Fascinating Trip with Oskar guide and Manuel driver
We recently did a full-day private tour to Bacalar, Fort Felipe, and Cenote Azul in Quintana Roo, Mexico, and it was one of the best excursions we’ve ever had.From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. Our guide Oskar was exceptional – knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the history and natural beauty of the region. He explained everything in perfect English, shared interesting stories about the Mayan culture, the pirates who once occupied the area, and the unique ecosystem of the Lagoon of Seven Colors. He answered all our questions with patience and made the whole day feel personal and special.Our driver Manuel was also fantastic – safe, punctual, and always smiling. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Great experience!
Great experience. We didn’t have enough time to spend a couple of days there, so this tour was enough to get to know Bacalar in a fair amount of time. Maui and Angel were our tour guides and both were, transparent, great and organized. Everything was on time and the food was also good. The only thing about this tour is that it didn’t come with the boat ride around the lagoon so we had the option to stay at the beach club (which was cute but small) or pay an extra 250 pesos/person (which isn’t a bad price). We chose to pay and had a great time. If you’re looking for the ride around the lagoon then I would recommend maybe booking that tour instead.
Response from the operator: Hello Abigail, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in Bacalar and that Maui and Angel made the tour organized and fun. We appreciate your note about the boat ride and we’re glad you enjoyed it. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable adventure in Bacalar!

Not worth it
I wouldn’t take this tour again. I would definitely just go to BACALAR on my own to spend time where I wanted. It is convenient to be taken to each place however other than that we didn’t get much from our tour guide. We also did not go to the fort at all. It was completely skipped.
Response from the operator: Hi Layla, we regret that it was not what you expected as well as the omitted visit to the San Felipe's Fort (sometimes there are unannounced closures to the site), however when booking the trip it's specified that the visit to the San Felipe's Fort is for panoramic view. We invite you to know other attractions or activities. Have a nice day and best regards.

Fabulous
The trip was awesome. Arturo was fabulous. He spoke 3 different languages for all on the bus. The food was incredible. I absolutely recommend this excursion. We also were giving bathroom breaks on the way. Very helpful.Yes it's a drive however you get to see the most amazing views once you arrive you'll quickly forget that you were on a van at all. Thanks for everything Arturo.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for sharing us your comments. It is great to know that you had a wonderful day full of magic and unique moments! We hope you come back soon and live with us a new adventure, see you soon.

Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Sam.
How much does Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Sam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Punta Sam is not rushed.
Is Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Punta Sam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote?
+
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 Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote?
+
Around 4 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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day tour to BACALAR, Beach Club, Kayak and an amazing Cenote 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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Sam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Tequila and Lunch, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Tulum & Coba with Cenote, Cave Exploration, Lunch & Tastings. 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 Punta Sam?
+
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 Punta Sam?
+
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.

+
Included: ENtrance and visit to Cenote Azul; Panoramic tour of San Felipe Fort and Bacalar Lagoon; Cenote Admission; Lunch; and Breakfast. Not included: Carbonated beverages; and Vest in Cenote $3 USD per person. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

+
