Tour guided name is Pablo. VERY kind and knowledgeable about the attraction. We took great photos with the helps from the local tour guided in the pink lake. Awesome trip.
I was not expecting to have as much fun as we did on this trip! I loved that they gave us a bag with food for us as well as a cooler with drinks, extremely refreshing for the hot weather! We loved seeing Los Coloradas and learning a bit about the salt. We absolutely loved the boat ride and clay at Rio Logartos. The food we had for lunch was extremely delicious as well!
Thank you for your review! It’s always wonderful to hear when guests leave with smiles and special memories. We’re delighted that our Las Coloradas Tour was a highlight of your travels and that our team made you feel welcome. We look forward to your return and to making more unforgettable moments together!
Van ride was 3 hours x 2 with no air conditioning. There was a metal spike sticking up in the van that stabbed my pants and leg. My mom fell and required stitches. However, the tour guide, Dolphino was great and helpful.

Loved the crocodile farm and the boat trip. Need a guide that gives more information. 3 - 4 hours on a bus is a long journey and it would have been nice to receive some facts about the area
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We’re thrilled you had a good experience, and your 4-star rating encourages us to keep striving for excellence. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to exceed your expectations on your next visit. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
The Pink waters, Rio Lagartos, Crocodile farm, and lunch was very nice but the transportation to and from Las Coloradas was not good & that is why we give it only 2 stars. The touring company crammed 18 people into a small 14 person van and a car for the 3 & a half hour drive to Las Coloradas. We made one stop along the way for a bathroom break, that bathroom break was a spot that required payment to use the bathroom, it would have been helpful to let people know ahead of time that the stop would require payment. Then the drive back to the resorts took an extra 2 hours, again in a crammed van, to drop off people who were in the car. The van did not need to travel the extra 2 hours and could have gone straight back to the resorts, to drop people off. That long of a drive in both directions should have been done in a tour bus with better accommodations for the travelers, i.e. more leg room, comfortable seats, an actual bathroom, etc. The boat ride included time to "enjoy an exfoliating scrub with clay from the salt lake" and a swim, but emailed instructions didn't include a suggestion to bring a swimming suit. We actually thought we chose a different excursion, so we didn't bring one to our disappointment.
We’re very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We take all feedback seriously and are committed to improving our services. Please contact us to discuss what happened, as we’d like to make amends and ensure a better experience in the future.
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.
Thank you for your review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed your experience and appreciate your thoughtful feedback. It’s always our goal to provide the best possible service, and we’ll use your insights to keep improving. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience next time!

An attraction VERY worth visiting and you You will never be disappointed,During my 4-day holiday trip,I have ordered a total of three different tour groups on the Viator website, and this is the only one I am very satisfied with.
Hello Jasmine! We are glad to hear that you found the attraction to be very worth visiting and that you were highly satisfied with the tour group you booked through our website during your 4-day holiday trip. Your positive feedback is greatly appreciated, and we strive to continue providing excellent service to enhance your future travel experiences. Best regards!
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 :)
Hi Debora, We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience at the Pink Lake and had a great day exploring the area. Safe travels, and thank you for sharing your positive experience! 🌺
We never got picked up and the contact poorly communicated with us. Ended up g tying refunded hope to go another time
Hello Jasmin, Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, on the day of your activity, due to weather conditions beyond our control, the port was closed and the tour had to be cancelled. A refund was sent to you due to this situation. We hope that in the future you will be able to do the activity with us. Thank you for your understanding.
