Excellent tour - Although the tour included a very long bus ride, we throughly enjoyed the pink lakes. Food was good and guides were very professional

Flamingo Tour in Rio Lagartos - We went in a small motor boat to see the flamingos. We also saw alligators, pelicans, many other birds, we had a clay bath and we swam in the Gulf of Mexico. Our guide Jose was very informative and we were able to communicate despite our minimal Spanish. The boat will hold a maximum 6 people and the price you pay is for the boat, regardless of the number of people. We did not book our tour ahead.

Great trip - Great tour guide professional. Enjoyable and great trip. I felt comfortable and safe. I highly recommend this to others

This was an amazing day... - This was an amazing day trip! Very well coordinated and many stops and things to do! Totally worth it! Nonstop but beautiful . We did las coloradas, breathtaking pink salt lakes and then we did Rio Lagartos where we saw crocs, flamingos, pelicans, all right next to our boat. We also had a Mayan mud bath and beach time and the lunch was delicious! Only downside was the ride there cause it took forever from Cancun but it is what it is, that is the time it takes. This was totally worth it and the guides so nice and knowledgeable and very helpful. Best tour we did!!

When they were good they were very, very good and when they were bad...... - This trip had an excellent range of acivities. The lake is genuinely pink, no filters needed, the boat trip was lovely and a great chance to spot the local wildlife, the crocodile farm was very interesting and the crocodiles and black headed vultures very sweet. Our guide Arturo was professional and informative and managed to convey everything to the party in at least four different languages that i heard. Most impressive. So given all this why only 3 stars you ask? Two main issues (one easily solved by taking a few snacks) and the other very major indeed. As a vegetarian, being given a ham sandwich for my lunch box was not great and there doesn't seem to be any way to request another option. There was a salad option for lunch but i found it too salty to eat (apparently the chicken dish was okay). So, if you are picky take your own snacks. However, then there is the thing we could do nothing about and which did its best to ruin our day. Our bus was full and as our connectiin arrived late we were in the back seats. These seats are probably fine for kids up to age 10 but they are not big enough for adults. The four of us in the row couldnt all lean back at once because our shoulders would not fit. My husband and i both ended sitting on sharp edges at the sides of the seats and i still feel bruised today (i have never had trouble fitting in a seat before and luckily everyone else in our row was slender). We were stuck thigh to thigh, literally couldn't move and after three hours felt hideously claustrephobic. I suggest the people arranging these trips get put four across in the back of this bus and driven round for a total of six hours like we were. Most physically uncomfortabke bus ride i have ever been on.

Should be a nature river tour with salt pond. - The pink lakes are nothing but a salt pond. There is only one. It is not very pretty. you want to take it at very special angles to get any beauty. However the boat ride associated with the pink Lakes tour is incredible. Seeing lots of nature and wildlife. Seeing the flamingos, crocodiles, eagles, other birds was awesome. The lunch was fantastic.

Not worth it - Wish I could have skipped this tour especially with spending around 6 hours to get to the las Coloradas and almost 5 hours to get back to Cancun after all the activities makes it not worth it. The pink lake was also quite underwhelming and the boat tour and mud bath were just okay.
