What To Expect
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!
