Worst guided tour ever
The photo in this advert is rather misleading. Only one lagoon turned out to be worth the visit. The first two were murky, full of screaming kids, unappealing. We could not bring ourselves to even dip our toes into the dirty waters. The tour guide was rather rude, hardly explained anything. We were all cramped onto a large sized bus with painfully narrow seats and hardly any leg room. The Aircon was on full blast all throughout the entire journey which made it so unpleasant, it left us shivering to our teeth! The driver and guide refused to turn it down despite our pleas. There was no WiFi internet service to kill the time for the rather long boring journey. One could not even watch the landscapes as the seats were so narrow that we were unable to move right or left. The guide dropped us in a horrid filthy restaurant. We were offered a terrible breakfast, I would not even offer it to a dog, we wasted a very long time in this dingy place having to wait for those who opted to take a dip in the murky waters. Our second stop was no better, another crappy restaurant overlooking another boring lagoon, nothing to rave about, full of concrete and swings, crowded with a lot of small kids. We were forced to stay there for another good boring 2 hours. We were driven to another lagoon which was much better than the other two. At least it has clear waters. They dumped us in the shallow part for one hour, unable to swim properly. The boat trip itself lasted for 45 minutes only. Finally, we were dropped into another dingy restaurant. We were offered a terrible inedible bland undercooked soggy greasy fish meal, a sprinkle of sweetened lettuce salad and stale rice. We then headed back to Tulum, another long harrowing freezing cold uncomfortable lengthy endless journey. The toilet on the bus was dirty, had no soap, no toilet paper and no hand towels. Stay away. It’s a total con and a rip off. Total waste of time. In conclusion, the entire journey focused on 3 bad restaurants with bad food, bad atmosphere and hardly any fun or adventure or educational activity or experience. A total waste of time and money
Response from the operator: This review is anything but real This tour only has one lagoon included and 2 cenotes, which are not lagoons. You complained about kids and other people being at the turistics spots, this tour was never advertised as private, a turistic place with many people visiting it is something to be expected We received multiple complains from other travelers since you were harassing them into your own depresive mood, when the guide asked you to leave them alone you insulted and cursed to him. The guides did many lectures along the way but you refused to pay any attention You demanded multiples times for the AC to be turned off and turned on and the guide could not keep doing that, you were even offered a blanket The restaurants are nothing like you described, but at this point we understand that you just wanted to exagerated and lie for no reason whatsoever There's much more to address from you review, but we won't, since it's childish in it's entirely For anyone reading, check other reviews, read the tour description and photos

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City cost?
+
Prices start at $138 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City?
+
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 The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City?
+
Around 1 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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The 7 Colors Of Beauty Lagoon, Bacalar Experience from Tulum City 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. 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 Tulum?
+
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 Tulum?
+
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.
