Overview

Travel deep into northern Yucatán for a full-day nature and color experience that brings together the pink lagoons of Las Coloradas, the mangrove landscapes of Río Lagartos, a boat ride through a protected natural area, local seafood flavors, and a visit to a crocodile farm.

The day begins with pickup from hotels or designated meeting points in Cancun and the Riviera Maya, with a breakfast box served on board to start the long morning route. Once in Las Coloradas, travelers will discover the famous pink waters, learn about the natural conditions that create their changing tones, and enjoy time for photos in one of Yucatán’s most unusual landscapes.

The experience continues in Río Lagartos with a boat ride through mangroves, where travelers can look for flamingos, tropical birds, crocodiles, and other wildlife in their natural environment. Afterward, enjoy one included dish at a local seaside restaurant before visiting the crocodile farm.
