Fun and relaxing - We had a super day communing with nature and enjoying time on the beach. The minibus that transported us was clean and surprisingly spacious (we travelled with a lovely family from the US). Our guide Eff was kind and informative and we got close to numerous bird varieties (flamingos aplenty) crocs and fish. Definitely worth the visit.

Excellent Celestun trip - Our trip to Celestun was quite enjoyable. Our guide Alondra was excellent! She knew a lot of information to share with us and provided a comfortable drive to and from Merida as well. We enjoyed the boat ride, the variety of birds and of course, the pink flamingos. Note nature has its own timing. Despite reading we should expect to see hundreds of pink flamingos through Feb. we saw closer to a few dozen on this mid Jan trip. It was enough to still be a wonderful treat just sharing fyi. The time at the beach was fine, the good fish lunch actually better than we expected with clearly freshly caught fish.

Fantastic! - We went for the tour to Celestun. Our guide was Victor, and our driver was Gener. Excellent driver! It was a very smooth ride. They arrived exactly at the time they gave us. The boat tour was lovely. It was exciting and faster than we expected. The flamingoes were lovely! We also were able to interact with raccoons before the boat tour. The beach we went to later was nice. There are TONS of nice seashells, if you want to collect some. Definitely bring water shoes or sandals, because there are literally seashells all over. The lunch was a nice fish dish.

Great holidays - We went to rest, so we enjoyed Merida and Puerto Morelos, we did it to forget about the work and the rush of the city, the tranquility, security and the warm weather we loved

A bit unusual - The information is not clear regarding this excursion, we had four people in our group and while driving there the guide informed us we’d have to pay an extra 1000 paseos since the boat only left with a minimum of six people!!! Or we could wait for two more people to join us, this should have been make clear from the beginning. Also the trip says it EXCLUDES lunch, alcoholic beverages and soda which is unusual but ok we were prepared for this, The guide told us that lunch was included but no beverages, it was a bit confusing! Overall nice trip, friendly people our guide was great, spoke English very well and was super knowledgeable. The website for this excursion needs to be fine tuned and be more transparent. Thank you.

Amazing up close views of the flamingos. - Our guide Alondra was excellent. She was informative and spoke English very well. I’d hire her for any tour any day. Our meal at the beach club was delicious and I enjoyed a chance to swim in the ocean. Warning! Don’t prepay your tip for the guide when you use the company-provided Clip payment platform. Guias de Yucatán management keeps a large portion for themselves. It’s better to tip your guide directly. Especially if they are as good as Alondra!
