    Absolutely awfuk

    Absolutely awful. The guide didn’t even look for me or shouted my name. I was right in front of the hotel and he left without me. The costumer service was absolutely awful. Kept not replying to me and I ended up waiting almost an hour for a bus that had left.

    Must see!!

    This excursion is a must if you are staying anywhere in the area. I booked the tour with hotel pickup in Playa Del Carmen. The drive was approximately 3 to 3-1/2 hours, but the commute was well worth it. The bus was very comfortable and roomy. Plenty of space to relax, take a nap, watch tv….. the bus included WiFi service which was great! The pink lakes (pink salt flats) need to be seen in person to really enjoy. The whole itinerary from the pink lakes to the speed boat to the Mayan mud bath was so much fun. Lunch was excellent and the last stop at the crocodile farm was awesome.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your comment We hope recommend us to your friends.

    Beautiful Pink Lakes

    It was a great experience with the pink lakes. I didn’t know that it is a salt producing site. Very educational and with great pictures. We also got to see crocodiles, a boat ride and beach. A very full and fun day!

    "Simply a must in your trip to Riviera Maya and México"

    "Simply a must in your trip to Riviera Maya and México" Our tour with this company was incredible, since the pick up, all the people so gentle and ready to assist you, we travel on a new bus with Air and the lunch was great. The explanation of the guide was perfect, he told us what to do and what not. Despite was a cluody day, we arrive to "Las Coloradas" and the water was Totally Pink, they explain us why is this possible. We take a lot of pictures and videos there. After that we went in a boat by the river and we saw animals in their natural habitat, crocodiles, Flamingos, a lot of birds, and if you have luck you can see Jaguars there. Then we went for the meal, was delicious and enough for a big guy like me. We finish visiting a farm of crocodiles, you can see them, touch them, even take pictures with this amazing animals. The treat with this company was incredible, I will back and make another tours with Translamex.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your comment We hope see you again in Cancun soon Regard

    Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.

    How much does Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tulum is not rushed.

    Is Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tulum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cancun tour Las Coloradas Pink Lagoon + Rio Lagartos Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tulum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tulum?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tulum?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tulum?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
