0/5 stars, do not recommend. The Coloradas themselves are really cool, just don’t go through Viator. We started the day with the driver calling us and saying you need to come outside and walk down the street and we’ll pick you up. We were immediately alarmed because every other tour guide had to go through the security gate and tell the guard his name, and taxi number. This driver argued with us for five minutes, refusing to come inside the hotel claiming the gate attendant wouldn’t let him in. When in actuality we could see the gate from where we were standing outside the hotel and he wasn’t there. He finally relented and registered his vehicle to come inside the hotel. When he did he was clearly angry with us which is bizarre because we were following hotel protocol which he should be familiar with as a driver. We drove to the next spot in uncomfortable silence and we were all very stressed out that we had just put ourselves in an unsafe situation. When we got to the next meeting spot we got into a second van where eventually other passengers were picked up and we felt a little more at ease. Now when they say “breakfast is included” what they mean is a breakfast you could expect in prison. White bread, one slice of baloney, half a slice of American cheese. The trip is advertised as being a three hour car trip each way. The first leg of the trip was FIVE hours. The van was hot with no ac, even when we asked the driver to turn it on and he kept saying over and over “there’s only the Mayan bathroom for this trip” . His idea of a joke- meaning we would have to pee in the grass outside, on the road if we needed to use the bathroom at any point in our FIVE HOUR van trip. When we finally arrived at las Coloradas we were ushered off the van and told to walk around the edge of the lake. After walking about 10 minutes I asked our guide/driver if he could please explain a little about the lakes, (how they come to be pink for example) he said, “later, just keep walking”. At no point did he explain about the lakes we paid all this money and traveled all this way to see. What he did do was busy himself taking selfies and his own pictures of the lake. I’ll fast forward through the rest, lunch was inedible, service was bad. Rio Lagartos was really cool and luckily we had a different guide for that portion of the trip who was friendly and pointed out things for us to see. The crocodile sanctuary was ok, the people who work there were very nice and informative. Rounding up our trip was a SIX HOUR trip back where again we were not provided with water, ac, or an opportunity to use a bathroom. At the end of the trip the driver made an awkward and uncomfortable speech about leaving him gratuity and showing gratitude for all he had done for us throughout the day. Find any other way to see the Coloradas besides this company.

Dear Customer The protocol is to follow the security methods for your safety because hotel security always doesn't let you enter the lobby, the tour is shared and that's why they go to different hotels and that's why they take time to arrive, in the description of the tour Mention how long it takes to get there, and that we offer a simple box lunch, perhaps the intermediary travel agency gave you bad information, we are the local tour operator, we have a private tour list for this tour, we invite you to read it. Have a nice day
Worth to try

Not many guide and explanation at the tourist site. The lunch is pretty authentic Mexican styles. But overall experience is not bad.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Dear customer: This tour is the most relaxing there is, you leave your daily day at your hotel to live more with nature, it takes time to get there because it is located in Yucatan, so you can go on the road listening to music, watching a movie on your device or am I sleeping We are glad that you attended our tour. Best Regards
Alles war ganz Top. Uns...
