Went alone since I was visiting for work, i got some sleep during the ride ando it didn't feel that long The boat ride was amazing, our guide took us to the best spots in Rio Lagartos! Bunch of flamingos and a couple crocodiles At Las Coloradas it was more of a sight to see while walking around listening to the guide We finished with a crocodile farm that I did not expect
Thank you for sharing this experience with us We'll take notes to keep improving!
Picking up people from hotels lasted 3 hours, the actual drive to pink lake is another 3 hours. The boat ride was ruined by the rain, we were all drenched and cold. Need to bring a rain coat. The lunch is not enough food.
This tour is advertised as shared, and the pick up for other travelers does not last anywhere near 3 hours The food is served in hefty portions due to the long lasting nature of the tour The rain was a sudden issue that we did not have any control over
