We had a great sail with Danny & Saul. They were very informative about the lagoon and you can tell that they sincerely liked their job and enjoyed giving us amazing service. You can't come to Bacalar without doing this trip. The only problem was three hours was not enough! Oh, you have to cover up since no sunscreen of any kind is allowed since it will damage the ecology of the lagoon. I didn't cover well enough and got a burn I definitely felt in the shower.
