“Waking up to the alarm sound at 4am for a paddleboard tour is NOT ME AT ALL. So I thought to myself a thousand times, half awake, 'should I just cancel it and sleep 5 more hours?' But getting out of bed for this tour ended up being one of the best decisions of my life! It was quite chilly (10th feb). We didn't get to see a clear sunrise because it was pretty cloudy but I enjoyed every bit of learning how to paddle. Plus the cloudy lagoon was such a vibe! It was a big group and everyone else chose kayaks over SUP, and most had a partner…”

10.Paddleboard or kayak sunrise tour in Bacalar lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 7 reviews · 3 hours · from $32

Start early on Bacalar Lagoon by paddleboard or kayak, watch sunrise, visit Bird Island and the Black Cenote, then enjoy coffee, bread, and seasonal fruit on the water. English or Spanish guides, including Sergio and Jorge, lead the three-hour outing.

“De tour opzich was erg mooi en het ontbijt op het water was ook erg leuk en lekker met toast en vers fruit. Onze gids Sergio was aardig en kon veel vertellen. In de voorbereiding had het beter gekund. Er waren eigenlijk niet voldoende kayaks en de materialen (drinken, reddingsvesten) lagen nog niet klaar, waardoor het lang duurde voor iedereen op het water was. De zonsopgang was toen al ruim begonnen.”
