Nice tour

Published on Jan, 2024

It was a really nice tour - especially the aqua safari!!! Our guide was very kind and friendly :) would do it again.

Enjoyable experience

Published on May, 2023

The water was so pink and beautiful. Our guide was helpful in explaining how the salt was made. The boat ride was awesome with sighting of crocodiles and different types of birds including flamingoes.

Worth The Drive

Published on Dec, 2022

Our tour guide Arturo “Brad Pitt” was phenomenal, very charming and enthusiastic. Kept us informed and engaged at all times. Bonus he speaks multiple European languages. Keep in mind the drive to AND from the destinations is LONG, approx 4 hrs EACH way. Note that the vans picking you up at the hotel may transfer you to a coach bus where you will continue the rest of the drive. A small box lunch will be provided for you on the bus if you didn’t have an opportunity to eat before boarding. There is only one pink lake at Las Coloradas but you will have plenty of opportunity to take pictures. Really enjoyed the speed boat ride on the way to Rio Lagartos but not so much the beach area they let us swim in, water was murky. HIGHLY recommend trying the whole fried fish at the restaurant in Rio Lagartos. All in all was a good trip, felt slightly rushed through the places/activities but would do again.

Fantastic trip

Published on Aug, 2022

A very nice trip. Everything described in the trip was done. Beautiful scenes of nature, specifically a lake, crocodiles and flamingos in a natural environment. Boat ride through the beautiful landscapes of Rio Lagartos all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Excellent lunch at an excellent restaurant. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Thanks for a fantastic experience.

Rio Lagartos Getaway.

Published on Feb, 2022

Great under the radar tour in Yucatan. In close contact with the region fauna, and the unique conditions of the area make it a remarkable experience. The tour guides were extremely helpful and the food was fresh and tasty
