This 6 or 8 hour guided tour includes:
6 Hour Hidden Lagoon Tour or 8 Hours via Pirate Channel
This 18 km round trip will first lead you to the other
side of the Laguna Bacalar and after about 1 hour
paddling you will enter the mangroves of the Hidden
Lagoon.
While gliding silently through the small channels you
have a chance to observe the birds that live in the
mangroves and may see snakes, tapirs and the shy
morelet’s crocodiles.
After about 2 hours of paddling the channel widens
into a big lagoon from where we head back for Laguna
Bacalar. Right at the inlet a beautiful white small
beach with turquoise clear water welcomes us. Here
you have plenty of time to swim and play in the
crystal clear water while your guide prepares lunch.
After enjoying this little piece of paradise we paddle
along the lush jungle shore of the Laguna of the Seven
Colors back to Villas Ecotucan.
