Celestun Flamingo Boat Tour
Flamingos were a given. But…an alligator?!
And, so much more!
The tour was more than we expected!
Celestun is known for its flamingos. Our neighbors invited us to join them for this bout tour. They have done it several times and never tire of it.
First, we love being on the water. Second, these boats were comfortable! We sat in our own chairs! Third, the view of flamingos and other birds was amazing, along with the fun of navigating through mangroves.
And, a cenote! We didn’t have our swimming gear along, so we enjoyed it from ‘shore’.
And . . . an alligator! (in the pics below!)
Enjoy the pics and videos!
