About this experience
If you love nature and are interested in seeing Mexico's exceptional wildlife. Then you won't want to miss this opportunity to go on this tour in Las Coloradas-Rio Lagartos. Enjoy a spectacular day in the Mexican Caribbean. Sail and explore one of the most beautiful landscapes that the Yucatan Peninsula has to offer. On this tour, we will take you to Las Coloradas, a set of pink and orange lagoons located in Rio Lagartos, enjoy a boat ride where you will cross the mangrove area, while admiring the nesting of a variety of birds, including the popular pink flamingos. Come face to face with crocodiles in their natural habitat in the Rio Lagartos reserve on your boat ride as you pass through the different mangroves. Important information: From July 19 to August 19, 2023, due to the beginning of the salt harvest, the pink tone of Las Coloradas is much lower and you will not be able to appreciate the characteristic color of this area. We thank you for your understanding.

Brilliant full day trip
Thoroughly excellent day trip. All the activities were successful. The Flamingos were fabulous and only 10 feet away from us on multiple occasions. The tour guide, Dolphin, was friendly and helpful. The driver was safe and steady. Both the Boatmen were exellent. The lunch was delicious. In the Mangrove canals we saw two Crocodiles, both very close - less than a foot away from us. We also saw a variety of different birds. Then at the Crocodile sanctuary you could feed the Crocs with a stick only 3 feet long. We had a brilliant day.
Response from the operator: Hi Dees, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a brilliant day and enjoyed all the different activities, especially the flamingos, crocodiles, wildlife, and the delicious lunch. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with Dolphin, our driver, and the boat crew. It sounds like you had some truly unforgettable wildlife encounters! We hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure in Mexico!

Good but very long trip
We really enjoyed the Rio Lagartos speed boat and the views, we were able to see the crocodiles very closely. The visit to the farm was great, we enjoyed holding the baby crocodile and feeding them. I don't remember the name of the old guy in the farm, but he was very nice and friendly, making everyone feeling comfortable to hold the crocodile. Arturo our guide tour was amazing! He was helpful and explained everything well. The Las Coloradas was not what we expected, very different from the pictures on the website. The trip from Cancun was very lonnng as we had to go to Playa Del Carmen to get the other people to go on the van. Overall a good trip, but extra time to leave the people from Playa Del Carmen first in their hotels. It would be much better to have a van leaving from Cancun straight to Las Coloradas. It was very hot and the air conditioning in the van was not working properly.

Interactive cultural experiences!
Comfortable bus with water and beer included and engaging tour guide Pablo. Pink waters at salt flats were beautiful. River boat ride was relaxing in the breeze and sun...even after a little hitch up on the sand bar viewing the flamingos. Beach stop was quick but refreshing. Lunch restaurant had showers and lively music with delicious fresh seafood. Last stop of crocodile farm was interactive and the staff were very helpful to get us some wonderful photo memories. Long day from pick up at 6:30 am and drop off at 9:45 pm but so worth it!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean?
+
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 Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean?
+
Around 14 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover the FABULOUS PINK WATERS in the Caribean 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.
