Amazing sites and very knowledgeable guides. Laguna Rosada is very pretty and get to go up to a viewpoint of the whole site. Rio Lagartos you get to cruise on a speed boat and see wild flamingos, crocodiles, pelicans fly up to the boat, and many more wild animals. Tasty and filling authentic lunch at oldest restaurant in town. Crocodile farm was crazy, being able to feed and take pictures right up next to the crocodiles. Every guide was nice and friendly and spoke good English!

It was long trip to get to the pink lake, Omar was the best travel guide! He knows how to make the road trip safe and fun
Pink lake was pretty
And boat riding was great!
Saw too many crocodiles!
It was almost 11 hours of trip, but not boring at all!

Tour operator was very passionate about the things we were going to see and did a great job communicating. I really enjoyed visiting the PInk Lakes and felt that it was a one of a kind scenery. Really cool seeing the pink flamingos in the wild, but wished we could have gotten closer. Otherwise, a very good experience.

Where do I start with this review… completely car crash of a tour.
- told pick up time was 5:55am to which the driver turned up at 6:15am
- told us the travel time (which is stated in the tour description) was 3 hours to first stop, took 6 and a half hours, as the tour bus driver and tour guide decided to pick up random people on route and drop them to another location before making our journey.
- tour guide allowed vendors enter the coach to try and sell plastic phone cases to people onboard.
- served a “breakfast box” which was in fact a tiny ham sandwich with a piece of chewing gum…
- tour guide made no interaction with everyone onboard, all he done was speak mostly in Spanish and anyone from
Middle of coach back couldn’t hear anything.
- told us we had to pay a Federal Tax as soon as we walked on the coach, and then advised I was only able to pay by cash or with a physical bank card which we didn’t have present. (So agreed to pay once back at the hotel at the end of the tour) this should be included in the price anyway ??♂️
- our “lunch” was at 3:30pm-4pm as clearly the tour was running behind schedule, so no food available until then.
- when arriving to the boat tour with crocodiles in water, they had no life jacket for my son, as they stated it wasn’t needed which I found hilarious…
- arrived to the crocodile sanction where they only spoke Spanish language, so no idea what they where saying the whole time.
- then for another 5 hour drive back to our hotel, luckily our hotel was the first drop off point back.
We then get on to paying the Federal Tax, which the tour guide followed and waited at my reception, once I grabbed my bank card and returned to the lobby, he told me it was €19 per person, which is incorrect as they advertise it being €16 per person, and then once paid he took a photo of my bank card without my consent, and told me this was proof of ID??? A picture of my bank card….. when I asked him what the hell he was doing, he then showed me pictures of other peoples bank cards explaining it was for ID purposes, I have since rang my bank and cancelled this card so these fraudsters can’t try and use my card.
Also note when contacting this agency through trip adviser, they message back in very rude manors and are not interested in helping (have plenty of screens shots available).
Please note this was all with a 4 year which they took no duty of care.

Great tour with Arturo and David. Arturo did an outstanding job translating for our travel group on the bus made up of Spanish, English, French and even some Portuguese! He made everyone comfortable and explained the days activities clearly. Like others have mentioned bring snacks and drinks as this is an all day even from 6am-10pm so the schedule is tight. The water was pink and beautiful. The sun is grueling so be sure to wear spf, hat, and sunglasses. Wear clothes that are fast drying to alleviate the time needed to change if you swim in the lake. Have spare cash for port fees and tips. Be prepared for towels as none will be provided. The restaurant they take you to serves a great meal and they take your order in advance to alleviate a long wait. You will pay for your drinks as those are not included. Overall, I highly recommend the trip and think it’s a must see if discovering the magic of Mexico!

Los Colorados is not quite pink, more like a dirty orange lake.This was not very interesting as a tour spot, truly. Rios Lagartos is a small charming town but our tour was too short and advertised as 2hours in the boat tour for flamingos.Got maybe an hour/ 20 mins or so.Lunch was good, grilled fish with salsa.Breakfast was pitiful, with only a cheap sandwich of Bimbo bread and sliced meat.The mud bath was fun but didnt have the baby butt softness of skin effect as touted by the tour guide.CELESTUN in season was far more spectacular for flamingos and much longer boat ride.

We waited a while for our transportation to the tour to pick us up. Then once it arrived, the van that we traveled in was very crammed for the number of people that attended and it was very uncomfortable to be in for the many hrs we were in it, that’s why i took a point off but overall the tour itself was great. I enjoyed the sites that we visited. And our guide Jose was great.

I give 4 starts because the bus was FREEZING! I asked our tour guide to turn the air up a few times and he did. But eventually turned it back down! The ride from where we stayed ended up being 5 hours there and 6 back! My fingers were numb and I couldn’t feel my breast. Overall, the excursion. Was fun! The pics are deceiving, no one is really touching the pink water! If you book this excursion, TAKE A BLANKET, a towel or something!! & a change of clothes because the wet clothes were very uncomfortable for that long period of time! Eat before you go or you will not eat until lunch time which was about 3o clock!

I was a bit skeptical about booking this tour since there was only 1 review but I must say this tour ended up being the best tour I have taken in Mexico. The 3-hour drive was comfortable in an air-conditioned bus with around 50 people. Our driver was great and our guide Toledo did an amazing job. 1st stop was at Los colorados where we took some amazing pics, then we headed to rio lagartos to see the flamingos. Following that we made a quick stop to use the Mayan clay, which was optional, then we swam in the gulf of Mexico to rinse off. Lunch was provided shortly after and to add icing to the cake I got to feed a crocodile! This was one of the best tours and everything was executed efficiently and on time. I will definitely recommend this tour to family and friends!
