What a Treat!

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!

Very long but very fun day!

Nice tour, even though it was an extremely long day! We were picked up from our hotel at 5:55am and got dropped off again at 9:00pm. So it was a super long day! That being said, it was very enjoyable and relaxing more than physical activity. The pink lakes were nice, but my favorite part was the speed boat ride in Rio Lagartos. I loved seeing the flamingos and crocodiles and pelicans! The lunch was also large! The crocodile experience was an unexpected fantastic surprise at the end of the day. My tips for anyone on this tour. Bring lots of drinks and snacks for your time on the bus, since more than half your time will be on the bus. Thankfully the bus itself is very nice and airconditioned though! Bring extra cash for drinks, fees, and tips. I will say, we were only one of two English speaking groups on the tour. Arturo was absolutely amazing at translating for us, but do not expect a lot of hotel zone tourists the whole time! Knowing some spanish would be almost a requirement as some of the people we met only spoke spanish and it would have been harder to enjoy if I couldn't communicate at all. I highly recommend Arturo as a guide and overall enjoyed the tour!

Great sites

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.

Pink Lagoon

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!
