Reviews
We were picked up pretty early which I understand since it is a long drive. We were given a standard bagged breakfast of ham and cheese sandwich, apple, granola bar, and fruit juice which was okay. Then we sat on the bus while the driver and the tour guide got off and ate breakfast themselves at a cafe while we waited. I thought this was very unprofessional.
It turns out the pink lagoon is a business. It is a natural salt manufacturing plant that, yes, is located in a biosphere but the advertising of it seems misleading. You pay to see a salt plant. It is more of a pink pit not a lagoon. This was very disappointing.
They do take you on a boat ride which is nice since you do get to see flamingoes in their natural environment which is pretty awesome and this part of the experience was wonderful. 5 stars for this.
The lunch at the restaurant was also 5 stars. Some of the best seafood I have had.
The alligator farm was "okay". Pretty much like most alligators farms you go to. Neither extremely bad nor outstanding.
I wish there would have been a little more talk about the biosphere. They did talk a bit about how the lagoon got its pink color. I would have liked a little more history about the salt gathering before some rich guy took it over.
