What To Expect
We will be waiting for you at the main gate of our marina at Carmelita Lagoon Club. You will receive the necessary information and equipment to start your 3-hour paddle board or kayak activity.
Before starting, we will do a stretch and warm-up, and we will also give you a 10-minute induction about the use of the equipment and safety measures.
Your tour starts at Cenote Esmeralda, the largest of all cenotes. The mirror effect of the water will make you feel like you are rowing on clouds. (Photo opportunity: Capture an incredible photo when the water is completely still and creates a mirror effect).
You will swim through a charming channel to the first swimming spot where you will go to cool off while receiving the first ray of sun painting the sky with warm and bright colors. This is definitely the highlight moment of the activity you will remember forever.
You will continue towards the bird sanctuary where, depending on the season, you can observe different endemic and migratory species while enjoying a delicious floating picnic with the symphony of birds in the background.
Without a doubt a 'must' during your visit to Bacalar!
