Good trip - Good trip~ The bus ride was so long that it was difficult for the children, but all the children had a good experience.

Amazing pink lakes, birdwatching from boat, crocodiles on shoulders… - Most memorable was the boat ride through the national park, watching pelicans and flamingos. Pink lakes were also magic and photogenic. Funny part was the maya’s mud bath and holding and feeding the crocodiles:-) If only our guides spoke better English, though they were friendly and helpful. In general great trip, we really enjoyed it.

Las Coloradas, Rio... - Las Coloradas, Rio Lagartos and crocodile farm were all an incredible experience! It was lovely to see the pink lake and so many interesting animals on the boat trip! Holding and feeding crocodiles was amazing, too! The only downside was the long journey there and back with poor air conditioning. But it was still worth it. This tour is a must for photographers!

Great tour but long ride - The trip had a lot of great elements but I did think that the van and the bagged lunch could have been better.

Never book this tour!... - Never book this tour! It‘s an irresponsible tour and they cheated. They never send you a notification to change the pickup time so me and my kids missed the tour the whole day and they just return the partial refund. They are such liars, never book this tour!!!

Don’t book - Unexpected water outage at hotel and had to move suddenly. Tour company did not accommodate resolution and lost my money. Rented a car and drove myself there and it was $30 to rent the car and got a private guide when I arrived at the park. Would not recommend this company to book anything because they take your money quick but when you have unforeseen Circumstances they don’t seem as helpful.
