Thoroughly excellent day trip. All the activities were successful. The Flamingos were fabulous and only 10 feet away from us on multiple occasions. The tour guide, Dolphin, was friendly and helpful. The driver was safe and steady. Both the Boatmen were exellent. The lunch was delicious. In the Mangrove canals we saw two Crocodiles, both very close - less than a foot away from us. We also saw a variety of different birds. Then at the Crocodile sanctuary you could feed the Crocs with a stick only 3 feet long. We had a brilliant day.
We really enjoyed the Rio Lagartos speed boat and the views, we were able to see the crocodiles very closely. The visit to the farm was great, we enjoyed holding the baby crocodile and feeding them. I don't remember the name of the old guy in the farm, but he was very nice and friendly, making everyone feeling comfortable to hold the crocodile. Arturo our guide tour was amazing! He was helpful and explained everything well. The Las Coloradas was not what we expected, very different from the pictures on the website. The trip from Cancun was very lonnng as we had to go to Playa Del Carmen to get the other people to go on the van. Overall a good trip, but extra time to leave the people from Playa Del Carmen first in their hotels. It would be much better to have a van leaving from Cancun straight to Las Coloradas. It was very hot and the air conditioning in the van was not working properly.
Comfortable bus with water and beer included and engaging tour guide Pablo. Pink waters at salt flats were beautiful. River boat ride was relaxing in the breeze and sun...even after a little hitch up on the sand bar viewing the flamingos. Beach stop was quick but refreshing. Lunch restaurant had showers and lively music with delicious fresh seafood. Last stop of crocodile farm was interactive and the staff were very helpful to get us some wonderful photo memories. Long day from pick up at 6:30 am and drop off at 9:45 pm but so worth it!
Superb diversified outing on salt making in a splendid rose. Followed by a boat trip to meet the very diverse flora and fauna. The walk in the crocodile farm 🐊 is exceptional. You can carry baby crocodiles from 3 to 4 years and feed adults accompanied by staff all in the price. The only downside is the length of the journey from Cancun with traffic jams approaching the major cities that we pass through. To do absolutely!
Great day out very well organised..Dolphin our guide was excellent. Would highly recommend..well worth the long day
Pink beach is awesome. Tour guide’s explanation is very nice. He covered everything.. Food is very dry
Very unprofessional.. hour late picking us up , we were the 2nd stop to get picked up and the last to get dropped off @9:30pm. The driver didn’t know where he picked us up from or where to go . & the host was very rude, he was all about money. Don’t recommend sorry
The experience was very good and especially the tour guide was very helpful to take pictures for you.
On the boat ride the crocodile came close to the boat to get some fish from the captain. The pink lake the flamingo it was a true experience . Oh the lunch was delicious. The tour guides were knowledgeable I learned a lot. And my family had a great time
Arturo aka Brad Pitt is the best! He speaks 5 languages. I didn't expect to get the information in French but he was always ready to tell us everything in French. He was answering every question. He took care of all of us. He made sure it was the best experience by bringing the birds to us. He made sure we knew what was coming up and that we all understood. I highly recommend this tour!
