Peaceful & Authentic - Peaceful & Authentic: Arriving on Enchantment of the Seas, I wanted something different from the usual big-bus tours. This small-group experience was exactly that. Sharing a traditional meal with a Mayan family felt personal, and floating in Bacalar’s clear waters was the highlight of my cruise.

good - Three Generations, One Perfect Day: Our group had grandparents, parents, and kids, all from Wonder of the Seas, and we all loved it. The kids had fun making tortillas, my parents enjoyed the cultural stories, and we all swam together in Bacalar’s turquoise waters. This tour had something for everyone.

Solo Traveler’s Dream - Solo Traveler’s Dream: I was sailing on Grandeur of the Seas and booked this tour alone—it was the best decision! The guide made me feel included right away. Sharing lunch with a Mayan family was unforgettable, and relaxing at Bacalar Lagoon afterward felt like paradise.

Great tour, long walk. - Rosa was an amazing tour guide! She took care of everything for us and was very knowledgeable. The only thing we did not like about this tour was how long it took to walk down the extremely long pier and then another 15 min to where the tour began. Its a long walk with small children.

Don't waste your money - Booked this trip 3 weeks in advance to do during our cruise. Received the itinerary but there was no meeting time or drop off time given, which made it hard to know if it would match up to the cruise arrival/departure. Contacted the booking agent twice to resolve this and was told the vendor (Next Experience) would provide the necessary details within a few hours. Never heard back - twice. Had to cancel.
