Full of unforgettable moments in Las Coloradas! - We are a family with three teen girls, one of them was on her birthday, and she suggested we do this activity. Even for us, coming to the beaches of Cancun was amazing. We were very eager to get to know Cancun and its magical surroundings, aside from the nights on Holbox Island with the spectacular "bioluminescence" of the sea. Las Coloradas and Chichen Itza were our all-time favorite tours. Thanks to all the staff of Tourballoon Travel for making our experiences memorable. We are left with unforgettable memories. Thanks to our guide, Lilly, she's the best!

UNFORGETTABLELY WONDERFUL! - It was great !!. I'm still laughing to myself at how great it was! Our guide, Oscar, has the highest rating. The food was exquisite, the tour itself was wonderful. We saw many animals and birds. We were right there with the crocodiles in the water and we saw many flamingos just meters away from us! The crocodile farm was an unforgettable experience for me! Don Martín and Mrs. Elmy explained everything about the crocodiles. I'm happy! A GREAT TOUR! :D

Clay shower and Pinky landscapes! - Completely astonishing adventure! It exceeded our expectations. The before, during and after activities were always attractive. I loved the clay part at Las Coloradas, of course, all pinky colors like taken from a Barbie movie. I brought a "sombrero de palma" and it was so useful for the sun. We ended tired but would make it one more time with our families if possible. We recommend it!

Like in a sci-fi movie, Las Coloradas is Jaw-dropping! - This was the second activity we did with this agency, they were so nice with us on everything. I recommend this tour for those who really want to get disconnected from the every day's monotony, technology, news, etc. Las Coloradas is a place taken from a sci-fi movie! I have never seen pink waters in my life, adding to this the fact that there were "pink flamingos" it went jaw dropping. Definitely a tour you must put on your list when visiting Cancun!

The most beautiful and perfect trip! - Don't be late for pick up. They pick u up from hotel, but you will have to get on a bigger bus for the tours at a stop point. Bring extra peso for the tax charge, 480 pesos. On a day this this, sunny and cloudy with the perfect weather, the visit was breath taking! Never thought I would see a pink lake but wow really was that beautiful! Also, these tour guides at the las coloradas sites really know how to take pictures! Dang they knew how to work the camera for the insta! Please tip them if you can they derserve it! The boat ride ro wild flamingos and wild crocs are cool too. Again, the beautiful sunny day made everything so much more lovely!

Flamingos in a pink lagoon! something else? - Deep in the Mayan jungle, our Yucatan adventure was unforgettable! Our guide, Daniel, wasn't "your average leader". He was a jungle explorer with infectious energy. Daniel unlocked the jungle's secrets (flamingos included!), but his true magic was his enthusiasm. Every turn became a thrilling discovery. This wasn't a sightseeing, it was immersion! We met flamingos in a pink lagoon (seriously wow!), cruised mangroves by boat, and even embraced our inner mud monsters (trust us, it's a blast!). Unforgettable Mexican adventure? This tour is the right thing! Something you shouldn't miss, you won't regret it!

Pink Lagoon, Flamingos & Fun with Superstar Guide Daniel! - Just got back from this epic tour to Coloradas and Rio Lagartos. Our guide Daniel, was seriously the best. He knew everything there was to know about the place, from the crazy pink lakes (thanks, tiny organisms!) to the coolest birds we spotted. He wasn't just a walking encyclopedia though; he was super friendly and made the whole trip a hit. Seeing those flamingos in the wild was unreal, and the boat ride through the mangroves was like something out of a movie. We even got to take a mud bath, which sounds weird, but trust me, it was awesome! If you're looking for a fun and informative way to see this part of Mexico, this tour is the way to go. Especially if you can snag Daniel as your guide. That guy's a legend and the guys from the agency were superb! Seriously, can't recommend it enough!

Full day of adventures - The Lake coloradas was beautifully pink and we took many beautiful and colourful pictures, after the lake we went for a speedy boat ride around Rio Lagartos to see the flamingoes and crocodiles. We got some amazing photos of the crocodiles and also of a few nosy pelicans :) It was a full day trip of adventures and we almost did not make it back in time, but the very helpful staff from Tourballoon Travel Experiences made sure we made our flight home.

Beautiful and good support - It was beautiful both at the pink lake and Rio Lagartos, where we saw some flamingos and an alligator. However, we were somewhat surprised by the length of the trip, which deviated from the original description, but received very impressive support from the company, which ensured that we reached our flight.

Horrible ride , no leg room. Congested . No restroom breaks - Honestly I would not recommend this tour van to anyone. The places are good to see. No complaints I booked for English guide tour. The guide started in Spanish and I asked for English he said he can’t do both. However he explained to us briefly in English as required. The Van a/c was not working or not on. People was asking for it . When I asked to put the ac he joked as if didn’t understand saying is it too cold. But I thought he was saving on gas. He on the ac after he filled gas on return trip. Which we felt the cool air. There was a flat fire while going , it’s unfortunate and we wasted 1 hr While coming back after crocodile place. It’s 3 and 1/2 hrs non stop to Cancun. Without restroom break . As a courtesy he should ask and stop for restroom break. The van is too congested and old. They have to transport us to bus from playa del Carmen to our hotel. We have grab all our stuff and get in to bus Overall I would not recommend and not comfortable ride
