What people are saying about Las Coloradas

The tour was very well organized and it was very nice. - the guide, Carlos, was very friendly and he was worried that everyone was good. I particularly liked him because he was calm and not pushy - las coloradas: it is interesting place, the guided there don’t speak English very well, but I asked a lady for an explanation in Spanish and it was nice. It is a cute place for pictures. - los lagartos was super super nice. The boat ride was fun and our boat driver eas the best, gave us explanations and showed us the animals in many perspectives. We saw eagles, pelicanos, two crocodiles (2 different species, and we got really really close to it, it was incredible to be so close in the wild life), flamingos and other birds. - the food was very nice, quite simple but good, and the place looks typical but well assorted. - the transport is a bit long but I believe it is worth the drive. It was comfortable. Also, this tour you are not scammed into gift shops and this tourist traps

Quite a long day of going from Riviera Maya, but so worth it! It was around 3-3.5hrs travelling. So about 6hrs travelling in total. We got taken halfway by one driver then swapped minibuses to join the main tour guide. The tour was only 3 couples, so pretty small and intimate. All parts of the tour were well organised, well timed and well executed. Lunch was fab. The little town we were in was quiet and quaint. The pink lakes were pretty cool, and made for some fab pics. The last stop was a cenote (of course!), the one we went to was quiet, with only a few people and there was a bit of a ledge which meant you could get in without having to go fully in. The cenote was inside a massive natural park type thing, so even if you didn’t want to swim you could walk around and enjoy the scenery/ nature. Would definitely recommend this tour, but do be mindful that it is LONG! If you are making dinner reservations that day, make sure they are late!

Great experience, all information was described in detail and in detail and combined make the trip something very special. Drive (~4 hrs) to Cenote Kikkil and a ranch, wonderful. Time to swim 45 minutes. Then on to the Rio Lagarto, water safari, we took a Mayan bath and saw crocodiles, flamingos and other animal species. Lunch great! Typically Mexican prepared with love. All drinks were included and the guide made every effort to take care of every participant. Continue to Las Coloradas, a salty area with pink lagoons depending on the algae process. There is no shade there, so think of a hat! Super nice experience, super friendly and good transfer.

It was a very beautiful day, we had an exceptional guide, José, who taught us a lot of things, very cultured and passionate about Maya culture and the Rio Lagartos nature reserve. Thanks to him for these explanations and these kind attentions! Lunch was delicious, fresh fish, with drinks included; unlike some other tour operators. The driver was kind enough to drop us off at our hotel on the way back, even though it was a 20min walk from the meeting point; really very nice! And without forgetting the incredible animals we saw, and the beauty of Las Coloradas, an unforgettable day! Again a big thank you

Caring guide, 2 free water, excellent arrangement!
