5.0 Fantastic experience

Globetrotter4ever, May 2026

This was the highlight of my excursions Great communication with the tour operator They met me at the end of the cruise walk Met other people and we all got Ina taxi provided by the tour The drive there and back was efficient The beautiful boat ride narrated by a young local lady was fantastic We stopped a couple of time and our small group enjoyed this magnificent turquoise color I highly recommend A pinch me moment

5.0 Crushing

Pioneer604694, March 2026

Beautiful location, extremely nice crew. However, the instructions to get to the meeting place were not clear. We had to stop many times to ask other venders to meet the taxi drivers and it quite a walk to get to outside taxi .

5.0 A beautiful experience

Escape50232197429, February 2026

A wonderful day with many experiences . Gladly again .A two beer there could have been more:).our captain and the sailor were top and very informative. Thank you

5.0 Beautiful lagoon, crystal clear water, Captain Sylvia was amazing

DSNehring, February 2026

Awesome experience! Everything was great, including the fresh fruit snacks. Captain was knowledgeable and explained everything immensely. Water was crystal clear and warm.

4.0 Long drive but nice

Mike_L, February 2026

It’s about an hour and 10 minute drive to get to the area where you get on a pontoon and see the lagoon. It is very nice. Very clear water then you have to go an hour and 10 minutes back to the boat so it’s over two hours of travel time.

5.0 So beautiful , reliable and lovely

Globetrotter4ever, January 2026

The pickup was prompt and WhatsApp really helped to identify who when Great communication from several days leading to The 1 hour or so drive by the hired taxi was smooth to the little simple and yet lovely venue Right away we proceeded to separate into chalupa or little boats We spent fabulous time going to a deep black hole and then across freshwater so blue that it felt magical Great company Few cannettes of beers and fruits Nice explanation very down to earth Beautiful scenery and a couple of stops to walk or swim in that blue We were back at our ports in time Met lovely people who also toured I highly recommend and even as a Solo Ps no sunscreen in your face unless you don’t put it in the water

1.0 Lousy experience! Irresponsible

costa149, December 2025

The truth is a disappointment and a total deception..first left us waiting about 1 hour! To pick us up and then the tour did not last as indicated! It lasted much less to start the afternoon of the pickup and be able to return. I don't really recommend them!

Response from Host, December 2025

Buenos dias Adriano, por favor si vas a dejar un comentario que sea con la verdad. No tuviste que esperar 1 hora, es completamente falso, llegaste antes y pasaron 25 minutos de la hora oficial de cita. Se te explicó que habían otros pasajeros llegando con movilidad reducida y fueron completamente groseros con el personal y 0% empaticos, incluso entre ustedes mismos. El tour de barco dura entre 2.30 y 3hs dependiendo la embarcación. Tu tour duró 2.30hs exactamente lo que especifica el itinerario, por lo cual tambien es falso lo que dices. Te recomendamos que si no tienes la amabilidad, empatia paciencia y flexibilidad de reservar un tour compartido con mas pasajeros, la proxima reserva experiencias privadas. Saludos

5.0 Simply beautiful! A must see!

larapF1128OJ, December 2025

What an amazing day out in Bacalar. The transportation was great, followed by the wonderful Sylvia full of knowledge about the lagoon.

5.0 I recommend Wild Wave

Q9403FZflorenciab, November 2025

We did the pontoon tour around the lagoon with Wild Wave and it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. The tour took us through different points to swim in those incredible waters, with time to enjoy, play with the ball we were given and just connect with the magic of Bacalar. The attention of the team was impeccable: we were offered fresh fruit, cold beers and a super clear guide in both Spanish and English. The energy of all the staff is super cute, attentive, respectful and very cool. Captain Silvia makes your tour very fun and interactive, informs you of the history and wealth that inhabits the lagoon. A huge point in favor: I traveled with Juana, my little dog, and we were received with total love and naturalness. It was a quiet, safe and very enjoyable walk for both of us. If you are in Bacalar and want to live the lagoon from a relaxed, caring and authentic place, Wild Wave is the experience. I highly recommend.

5.0 The weather was cloudy,...

Jesenia_P, November 2025

The weather was cloudy, we enjoyed the whole experience. It was very beautiful and peaceful. Look out for Iguana’s on top of the trees.

5.0 Amazing excursion

Jessica_L, November 2025

We really enjoyed this excursion, it was fun and safe. Our driver was professional and friendly. Our tour guide Sylvia was informative professional and alot of fun. Not to mention her amazing music. Would highly recommend!

5.0 Excellent experience!

monc856, September 2025

The tour was perfect! The weather looked like he wouldn't cooperate but in the end he did let us enjoy it. Both Leandro and Maria were very attentive and kind to us, explaining everything about the lagoon. Super recommended! And they also have accommodation options with a spectacular view of the lagoon!

4.0 Bacalar lagoon

Jen_H, September 2025

1hr 15 drive/ride from cruise port. The water is beautiful to see and swim in. No beautiful fish to snorkel and see because the minerals in the water don't attract wildlife. The guide was informative and the fruit was refreshing.

5.0 Unbelievable Experience - A Must Do in Costa Maya

570angeliquec, September 2025

Communication with the tour provider was clear & directions were provided well in advance. It was a little bit difficult to find the driver since traffic issues surrounding the port were a little hectic since other cruise lines were there. We were transported with another couple in a taxi to the lagoon. We were met by Captain Leondro & his First Mate Maria & boarded the sailboat to the lagoon. We saw several sites around the lagoon & enjoyed swimming in the pristine fresh clear water of the lagoon. We were served the most delicious mangoes, papaya, & watermelon on a floating tray. It was a fantastic experience & I would definitely do it again. We really enjoyed our time.

5.0 Lovely Afternoon!

laurenbV427BD, August 2025

The boat was clean and beautiful! The lake was amazing! Swimming and the sun were perfect. The experience is unmatched. Can't wait to go back!!

5.0 Amazing Experience, Highly Recommend

1000madelineg, August 2025

The tour was absolutely amazing! I first reached out via WhatsApp, and they responded very quickly, helping me make the reservation with ease. We were on a cruise, and they even reached out the day before to confirm our arrival. The meeting spot was conveniently located just outside the port, past all the stores. Our driver, Jorge, was right there waiting for us—super kind and welcoming. Ricardo, our tour guide, was outstanding! He was so friendly and made the entire experience unforgettable, even with the rain. Everything was incredibly well- organized and easy to book. I would highly recommend this tour and this company to anyone looking for a wonderful experience!

5.0 Bacalar best tour

Janay H, August 2025

We love everything about it. Transportation included, lagoon was beautiful, we stopped in a few places to swim. Communication & customer service was excellent Highly recommended

5.0 Worth the drive from the port! The water was even more beautiful than that of the Bahamas. Would do again and again.

The Stevens-Mar... F, July 2025

Our extended family has a blast. Water was warm and clear, service was excellent, private transport was very comfortable. Glad we didn’t book through the cruise line and get stuck on a mega bus.

5.0 Good experience

Jeffery_W, July 2025

Pretty cool to be on a sail boat with just our family and the 2 tour guide people. The fruit on the boat was also really good.

5.0 In one word, perfect.

Y3601RMpauls, June 2025

It was an amazing trip thanks to Leandro and Maria. Definitly worth it. They know a lot about the location and take their time.

5.0 Must, must, must see! You won't regret it!

Karolina_L, May 2025

This is simply a must see, must do! We had the best time, the drive was an hour and 15 minutes from our port, but sooooo worth the drive. We relaxed and talked with our family group of 7 on the drive. Not too much to see. Then got to where the boat was. Use the facilities, then hopped on with our life jackets for the most beautiful boat ride and snorkeling/swimming and information of a 7 colored lagoon of fresh water and cenotes! The staff on our boat, catered to our every need, very accommodating, friendly, professional and informative of the lagoon!my family of two aunts, one cousin, mother child and husband were thanking me for finding this excursion! The water was amazing, and the fruit was watermelon and mangos...the best mangoes I have ever had...and I'm a mango freak!

5.0 Wonderful and unmatched experience

lorenitap2021, April 2025

It was an amazing experience, the service and attention was first class, very professional and above all the level of human quality. Silvia (the captain) left us amazed with so much history and detailed information and with love that she transmitted to us from this wonderful place, making it clear that it is only a Lagoon, if not part of our life story to which we must take care and continue transmitting this information. Thanks for not being a simple walk! I hope that more people can enjoy this beautiful experience that you transmit to us.

5.0 A tour to paradise

Hernan V, April 2025

Incredible tour of the lagoon of Bacalar. Silvia, the captain is a genius and she gave us interesting information about microbialites. The landscapes, natural environment and fresh water of the lagoon build a unique paradise. The sailing tour is the best way to live this experience.

5.0 Relaxing vibes

Kelly W, April 2025

We chose the sailboat over a pontoon for a quieter, less crowded experience - a chance to chill with our 3 teenage daughters. Wild Waves delivered :-) Our skipper Irving and first mate Carla looked after us superbly during the 3 hrs spent cruising around the beautiful Bacalar lagoon. Knowledgeable and welcoming, they engaged with us throughout the trip yet still managed to give us plenty of time & space to chill and enjoy the day as a family. Favourite spots for us were Pirates canal & checking out Cenote Negro. The fruit platter towards the end was a particular highlight - tastiest we’ve had in Mexico! Thank you Irving (and Carla) for answering all our questions (so many!) and making us feel so welcome in Bacalar. Highly recommend this trip.

5.0 Beautiful Lagoon

dagackster, February 2025

This was a great excursion. Captain Luis was great and was very informative. There isn’t very much to do in Costa Maya and this is a little outside of Costa Maya, and hour drive each way. However, it was worth the drive. I would recommend.

4.0 Sailing across the lagoon

Roving175199, February 2025

The tour was fantastic. Unfortunately, we did not have good weather, which is why the wonderful colors of the lagoon did not come into their own. The team on board was super friendly and answered a lot of questions. It was super interesting. We sailed a lot of the tour with the wind, no engine. That was my personal highlight from the tour. Big thanks to Leandro and Camilla.

Response from Host, February 2025

Thank you for taking the time and writing the review. It's was a pleasure to have you with us.

5.0 Very nice experience

Guylaine B, January 2025

5.0 The best activity of our trip

horacioc584, January 2024

Magical experience seeing that lagoon and those colors. Everyone's attention was very good, we swam in turquoise waters, the view of the pier is unmatched.

5.0 Incredible experience

mariafernandam349, November 2023

A beautiful experience!! The tour that Sócrates and Zazil gave us, they showed us incredible views, they gave us some fruit and some beers; without a doubt the best guides!! Highly recommended. I will definitely come back to paddle board with them on my next trip!!!

5.0 Absolutely amazing

Byron_8aDiaz, November 2023

Thank you irving and zazil, this was the best of our cruise trip. Excursion was fantastic. The lagoon is absolutely beautiful and the boat with drinks and fresh fruit included was amazing. The pick up was really easy. We'll came back.

5.0 Wonderful Experience!

nataliamahmud, August 2023

Our family had a blast during this tour! We had a relaxing and peaceful experience. Socrates and Zazil are very friendly and particularly passionate about the Lake and its environmental protection. Our family enjoyed swimming for the first time in such clear water. We also liked that they offered fresh fruit and not heavy food like other tours. The shore excursions offered by the Cruise line were limited and more expensive. I highly recommend booking this tour with them if you're docking in Costa Maya from a cruise ship. Fiona and Byron are attentive and will ensure you return on time. The Bacalar Lagoon was the perfect place for our first time sailing!

5.0 Awe-inpiring experience

ErikaDdL, July 2023

This experience was extraordinary! Wild Wave staff Bacalar Leandro (English and German speaking) and Zihua (English speaking) were super attentive and shared their extensive knowledge of the area enriching the ride with the fascinating history of the place. We got his cute Ixchel sailboat. The cherry on the cake was that we could swim for a while in a divine area with crystal clear waters and a fine white sand like talc. We had a day with passing clouds that at the different times that the sun rays reappeared were changed by the various shades of blues, greens and colors that delight us the nature of this lagoon. The beauty of this place far exceeded my expectations, there are simply no words or photos that pay justice to the majesty of this lagoon. And without a doubt the best way to appreciate the lagoon is by sailing with Wild Wave Bacalar. An extraordinary experience!!! The staff of Wild Wave Bacalar Leandro (speaks english and german) and Zihua (speaks english) were very welcoming and they shared their ample knowledge of the area enriching the trip with the fascinating history of the place. We got to ride on the beautiful Ixchel sailboat. The cherry of the cake was that we were able to swim in a beautiful crystal clear area where the white sand was as fine as talc. We had some clouds that passed by and actually as the sun rays reappered we were amazed with the change of tonalities of blues, greens and its diverse pallet of colors that this lagoon delights us with. The beauty of this place definitely surpaseed my expectations. There are simply no words and or photos that can do justice of the real sublime beauty the lagoon. There is no doubt in my mind that the best way to enjoy and appreciate this lagoon is on Wild Wave Bacalar sailboats

5.0 Incredible Experience

I6169WYoscaral, July 2023

Overall the whole trip was amazing and it is not for less great place, great hosts nothing could go wrong. We had already had the experience of sailing the lagoon, this time we chose to do it in a more relaxing and different way on board "paddel board " and wow! what an experience I highly recommend, my daughter was nervous and when I managed to stand and dominate the board was the happiest, if it is your first time as was our case, don't worry the staff was taking care of us and giving the necessary advice at all times to make our experience a success and it was, really thank you to all the crew for their attentions. until next time.
