First time visiting Bacalar!

Lovely pontoon adventure
emilymS9420XQ, October 2026
Our experience on the pontoon trip was great! We took our two small kids and they had a blast. Love learning about the lagoon the Cenotes within it, we learned a lot about how the environment is changing and the impact of humankind. Beautiful waters and people. My children loved the swimming and the awesome fruit tray that was provided.
