Hi, We've done three or four trips with Lalo Tours. They live on the lagoon and have an office on the east end of Zicatela. Ask for Eve (A vey, a male) he is great and knows his birds and laguna. We've done turtle releases too at a nearby beach. Gina Machorro at the Adonquin tourist info office can hook you up too. Cheers, Steve

I believe we arrived at the Lagoon around 4pm which allowed us to see the lagoon before the sun set. Gina (the information goddess) made the arrangements for the lagoon as well as arranging for a taxi driver to take us there. We did not go with a group. Gina also has a great Saturday walking tour.
