From start to finish, this tour was spectacular! In addition to marveling at the landscape and the flamingos, the clear and timely communication with Luisa from the moment of booking, the impeccable coordination of transportation and schedules, and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guide came together to make us live a very pleasant experience. I recommend it 100%

He quedado maravillada con la visita a este hermoso lugar donde están los flamencos en su habita natural, el paseo en bote no lo puedes perder para admirar esta naturaleza hermosa, además del paseo por los manglares en donde estaba incrédula a ver cocodrilos y quedé sorprendida, está hermoso, los botes muy limpios, las personas muy amables. La playa es una mega alberca de agua transparente y arena blanca, está hermoso.

A really good day out from Merida. The organisation was perfect. Gabriel, our guide, was punctual, friendly and very knowlegeable. The car was very nice, clean and comfortable. The boat trip was excellent and we saw many species of birds as well as the flamingos. Beware of the racoons around the booking office - they have obviously learnt that human beings bring food! They have sharp claws - the scratches on my leg attest to that! After the boat ride, we went to the beach in Celestun and Gabriel took us for a ride around the town and the harbour. It was a lovely beach but much too hot for us at midday. Lovely to see the places though. Thank you to Gabriel and Travelezza for a memorable day.
