5.00Great tour with the nice guides Abraham & Driver. The hotel pickup worked great, first photo top to Valle de la Luna magical. The lagoon walk over the wooden jetties like from another world. Incredible colors and yet like on Mars. In the big lagoon we could float in the cool salt water, great feeling. Short freshwater fish and then back. Very nice!
Excellent tour

5.00The lagoons were cool, the roads were terrible so I was glad to use my guide’s van instead of my rental car, staff were friendly, and the appetizer spread was adorable. I would not recommend this tour if you speak English because while the guide was friendly, the broken English really missed the mark on the education experience. For this reason, I would honestly do this self guided in the future. Also the posting said swimming wasn’t allowed, but 1 hour before the tour they said to have your bathing suit on and be ready to swim so I had to buy a towel from a street vendor. Also they charged me $12usd + fees for a park pass but looking online it was only $6usd if I bought in my own. They would not let me buy on own ticket.
