Colibrí Travels is highly recommended… - I really enjoyed the experience… the boat ride is incredible, the service was excellent, and they explained everything wonderfully. The food was delicious and very well served. The beach where they take us to finish the tour is super beautiful, and the water is very nice. On this occasion, we were accompanied by Guide Jorge, who is truly a great addition to the tour; he explains everything very well and makes us laugh, making the tour very enjoyable. I highly recommend it; we will definitely return to do more tours.

A wonderful experience observing birds and at the beach. - A very pleasant, calm, and enjoyable tour. The boat ride through the mangroves was beautiful as we had the opportunity to observe several flamingos in their habitat. The stay at the beach in Sisal was unbeatable, and the grilled fish was very tasty.

The best tour option in Mérida - The tour started on time, the transportation has air conditioning. Raúl is a very friendly guide, which facilitates communication with the group. Celestún is an incredible place to see flamingos in their natural habitat, the trip to the mangroves was exceptional. I have particularly booked other tours in Mérida and everything was excellent.
