Great trip for families... Awesome Adventure! - This trip is excellent for families and perfectly planned, even when "shared", it provides so much fun. David is an excellent tour guide. We were a family of four on small group, people from all over the world. Pro-tip for your adventure kit: Bring comfy shoes for exploring the pink lake, then swimwear for the boat safari, and fresh outfit for the victory feast and ride home!

Surreal Pink Lakes and Amazing Wildlife! - What a surreal and vibrant tour! The pink lakes are tryly an unbelievable sight. Our guide Miguel made the local salt process a fascinating story. The highlight was the water safari through Rio Lagartos, seeing crocodiles, beautiful birds and those amazing flamingos up close. A fantastic trip!

Pink Lakes with my best friends... EPIC!!! - Imagine this for a perfect day: Your boat driver is making you laugh while pointing out incredible, wild flamingos. You're gliding through the mandroves of Rio Lagartos, spotting crocodiles in their natural habitat. Next, you're standing beside a lake that's a shocking shade of pink, taking the most surreal photos of your life. The whole time, you're traveling comfy with your group of best friends and a fresh seafood lunch is all taken care of. THAT WAS OUR DAY! An unforgettable adventure!

Just like we saw on Youtube! - We booked this tour after watching a video on Youtube and it was exactly what we expected... Maybe even better. The place is legit, no doubt. We got some of the best pics from our whole trip. Our guide Miguel was awesome and super helpful. Definitely worth it, don't skip this one!

Worth Every Mile - Traveling all the way from abroad, we figured a bit more distance for this experience was totally worth it. Every stop amazed us. From the vibrant colors of Las Coloradas to the peaceful vibe in Rio Lagartos. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. Special thanks to Carlos, our charismatic guide!

One for the bucket list! - I'm a solo nomad woman and had this saved for over a year. Finally went for it and sincerely, Ive never seen anything like that pink paradise. The boat ride, all fauna (flamingos, crocodiles, raccoons, pelicans), the clay bath and the beach stop were pure magic. Miguel was the best guide. Advise: Don't try doing this on your own, you'd need three buses. This experience is only for those who truly want it. Bring snacks and pesos. A totally GO!

Adventure Worth the Ride! - More than just a tourist thing, it's honestly and adventure... and we loved it! The drive to Rio Lagartos and Las Coloradas is definitely long, but it's worth it. The pink waters are real, and the boat ride totally stole the show. If you're up for something different, don't skip this one!

Las Coloradas plus Rio Lagartos - Nature, Crocs and Lake Swim! - We had such a fun and unforgettable day! Marcelino, our guide, was full of energy and made everyone feel welcome right away. He kept things flowing, made us laugh and really knew how to keep the group engaged. Seeing crocs up close was insane. I necer thought I'd actually touch one! They made sure we had cold water all day, which was amazing under the sun. And splashing in Rio Lagartos lake was exactly what we needed to end the day. I've already told friends and family about this tour. Tourballoon absolutely nailed it. I'm booking with them for sure!
