1.Las Coloradas Pink Lake & Rio Lagartos Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 103 reviews · 12 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $144Our pick

Cancun to Las Coloradas and Rio Lagartos by shared van, with pink lake photos, boat wildlife, seafood lunch, and a crocodile farm stop.

“Like others said, only the crocodile farm is fun. Seeing the flamingos was cool during the boat ride. Lake was not that pink. The path to get onto the boat was sketchy. You have to hang onto a wall to walk across which was maybe 6 inches wide. Definitely not safe for children and seniors. I already expected long hours of commute but coordination is horrible. Pick up was late and you have to waste 2 hrs going in and out of Play del Carmen to pick up others. Based on others reviews it's all about luck if you get a good guide and bus. We got a 21 seater…”

2.Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS at the Caribean (Las Coloradas+Río Lagartos)

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 53 reviews · 12 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $125

See strawberry-pink salt lakes at Las Coloradas, then boat through Rio Lagartos for flamingos, mangroves, crocs, plus meals and transfers.

“We did the Las coloradas and Rio Lagartos tour but were a bit disappointed with the organisation of the tour. The stop at las coloradas is meant to be just for one spot to take a few pictures but not to visit the entire area. It's basically to get to the gate. In our case they were extracting salt on the day meaning you couldn't see anything at the gate so we were given the option to go on a bus tour within the salt complex where the pink lagoons are. We had to pay extra for this which i wasn't thrilled about since it wasn't mentioned in the description.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 26 reviews · 12 hours (approx.)

Las Coloradas pink lakes and a Rio Lagartos boat ride from Cancun, with Mayan mud bath, lunch and wildlife spotting.

“0/5 stars, do not recommend. The Coloradas themselves are really cool, just don’t go through Viator. We started the day with the driver calling us and saying you need to come outside and walk down the street and we’ll pick you up. We were immediately alarmed because every other tour guide had to go through the security gate and tell the guard his name, and taxi number. This driver argued with us for five minutes, refusing to come inside the hotel claiming the gate attendant wouldn’t let him in. When in actuality we could see the gate from where we were standing outside the hotel and he wasn’t there. He…”

Pink lakes, a Río Lagartos wildlife boat ride, and a Mayan clay bath on a long Cancun day trip with lunch and AC transport.

“Very good tour apart from pick up and drop off. The main guide (Artouro) was amazing. Speaking more languages than the average European, pleasant and super helpful. The second guide was horrible. I don't remember his name, but he was the one responsible of picking up and dropping off people at Cancun. Artouro joined us at Playa del Carmen and also got off before reaching Cancun. I was picked up with almost 30 minutes delay from Casa Maya Hotel. The tour lasted nearly 16 hours. On our way back to Cancun and after Artouro left, the other travel guide asked me to get off elsewhere and board another bus of…”

We then drove off towards Yucatan - Las Coloradas. On the highway we stopped at a small restaurant and ate some breakfast (paid by ourselves, wasn‘t expensive). At Las Coloradas, we have been able to visit the pink Salt Salines and got accomplished by a local. The local took some great pictures and our tour-guide paid the tip!
