We will be waiting for you at the main door of our marina at Casa China Bacalar. You will receive the necessary information and equipment to start your 3-hour paddle board or kayak activity. Before starting we will do a stretching and warm-up, we will also give you a 10-minute induction about the use of the equipment and safety measures. Your tour begins 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 amazing photo when the water is completely flat and creates a mirror effect.) You will paddle through a charming channel to the first swimming point where you will go down to cool off while you receive the first ray of sun painting the sky with warm and bright colors. This is definitely the highlight of the activity that you will remember forever. You will continue towards the bird sanctuary where, depending on the season, you will be able to 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!

We went on our trip with Adrian and his dog Suzie. They were very kind and took the time to show us everything. It was our first time on a paddling board and it was one to remember! The views were beautiful and the cenotes were too!

Amazing!!! I would definitely repeat it! Angelo was the one who took us and most! He had a lot of patience, explained everything, took us to the best places in Bacalar. He prepared us a breakfast of fruit + delicious juices. I recommend it full for all kinds of people. I went with my dad and Angelo super attentive. Loved it.
