River Tubing at Seven Colors Lagoon

  • COSTA MAYA-River Tubing Seven Colors Lagoon-Illustration-v1-01-1200x800
From 140
Take in nature from the comfort of an inner tube, gently pulling your group over the prismatic Lagoon of Seven Colors.
Ease down a gently flowing river that empties into the spring-fed Bacalar Lagoon. You’ll glide down the river in an inflatable tube as an assistance boat gently pulls your group through the pristine waters. Take in one spectacular sight after another including mangrove forests, water birds, and native stromatolites — bizarre ancient rock formations. Downstream, there will be time to float and swim, followed by a return trip to the shore for a picnic-style lunch served in this gorgeous setting.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
