Lagoon.

Stop along the way to swim in Bacalar’s clear waters and cenotes, then climb back aboard and enjoy fresh fruit, snacks, cold beer, shots and drinks from the open bar as you continue exploring the lagoon. After your time on the water, head to a local Mexican restaurant for an included lunch and enjoy authentic regional flavors before settling in for the ride back to Costa Maya and your cruise ship.

Bacalar Seven Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.
How much does Bacalar Seven Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar cost?
+
Prices start at $159 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 Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar?
+
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 Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bacalar Seven Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar?
+
Around 0 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bacalar Seven Colors Lagoon Boat Adventure with Open Bar 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.
