150usd is really overpriced since one girl get the package at half of the price from the street another guy also get a cheaper package from other website. Good thing is we did go around in a van in a smaller (24 pax) group but I was really hoping for 12-pax group with the price I was paying. Anyway, for this trip, smaller group is really recommended because at the pink lake we will need to take turn to go up the viewing tower and also to take picture with crocodiles at the crocodile farm. We were split into groups of six on the boats at the Biosphere Reserve so group size doesn't really matter for this activity. Las Coloradas lake was really pink! The pink will be more striking in sunny day. However, we took the basic package which allow us to access to only one lake. There are 15 pink lakes altogether but we will need to buy the safari package to enjoy (take picture between two pink lakes) them, which of course is impossible due to the time limitation of the tour.

Long day, but no souvenir shops, thanks for that. Ek Balam or Cenote in the morning, you have to choose, we wanted Ek Balam, great place, all Ruins allowed to climb on. Pink Lakes are technical and not of much interest, not allowed to take pictures by normal cameras. And very hot near. Rio Lagartos are good boat trip, lots of birds. Lunch was good, drinks not included.

A bit too expensive IMO! Also, this is a very long day out with lots to see and do (picked up at 6am and dropped off at 11pm) but I do think it’s worth it. Ek Balam and the pink lakes are both breath taking, and the boat trip was incredible fun. There were 3 tour guides for our large group and all were very helpful. I was a little disappointed as thought I had booked an English tour but other than the guides, I was the only English speaker on the trip in a group of around 40-50 people. My tour was also combined with another tour, which didn’t include Ek Balam. There was a lot of confusion over this and it didn’t seem well organised. It meant we were waiting around for 30+ mins and I was twice almost sent with the other tour when I knew I had paid for Ek Balam! I would urge the tour company to get slightly better organised in this aspect. Other than that, the rest of the day was brilliant. The guides even made sure the seafood restaurant catered for my gluten free and vegetarian diet!
