Excellent communication
Our family booked this when our cruise ship was scheduled to port at Costa Maya. Unfortunately the sea was very rough that day and we were unable to dock. Communication with Wild Wave Bacalar was excellent. Upon finding out that our cruise ship was unable to dock, they immediately refunded our money. We hope to go back and take the excursion one day! Please rest assured that this is a reputable company that communicates well with you.

Crushing
Beautiful location, extremely nice crew. However, the instructions to get to the meeting place were not clear. We had to stop many times to ask other venders to meet the taxi drivers and it quite a walk to get to outside taxi .

Beautiful lagoon, crystal clear water, Captain Sylvia was amazing
Awesome experience! Everything was great, including the fresh fruit snacks. Captain was knowledgeable and explained everything immensely. Water was crystal clear and warm.
via Tripadvisor
Long drive but nice
It’s about an hour and 10 minute drive to get to the area where you get on a pontoon and see the lagoon. It is very nice. Very clear water then you have to go an hour and 10 minutes back to the boat so it’s over two hours of travel time.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.
How much does Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation cost?
+
Prices start at $135 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 Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation 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 Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 54 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 Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation?
+
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 Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation 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 Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation?
+
Around 19 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 Lagoon of 7 colors from Costa Maya - Boat Tour and transportation 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, Chacchoben Mayan Ruins from 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.
