Getting up close to these beautiful birds was an amazing experience. Our guide, Santiago, was excellent. Next to the dock area lives a colony of raccoons. Having never seen these animals before, this was a bonus. The lunch was 3 courses, delicious and in a scenic beachside restaurant. We recommend this tour.
Good Afeternoon Warwick, We are very happy to hear her comment, it makes us very happy to know that theCelestún tour was what she expected. I share your comment with Santiago. Thank you very much for your comments and have a nice day
We were able to enter the mangrove which is clearly extraordinary. This is the real plus of this excursion! The pink flamingos are certainly very beautiful, but they pass for us in the background.

Good afternoon Joselin H, We appreciate your comment and it is a pleasure to know that you liked this tour, thanks for recommending us. It is a pleasure to know that you liked it. Have a great day and thank you very much
The tour was good. Our guide picked us up a few minutes after the scheduled pickup time and drove us to Celestun. The boat ride to see the flamingos was interesting. After the flamingos our guide drove us to a nearby restaurant on the beach and informed us our tour included a fish plate for lunch and if we wanted to eat anything besides the fish we would have to pay for it. It would have been nice if the tour included two different options because two of us on the tour do not like fish. Not a big deal because the prices were cheap, but would have been nice. Overall it was a good day.
