Top experience! - I'm not sure if this was the operator we did the tour with. What I do know is that we had a fantastic excursion on the water in the mangroves of Rio Lagartos. Because what a wonderful experience we have gained after the impressive boat tour with our guide Nacho, who proudly told us a lot about the beautiful flora and fauna in this area. Saw many different birds, including many beautiful flamingos. Had an explanation about the ins and outs of the mangrove. Also got to spot a large crocodile. We were allowed to take a (Mayan) mud bath, which we were able to swim off a little further. And on the way back an unforgettable sunset. Top experience!

Great discovery with our captain Manolo - We would like to thank our captain and tour guide Manolo, very passionate about his region! He was an accomplished guide who introduced us to the ecosystem that develops along the coasts to protect tropical areas. We had an incredible excursion where we saw many species of birds and crocodiles, all accompanied by explanations to better discover this magnificent reserve! He also shows us Las Coloradas where we can see the orange-pink shrimp pools where the pink flamingos gather! Followed by a Mayan mud bath and a magnificent pristine beach with crystal clear waters to cleanse yourself on! All that, with a boat trip to really see the small town of Rio Lagartos, the tour was complete, I loved it from start to finish! I highly recommend it, it was more than perfect!! Incredible tour to discover this magnificent reserve! A big thank you for the generosity and good humor of our guide!!! This memory will remain engraved in our memory forever!

Very good tour with a lot of nature - It was a really nice tour. We've seen a good number of animals, including flamingos, crocodiles, hawks, prehistoric crab's, etc. Henry was a very pleasant guy, made a tour with a good pace, gave us enough time for everyone we wanted and also had a nice swim in the gulf of Mexico.

Successful morning - The guide was very friendly but could only speak Spanish. He took a lot of time to show and everything and explained a lot to us, even if we did not always understand everything 100%. We have seen two cocodiles, flamingos and many birds. Also we were told a lot about the trees that grow there. We could park our car there on the road. All in all a successful morning😊

Fun, would do it again - Manuel Pat was a good guide, answering questions and making sure we were ready to move on each time. We felt safe. Phone support listed on the website communicated well (spoke good English) and were helpful. If you make reservations, ignore all the people waving you down before you reach the meeting place.
