Wow flying flamingos! I never have seen that! That looks amazing. Celestun is really a hidden gem! Good job! ☀️🦩

[@TouristtoLocal]

We hadn’t realized before that we’d never seen flamingos fly! It was crazy! Thanks for watching!

[@cindyk3076]

Very pretty beach there, the flamingos were outstanding! The pinkish water was cool and weird at the same time, the mangrove tunnel was super cool!

[@TouristtoLocal]

It was super trippy! We’d never seen anything like it!!! Thanks for watching!

[@loricole4906]

We were there a year ago March and did exactly what you did and enjoyed it just as much. Celestun is a magical place altogether.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Awww that’s so cool! Thanks so much for watching!!

My driver tools straight to the place at the ria were all the boats we’re waiting $2400 for whole boat or $600 per persone if you are lucky to share the ride with others

[@TouristtoLocal]

Good tip! Thank you!

[@gavinfirkser7371]

When you say the other tourists were “confused”… what happened?! Thanks for the tip?

[@TouristtoLocal]

They were offered the choice of two tours: one to see flamingos and go through the mangroves, and another that didn''t do the mangroves and instead did a sacred mayan mud bath in the ocean and a tour along the coastline. This one couple in our group believed the tour included all those activities. We had overheard the tour operator offer the options to them, and they had been very clear about what was included. Ultimately, they decided to be nice and do the sacred mayan mud bath for our tour as well without charging extra, but this wouldn't be typical. The lady was very pregnant, so they kinda made an exception for her 😉

Flamingos are actually white not pink they eat pink shrimp that make them pink, they also migrate which means they fly, they stand on one leg to conserve more body heat, I know this bc they’re my favorite animal and have over 50 things of flamingo things ♥️💕🦩🦩🦩 Have a great day ♥️

[@TouristtoLocal]

That's awesome you love flamingos so much! Have you ever gone to see them in the wild?

[@JemaViltz-ro4fo]

I seen them at a zoo before and it was like a month ago and it was so fun but I’ve never seen them in the wild. Hopefully someday I see them in the wild 🦩♥️💕
