Yes Jessica, I'm a lady in my 60's and was there Jan 2017. I took both the water birding tour and the land tour on the wildlife reserve. I stayed two nights at a comfortable room rented by Diego of Rio lagartos tours, the local birding expert. The birding was great, and Diego recommended the best times of day for each tour. Meeting the friendly people of the quaint little town was a pleasure. I took the public bus from Cancun to get there, and felt very safe. It was 3.5hrs from Cancun to Tizimin, then change bus and another hour & a half to reach Rio Lagartos. The bus driver waited there and refused to leave me until a local gentleman had made contact with Diego's family. It was a very special experience for me and I recommend it highly.
