Fantastic Experience and Captain, Guide...DO THIS!

Diego and Kafid were such fun...If you are in Bacalar, this is a must. Diego is super-knowledgable about the area and ecology. There were so many laughs and good humor aboard. We were able to choose where and what type of journey we had, just amazing. The location from where the boat launches is also spectacular. Worth the $ for the private tour, my girlfriend's highlight of our entire trip to Bacalar. Ask for Diego and Kafid, I couldn't imagine them being any better...
Great Tour

Excellent experience! Our sailors Omar and Enrique made for great company. We traveled with two couples. The laguna is absolutely stunning and truly has many different colors. They took to the north part of the lake first which is completely turquoise, here we laid anchor and did some terrific swimming. Afterwards we went to a cenote within the laguna. Be sure to ask to go with Omar and Enrique when you book! Omar plays perfect tunes whilst on the boat. 10/10 would recommend this tour!
Can only recommend :)

We had a great day on the beautiful lagoon. As it was a private sailboat we could choose where we want to go and skip the crowded places. They provided us with beer, fresh juice and snacks.
Special thanks to our captain Mau! He was super fun and has a lot of knowledge about sailing, the area and the stromatolites.
Best Experience!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
