Creator's Key Takeaways

This might have been one of the excursions that I was the most excited about for this trip because before we started searching for excursions in Costa Maya, I'd actually knew nothing about Costa Maya and had never heard of the Bacalar Lagoon or the Lagoon of Seven Colors.

I truly enjoyed the water and the experience. And our tour was great. It was a great day.

So gorgeous, such a relaxing and fun day. Great for the kids.

If this was my only visit ever to Costa Maya, this experience was totally worth it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book excursions independently for better flexibility.
✓Wear swimwear and bring a towel, sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses for boat excursions.
✓Consider getting a sun SPF shirt to avoid sunburn.

YouTube Video Description↓

Escape the crowds in Costa Maya and discover one of Mexico’s most breathtaking natural wonders — the famous Bacalar Lagoon, also known as the “Lagoon of Seven Colors!” 🌊✨ On this unforgettable cruise excursion, we traveled from Costa Maya to beautiful Bacalar, where crystal-clear freshwater in stunning shades of blue created one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen. We explored the lagoon by boat, visited incredible cenotes, cruised through the famous Pirate Channel, and relaxed in the calm turquoise water while soaking up the laid-back vibes of this hidden paradise. Along the way, we learned about the history of Bacalar, saw stromatolites (some of the oldest living organisms on Earth!), and enjoyed authentic Mexican food and drinks. If you’re cruising to Costa Maya and looking for an excursion beyond the busy port area, Bacalar is an absolute must-do! 🌴☀️ In this video: • Bacalar Lagoon / Lagoon of Seven Colors • Boat tour through the lagoon • Cenotes & Pirate Channel • Costa Maya cruise excursion experience • Travel tips & excursion review • Freshwater swimming paradise in Mexico Would we recommend this Costa Maya excursion?
