Overview

Join us to explore Yucatan's natural attractions, including the UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve, home to crocodiles and flamingos, and the mesmerizing pink ponds of Las Coloradas! Guided by a local expert, learn about the valuable natural heritage of Yucatan State as you explore the amazing mangroves of Ría Lagartos on a boat, an outstanding natural reserve listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. Enjoy a serene sanctuary home to a variety of rare and exotic wildlife, relax and swim in crystal-clear waters on an unspoiled beach, and be captivated by the impressive pink-colored ponds of Las Coloradas. With us, the tour time is spent purely on sightseeing, with no visits to souvenir shops and restaurants unless requested.

CUSTOMIZATION: ◘ Small-group tour: Not customizable. ◘ Private tour: The tour is customizable which means the time you spend in each destination can be adjusted to your needs. E.g. if you wanna visit a place that is not part of the default itinerary (e.g. attraction, restaurant, or market), you can do it on a complimentary basis if this visit (1) still fits the default duration of the tour and (2) doesn't involve a major change of the route. If both conditions are met, we can shorten the stay at a particular location included in the program of tour so that you have time to visit the place you are interested in. Other changes such as extending the duration of the tour, changing the route, and adding extra participants, should be communicated to the Company at least 48h before the tour and will involve an extra fee.
