Itinerary
Our vehicle is fully air‑conditioned at all times. We can accommodate up to a maximum of 22 passengers per vehicle. The drive to Bacalar Lagoon takes about one hour, after which we board the pontoon. Please note, friends, that on Wednesdays there is no navigation allowed anywhere in Bacalar Lagoon due to government regulations that protect the Lagoon of Seven Colors. This means that on Wednesdays we only visit the Blue Cenote, Bacalar Lagoon, and the restaurant. If you are arriving on a Wednesday at Costa Maya port, kindly contact me first via WhatsApp message or a regular call at my number, and I will attend to you as quickly as possible.*
