Enjoy a day out on one of Guatemala's most beautiful lakes on this sightseeing cruise with transport from Antigua. This exciting full-day tour takes you to Lago de Atitlán (Lake Atitlan), a large lake with three volcanoes on its southern shore. Starting in the town of Panajachel, cruise across the lake and enjoy its fantastic scenery as you make your way to the Tzutujil village of Santiago de Atitlán. Then head back to Panajachel, where you’ll have time in town to browse the local handicraft stands, shops and restaurants on Santander Street.

Views are wonderful.
We went on a Monday because we had tours planned for the rest of the days of the week, and it was a great decision because there were few people which made the boarding process at the ports easier. I recommend it 100% and I would definitely return.
Many thanks to our guide Don Anibal, excellent service!

We loved our trip to Lake Atitlán our driver was very knowledgeable, helpful and patient with us while we shopped and stayed longer and still got all our tour highlights done. We are a busy family of five and we loved speeding across the Lake and visiting all the merchants. Quality tour all around.

I love our tour. Carmen was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She brought us to the best stores San Juan and ended our tour at a nice restaurant and the food was great.

Our tour guide, Louis was fabulous and so informative. He taught us and demonstrated how different coffee beans grow. The travel vehicle was comfty. Loved the stop at the weavers, where we learned how cotton is transformed into yarn using natural plants for dye. Overall, fabulous day trip!

My friend and I booked this trip since we wanted to do a day trip from Antigua. The pickup/drop off service was excellent. There were 5 other people in our group which was nice, not too crowded. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was nice and tried to be as accommodating as possible, even personalizing the trip based on our preference (spending more time at one place vs others).
I think the only thing that could be improved is the time we spent at panjachel. we went through four different cultural learning/experiences (weaving, chocolate making, honey, and coffee making). these could have been made a bit better or scrapped completely. The demonstrations were very rushed it was more of an opportunity for us to shop, we probably could have done that on our own if we got the time to explore the island a bit more.
Overall an excellent day trip! :)

If you are in Antigua, this should be on your bucket list! The tour started off by being picked up by our Tour Guide, Oscar Calderon. He was prompt and arrived on time. After our introductions we left for an approximately 3 hour drive to Lake Atitlan. Although the drive was long we had an excellent tour by Oscar that the time flew by very fast. Oscar is an extremely intellectual person and gave us the insights of Guatemala history. He spoke perfect English and is extremely very knowledgeable in the Mayan history and culture. As we drove by we given details about the nearby people as the styles of clothing worn by females. Attention to detail was given in this tour. We then stopped off at a nearby restaurant place called Katok Ingreso. This place reminded me of a place in the mountains and had a rustic feel. Traditional dress was worn by the females inside and the place had a very good mountainous feel to it. The restaurant was very clean and the food looked amazing. However, it was a pit stop and we continued with our adventure to the lake. On the way we made another stop at an aerial view where we could see an additional view of the lake. Thereafter, we made our final visit to the lake where we took a boat to San Juan.
From there we visited several stops at nearby vendors and highlights of the area. We went to a place where they showed us how the people there make handmade scarfs and other items by hand. Afterwards, we learned how to make chocolate as well as primitive medicine from descendants of the Mayan people. This trip did not disappoint as we were constantly involved as Oscar shared his expertise on the Mayan culture and how it has evolved into the future of Guatemala. Thereafter, we took a boat back to where we had an excellent lunch and then back to Antigua. Overall, if you want to experience a memorable tour, I highly recommend this company and definitely recommend Oscar Calderon as your guide. He is very personable and your tour will end with a truly remarkable experience!

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour with Oscar Calderon. He is full of knowledge and really loves the Mayan culture. We loved that he kept giving us history on the Mayan culture along the way, so it made the ride to and from Lake Atitlan short. He took us to shops where we learned about chocolate making, natural medicine, and the weaving process. We ate a nice lunch at a good restaurant in Panajachel too! I highly recommend this tour!

Lake Atitlan is stunning as any place on the planet and only enhanced by the charming community of San Juan.
