It's a long journey from Tulum but it was worth seeing the river long and looking for the crocodiles Where they house flamingos don't look like they're from this world

We have had an excellent experience in the mangrove tour of Rio Lagartos and Las Coloradas, which has exceeded all our expectations. Cristian, our guide, and his companion (whose name I regretfully do not remember) have been extremely attentive and professional throughout. They worried a lot when my wife was unwell before the tour and we were about to cancel. They kept an eye on her constantly and made sure she was comfortable, which we greatly appreciate. The tour itself has been 10. We were taught a great variety of fauna from the area and had the privilege of seeing crocodiles and flamingos very closely, an unforgettable experience. We are very grateful for this opportunity and leave with a fantastic memory. If you are looking for a boat tour, do not hesitate, they are the best option. Thank you very much.

Today was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I’m from France and I’ve traveled many places, but what I’ve experienced today at Rio Lagartos has just fascinated me. From the beginning of the excursion, everything was extraordinary. We have seen a wide variety of animals in their natural habitat, such as crocodiles, many species of herons, pelicans, cormorants and much more, something other tourist operators don’t even include in their itinerary, because they don’t stop anywhere and pass very quickly by boat. Here they really take the time to do it, and it makes all the difference. I swam in a spectacular cenote, an absolutely magical experience, then we visited the famous pink lagoons of Las Coloradas, even more impressive in reality. We also had the opportunity to swim on a pristine beach, totally peaceful and beautiful, and even swim with natural clay, something I had never done before. A very important point to mention is that in this area there is a fee of MXN 3,100 per group that is not included in the tour. However, honestly, after experiencing all this... it’s very affordable for such a complete and authentic experience. In addition, this tour took us to more distant places where we could see a lot of flamingos 🦩. We were alone for much of the route, which made the experience even more special, something other tours don’t offer, because they don’t make those particular stops. Today I came only with my husband ❤️, but I definitely want to come back with my whole family. The price is very good compared to other companies, but what is most valuable is the unique experience that we have. Rio Lagartos... I will definitely come back!!! Thank you very much Brandon and Cristian for making this day so special! I'm sending you a warm embrace! Juliette and Alexander
