From start to finish, this tour was spectacular! In addition to marveling at the landscape and the flamingos, the clear and timely communication with Luisa from the moment of booking, the impeccable coordination of transportation and schedules, and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guide came together to make us live a very pleasant experience. I recommend it 100%

I have been amazed by the visit to this beautiful place where the flamingos are in their natural habitat, you cannot miss the boat ride to admire this beautiful nature, in addition to the walk through the mangroves where I was incredulous to see crocodiles and I was surprised, It is beautiful, the boats are very clean, the people are very friendly. The beach is a mega pool of transparent water and white sand, it is beautiful.

A really good day out from Merida. The organisation was perfect. Gabriel, our guide, was punctual, friendly and very knowlegeable. The car was very nice, clean and comfortable.
The boat trip was excellent and we saw many species of birds as well as the flamingos. Beware of the racoons around the booking office - they have obviously learnt that human beings bring food! They have sharp claws - the scratches on my leg attest to that!
After the boat ride, we went to the beach in Celestun and Gabriel took us for a ride around the town and the harbour. It was a lovely beach but much too hot for us at midday. Lovely to see the places though.
Thank you to Gabriel and Travelezza for a memorable day.

The private tour with Travelezza was wonderful. The Flaingo tour is a must do while in Merida. It was amazing.
Our tour guide Blanca was a gem of a person. Extremely knowledgeable about everything Yucatan, as well as humorous and caring. We talked on a variety of topics. Conversation with her was like talking to a local friend. She made us feel totally at home and comfortable. Luisa, the hidden boss, went out of her way to accommodate our small requests and was very nice in the few mails that we exchanged. Special mention for Israeel, our driver.
We should have chosen this tour company for our other Merida day tours also.

We have been talking about taking this tour for a couple of years. Our schedule finally aligned with the best time of year to see these gorgeous flamingos, so we immediately booked with Travelezza for our private tour!

Our tour guide, Senora Blanca and our driver Israel were phenomenal. Senora Blanca provided us with a rich history of the Yucatan. We learned so much about the beautiful state. And although it was a couple of hours from our hotel to the city of Celestun to see the flamingos, time just flew. And Israel made sure our journey to and from was safe.

This is a 7-hour tour where you will experience the breathtaking sights and sounds of flamingos and other wildlife. We also went through the beautiful mangrove tunnel…a must see. After you slightly recover from the “shock and awe” of the flamingos and other wild life, you can lunch at the fun and relaxing La Palapa Restaurant and Snack Bar. We had a fabulous meal as we continued to talk about our experience with seeing thousands of flamingos. All we can say is that this excursion is something you need to add to your bucket list. It is an incredible experience you will always remember.

I encourage you to check out their website for vital details, location pickup, pricing, best time of year to maximize your experience, dress code and any other valuable information. Lunch not included in the price. Tips always welcome.

10-star all the way!

Most memorable was observing the hundreds of pink flamingos. I watched them feed, fly in formation, "walk on water" & move in unison as the boats got closer & closer to the gathering.

Seeing the flamingos was amazing!! A highlight of our trip to the Yucatan. Our guide, Cesar, was so personable and welcoming and we instantly felt like friends. Travelezza and Luisa in particular are the best - extremely responsive, helpful, organized and hard working to ensure your experience is simply the best. I would highly recommend them!!!

This was an amazing tour. The lake was covered in flamingos - apparently there over 15,000 flamingos chattering away. It was truly spectacular. We also went through the mangroves and saw some crocodiles, cormorants, a spoonbill, herons and kingfishers! The lunch on Celestun beach was superb - great food and view. Blanca our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and provided a great historical overview of Mayan culture. Israel our driver was fantastic too. Thanks very much for a wonderful day.

What a fantastic experience! Our guide, Ale, and driver, Israel, were amazing. They were attentive to every detail and we learned so much about the biota of Celestun. We are vegetarian and pescatarian and Ale jumped right in at the restaurant and helped us order food that wasn't even on the menu. Our boat driver, Rafael, was great and made sure we saw all the best spots for wildlife and allowed us to hang out as long as we needed for photos. I'd say this is a once in a lifetime experience but we will definitely be back again! We have already referred this tour to a friend that is visiting Merida.
