Río Lagartos & Las Coloradas: Guided Tour, Lunch with Drinks + Transfer

About this experience

This guided day tour travels from Playa del Carmen to Río Lagartos, a fishing village and nature reserve on the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, and to the salt lagoons of Las Coloradas. The full-day itinerary runs approximately 12 hours and combines a boat ride through the reserve's water channels, a Mayan clay bath, a beach stop, and a three-course lunch with drinks. Return transfers from hotels in the Cancún area are included in the booking, with the departure point at 4 Avenida Tulum. On the water, the boat passes through mangrove channels where pink flamingos, herons, pelicans, cormorants, eagles, and seagulls are regularly spotted. The route continues under the Las Coloradas bridge to reach the salt deposits, where mineral processes produce bodies of water in vivid shades of pink. A stop at the Mayan Bath lets visitors cover themselves in nutrient-rich clay before rinsing off at a nearby virgin beach. The tour also includes a freshwater spring surrounded by mangroves reaching up to 25 metres, where crocodiles are occasionally seen. Lunch is a three-course fish and seafood meal served with five drinks, water, beer, or soft drink. Note that the ecotax, sanitation, and nature reserve fee of 800 MXN per person is not covered.
