Tour Options
Itinerary
Río Lagartos is one of the natural jewels of the Yucatan Peninsula. Here we will enjoy a boat ride through its channels surrounded by mangroves, where you can see different species of birds. During the tour we will pass under the Las Coloradas bridge to reach the salt deposits, where different bodies of water can be seen, some of them a striking pink color. Next, we can enjoy a Mayan Bath and cover our bodies with clay full of nutrients. Then we will go to a virgin beach to wash off the mud in its crystal clear waters.
We will enter the Parque de las Coloradas. A pink wonder where you can take the iconic photographs.
After the Mayan bath, cool off on a virgin beach.

A small walk between the lakes of Las Coloradas, a fun boat trip among the crocodiles, ended with a mud bath
Where do I start??? It was absolutely amazing day thanks to Enrique (I called him Enrique Iglesias he would know 😉) and Daniel our driver. First stop in small town Temozon. The church was nice. Then we went to Las Coloradas and wow how amazing place. We were lucky because of the water was really deep pink colour. Then we went to Rio Lagartos. That was 100% perfect experience. Crocodiles, pelicans, flamingos... just out of this world. The boat ride was great and Mayan bath amazing still have beautifully set skin from it. And then lunch in authentic Mexican restaurant. I had seviche and it was delicious. Fresh and perfectly prepared. Then back to hotel. Seriously Enrique and Daniel were fantastic and I can't thanks them enough for beautiful day like that.
The guide is the ostia. Give a lot of knowledge and very friendly, amazing food and good Mood, good spot I don't want to get to 100 characters mandatory what is this
Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste tanto la experiencia, que Darién compartiera su conocimiento con amabilidad y que la comida y el ambiente fueran de tu agrado. ¡Esperamos verte pronto en otra aventura igual de increíble!
Did not disappoint!.. Bus was clean and huge. Our tour guide, Darrien was great with English-speaking tourists like me. He made sure to translate or even spoke English first then translate to Spanish. We were passed on to local guide at Rio Lagartos who made sure we had every best views and explanation of the place. We were passed on to another guide and boat captain, Cristobal who was very nice and knowledgeable. We saw and did everything as promised— Mayan bath, flamingos and swim time. We ended this tour in a very nice local restaurant with nice servers and had the largest serving of Ceviche I ever had!
We’re thrilled to hear that the tour met your expectations. It’s great that you enjoyed the comfortable bus and that Darrien provided excellent guidance, making sure everyone could follow along in English and Spanish. We’re also glad our local guides at Río Lagartos and Cristobal made the experience memorable with their knowledge and kindness. It sounds like you had a fantastic time with the Mayan bath, flamingos, swimming, and a delicious ending at the local restaurant with that amazing ceviche! We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon.
Comfy bus! Great guides! Overall great day and experience! Definitely recommend doing this tour! Long day but worth it.
We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the comfy bus, great guides, and overall experience. It’s true it’s a long day, but definitely worth every moment. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another amazing tour!
The tour was alright - the guide was very professional and engaging. It was unfortunate that they are not able to pick up at hotels but the meeting point was fine. The tour of Coloradas is a little strange - pretty pink water but it's really just a salt factory. It's just kind of odd that it's a tourist attraction at all. But pink water is a novelty and it made for some nice photos. Rio Lagartos was a great boat tour. I highly recommend bringing your swimming clothes and doing the clay 'Mayan Bath'. Unfortunately our boat guide didn't speak much english so we didn't get a chance to talk about the animals we were seeing along the way. Honestly I would have rated this much higher but unfortunately the very end of the tour ruined the entire experience. Some of us were transferred into another van to go back to the pick up point with a different driver. I got out at this point and went to order an Uber. The driver asked where I was going and when I showed him the address of the hotel he said that he could take me and to get back in. I didn't think twice about this as I've been on other tours where the pick up is central but then they drop off at hotels directly. When we arrived at the hotel he very aggressively demanded a tip. He actually made me quite nervous. No bueno.

We do apologize for the inconvenience you experienced at the end of the tour.

Great trip but a very long day. We loved the mud bath and the pink sand. Food was just ok. But the people were very attentive. Carlos and Jose were great tour guides.

Jose and Carlos were excellent tour guides. The bus was clean, spacious and comfortable. Both experiences were enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was just ok. The servers were very attentive at the restaurant. We loved the pink beach and the places to take cool pictures. The Mayan Mud bath was also fun. This is a super adventure, but be prepared for a very long day. It is five hours each way on the bus.
