Maurice_H, Oct 2025

this was a great tour in thatvall the spots we visited, the guides took great care of us and were willing to explains things nicely to us and we're more than willing to do our pics and videos

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for the chance to share this adventure with you, Las Coloradas and the Rio Lagartos Biosphere are truly amazing places Our staff always aim to make the day as special as possible

Delfin was the best tour guide we could've asked for!!

Maria_H, May 2023

Kindly note that this has been one of the best tours I have ever taken! Delfín 🐬 and our bus operator were beyond kind, patient, respectful and informative! As an international immigration Attorney, I travel all over the world and it was very refreshing to find some of the best tour operator/guides in my home country which I had not visited in over a decade! The food was amazing and every stop was time to perfection. I traveled with my three children, one whom is autistic, Delfín made sure he was treated with kindness and respect. There were a few guests that complained from the moment they got on the bus. I hope you ignore their bad reviews as these were frivolous. They were upset with their respective partners and took it out on Delfin and staff. There was so much bickering amongst them that they nearly ruined the trip for all. However, Delfin's positive attitude helped us have the time of our lives!!!

Response from Host, May 2023

Pink lake issues

William_O, Mar 2023

Good overall day. Not being able, due to uncontrollable circumstances, go into Las Coloradas, was unfortunate. Had the company know ahead of time, we would have waited.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

We appreciate the understanding on this unfortunate incident, we hope that you liked the rest of the tour and were able to enjoy it

Die Coloradas waren sehr...

Hilal_A, Feb 2022

Die Coloradas waren sehr schön anzusehen. Die Bootstour und die Krokodilfarm waren jedoch das Highlight. Der Tourguide war sehr nett.
