Review of the Las Coloradas and Rio Lagartos tour from Cancun, with pink lagoons, flamingos, crocodiles, lunch, costs, and practical advice.

“It was one of the best experiences of our life. The tour was unique and I dont think you can find something else like that. We visited the pink lagoon in las coloradas and they explained us everything about the process. Than we took the boat (it was like a speedboat for 6 people) and we went seeing the crocodile and the flamingos, we were so close! Then we had a mud bath, a very good lunch at the restaurant and eventually we visited the crocodile farm and we got the opportunity to hold small crocodiles! I recommend this tour 100%, it was absolutely magical, and the guide Archie was…”

Review of the Las Coloradas and Río Lagartos tour from Cancun, with pink lakes, flamingos, crocodiles, Mayan mud, lunch, costs, and practical tips.

“Very good tour apart from pick up and drop off. The main guide (Artouro) was amazing. Speaking more languages than the average European, pleasant and super helpful. The second guide was horrible. I don't remember his name, but he was the one responsible of picking up and dropping off people at Cancun. Artouro joined us at Playa del Carmen and also got off before reaching Cancun. I was picked up with almost 30 minutes delay from Casa Maya Hotel. The tour lasted nearly 16 hours. On our way back to Cancun and after Artouro left, the other travel guide asked me to get off elsewhere and board another bus of…”

Review of the 12-hour Las Coloradas and Río Lagartos tour from Cancun, with pink salt lakes, flamingos, crocodiles, lunch, and a mud bath.

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $714

See Chichen Itza, Cenote Ik Kil, Las Coloradas, and Rio Lagartos in one long private day from Cancun with lunch and hotel pickup.

“This tour was great. It was private so we didn't have to wait in other people and we were free to ask our guide any questions we had. My only advice is to know this is a LONG day - most of it spent driving. Also, the cenote we went to was super crowded (we went on a Sunday). Not very fun when you can't get in or out of the water and there are screaming children surrounding you. But the food at the lunch buffet was excellent. Our tour guide was amazing. Our boat driver fed a crocodile in front of us which was super cool. But the lake…”

Review of the 12-hour Las Coloradas and Rio Lagartos tour from Cancun, with pink lagoons, flamingos, boat rides, meals, costs, and practical tips.

“The boat ride through the mangrove trees to the Gulf of Mexico was the highlight of our trip. The guide was helpful and tried their best to make our experience memorable. The 3 stars are for that. Everything else was bad. The day before our experience, we were told our pickup would be at 6.10AM and we were asked to wait in the hotel lobby. We got to the lobby at 6.05. At 6.10 or so got a text to walk out of the lobby and wait for white bus. Which we did. Nobody came and a few mins later, got a text that we missed pickup because we weren’t…”
