Get ready to embark on a journey that will take you to locations of other times and what seems like another world.
Discover the unrivaled pink tone of Lake Las Coloradas and the perfect contrast that the Lagartos River gives you with the beautiful flamingos on this day trip. We'll pick you up from your hotel door.
Las Coloradas its spectacular pink color is due to its high concentration of salt, microorganisms, and the sun. The intensity of the color varies depending on the position of the sun's rays, allowing us to admire a range of colors ranging from yellow and orange to pink that characterizes it.
Important information: From July 19 to August 19, 2023, due to the beginning of the salt harvest, the pink tone of Las Coloradas is much lower and you will not be able to appreciate the characteristic color of this area. We thank you for your understanding

The lake was definitely pink! The boat ride was nice but would like to have seen more animals. The crocodile farm was good. Had fun feeding and holding the different sized crocs. However it was almost too long of a day.

Pink lake was great, but there were over 40 "lakes" to visit however this tour included other pitstops so we were focused on the closer lakes. if you want a 1/2 day trip of just all the lakes you will want to drive yourself there and then take the tour offered by the Pink Lake crew (las coloradas). As a first intro, it was great, the boat ride was fabulous, and we really just had a great day. Hope you will too :)

Overall, excellent tour. Yes it was a long day, and yes the bus got cold. Our tour director Pablo was excellent and learned all the groups of people who were traveling my name and gave all information in both Spanish and English. Research the pink lakes before you come, some people didn’t realize it was a salt factory and were disappointed. I recommend wearing your swimsuit to the tour so you don’t need to change for the boat ride, which I loved! Breakfast and lunch provided a lot of food, but I do recommend bringing extra water and snacks.
The ONLY downside to this tour was the crocodile farm we stopped at as our third activity. It was a small facility that seems to exist only to fascinate tourists. Everyone got to hold several croc babies and the workers were just throwing them all over people’s shoulders nonstop. We went into the croc enclosure to feed them, and several workers waggled sticks in front of the crocs to entice them to move. As a animal lover, it was hard to watch. I may have booked a different tour if I knew we would stop at the croc version of Tiger King. I wish we had done something different, or simply started for home.
ALSO, if you want to be on the bus as short a time as possible, get picked up in Playa del Carmen!

We did the Las coloradas and Rio Lagartos tour but were a bit disappointed with the organisation of the tour.
The stop at las coloradas is meant to be just for one spot to take a few pictures but not to visit the entire area. It's basically to get to the gate. In our case they were extracting salt on the day meaning you couldn't see anything at the gate so we were given the option to go on a bus tour within the salt complex where the pink lagoons are. We had to pay extra for this which i wasn't thrilled about since it wasn't mentioned in the description. The tour inside was nice and explained all the process and why the lagoons ar pink etc so would recommend that but this wasn't given by our tour guide. It was given by the yours at Las Coloradas. On a regular day i don't think you would even get that option and that was the best part.
If you're going to see the flamingos there's very few of them. Like 40 max and they're very far away, bring a good camera.
The boat ride in Rio Lagratos was nice, there's also a mayan body scrub experience so of you're planning on taking part in that bring a bathing suit.
We also visited an alligator farm and it was nice to see that they are repopulating the area. Wasn't keen that the teenage ones had their mouths tied for people to take photos with them. Younger ones don't bite yet it seems and the older ones we saw from a distance.
The drive is very long and very tiring. Obviously this has nothing to do with the tour company but just a heads up.
We didn't have a tour guide to explain things and at times we had to ask what is next so you end up relying on asking people where you stop around what is happening.
On the bright side the bus was comfy and had reclining chairs, they gave us food in the morning since the pickup was at 6 AM and they figured we wouldn't have eaten breakfast.

I think this trip would be best if you were staying in the Yukutan region, otherwise you're looking at a 5 hour drive from Cancun. This was not noted.
We waited approximately 30 minutes for another party to arrive, outside a store, where we told we could use the restrooms...the store manager did NOT let us use the bathroom.
The "breakfast" supplied was a piece of lunch meat and cheese between 2 pieces of white bread, a small apple, a kids' juice box and a piece of gum...definitely not what we expected. Had we known, we would have been sure to eat prior to departure.
While Las Coloradas is beautiful, we would have loved to have someone share some knowledge about how the salt mining works, processing the salt, etc. All it was was a photo opp, which was not worth the drive.
The boat ride was nice, and the restaurant we had lunch in was really great.
The gator farm was also great. We learned a lot about the gators and participated in the experience.
Then we had the 3.5 hour drive back (the boat ride took us closer to our final destination).
In the middle of this, they did stop for a bathroom break, which we had to pay to use.
While the experience was memorable, we would not do this excursion again.

Unfortunately, the most memorable experience was a five hour van ride to the site and the five hour ride back to the hotel. Once we got there, it was quite enjoyable however, this amount of travel was not disclosed, and I felt like my day was wasted. Actually, towards the end, I felt like I was in hell. There were no bathroom break. The seat was cramped and very uncomfortable. There’s no way to make the ride more enjoyable, we were told to sleep is no way to sleep in that van. Low air conditioning and no refreshments frankly no one should have to sit in a vehicle for 12 hours a day I would never recommend this to anyone.
