Get ready to embark on a journey that will take you to locations of other times and what seems like another world.

Discover the unrivaled pink tone of Lake Las Coloradas and the perfect contrast that the Lagartos River gives you with the beautiful flamingos on this day trip. We'll pick you up from your hotel door.

Las Coloradas its spectacular pink color is due to its high concentration of salt, microorganisms, and the sun. The intensity of the color varies depending on the position of the sun's rays, allowing us to admire a range of colors ranging from yellow and orange to pink that characterizes it.

Important information: From July 19 to August 19, 2023, due to the beginning of the salt harvest, the pink tone of Las Coloradas is much lower and you will not be able to appreciate the characteristic color of this area. We thank you for your understanding

Van ride was 3 hours x 2 with no air conditioning. There was a metal spike sticking up in the van that stabbed my pants and leg. My mom fell and required stitches. However, the tour guide, Dolphino was great and helpful.

Loved the crocodile farm and the boat trip. Need a guide that gives more information. 3 - 4 hours on a bus is a long journey and it would have been nice to receive some facts about the area

The Pink waters, Rio Lagartos, Crocodile farm, and lunch was very nice but the transportation to and from Las Coloradas was not good & that is why we give it only 2 stars. The touring company crammed 18 people into a small 14 person van and a car for the 3 & a half hour drive to Las Coloradas. We made one stop along the way for a bathroom break, that bathroom break was a spot that required payment to use the bathroom, it would have been helpful to let people know ahead of time that the stop would require payment. Then the drive back to the resorts took an extra 2 hours, again in a crammed van, to drop off people who were in the car. The van did not need to travel the extra 2 hours and could have gone straight back to the resorts, to drop people off. That long of a drive in both directions should have been done in a tour bus with better accommodations for the travelers, i.e. more leg room, comfortable seats, an actual bathroom, etc. The boat ride included time to "enjoy an exfoliating scrub with clay from the salt lake" and a swim, but emailed instructions didn't include a suggestion to bring a swimming suit. We actually thought we chose a different excursion, so we didn't bring one to our disappointment.

The lake was definitely pink! The boat ride was nice but would like to have seen more animals. The crocodile farm was good. Had fun feeding and holding the different sized crocs. However it was almost too long of a day.

Pink lake was great, but there were over 40 "lakes" to visit however this tour included other pitstops so we were focused on the closer lakes. if you want a 1/2 day trip of just all the lakes you will want to drive yourself there and then take the tour offered by the Pink Lake crew (las coloradas). As a first intro, it was great, the boat ride was fabulous, and we really just had a great day. Hope you will too :)

Overall, excellent tour. Yes it was a long day, and yes the bus got cold. Our tour director Pablo was excellent and learned all the groups of people who were traveling my name and gave all information in both Spanish and English. Research the pink lakes before you come, some people didn’t realize it was a salt factory and were disappointed. I recommend wearing your swimsuit to the tour so you don’t need to change for the boat ride, which I loved! Breakfast and lunch provided a lot of food, but I do recommend bringing extra water and snacks.
The ONLY downside to this tour was the crocodile farm we stopped at as our third activity. It was a small facility that seems to exist only to fascinate tourists. Everyone got to hold several croc babies and the workers were just throwing them all over people’s shoulders nonstop. We went into the croc enclosure to feed them, and several workers waggled sticks in front of the crocs to entice them to move. As a animal lover, it was hard to watch. I may have booked a different tour if I knew we would stop at the croc version of Tiger King. I wish we had done something different, or simply started for home.
ALSO, if you want to be on the bus as short a time as possible, get picked up in Playa del Carmen!
