Our experience with Diego...
Our experience with Diego our guide was amazing. He speaks French/English/Spanish very well (we are French) and is very kind !
He gave us lots of informations about the island and the animals we were seeing.
We saw flamants rose, raies, hérons, crocodiles. He came pick us at the hotel and drop us back.
We were a bit afraid about mosquitos (morning tour) and none, even in the mangrove so it was perfect !
We fully recommand this experience !!

Their majesties the shark whales!!
INCREDIBLE!!! Swimming with shark whales is a once in a life experience but doing it with VIP Holbox puts it at another level. The great briefing before sailing, the personal care of Eddy, the great ceviche prepared by Captain Jorge made the whole day a wonderful day to remember

Highly recommend!
Breathtaking! Completely unique and unforgettable. Enrique led our tour and taught us about bioluminescence, then pointed out constellations. It was a small group and an easy kayak ride. The stars were amazing and the bioluminescent bay was incredible. Highly recommend!

Unique and memorable experience!
Had a great time seeing the bioluminescent plankton in Holbox. Alex was so kind, knowledgeable and prepared - timing everything perfectly and providing all of the gear (which was really nice quality). He shared lots of information about the plankton and the stars/constellations and even captured some great photos and videos that he shared with us after.

A great experience
We had a wonderful time on the Three Islands Tour. Communication with the tour company was excellent and our guide, Johnny, was very friendly and informative. There were only 6 people on the tour including ourselves, which was nice. We visited all three locations as advertised and even saw several groups of dolphins fairly close to the boat along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Fabulous kayak adventure in Holbox!
Excellent tour! We decided to go on the 6 am sunrise one and it was fantastic! Ivan our guide clearly loves what he does He had so many incredible facts about the animals and marvelled in the flock of Flamingos alongside us. So many birds and several crocs. Even my teenagers loved this! Highly recommend!

Fantastic
Our guides (Enrique and Ivan) contacted us via WhatsApp before pickup. They picked us up from the hotel right on time, and we drove to the beach with three other guests. There, we received our equipment and were able to store our belongings in a locker free of charge. We then received a briefing on kayaking, as it was our first time kayaking.
From there, we set off across the sea, which was a bit tricky at first, but our guides waited for us and helped us all the way to the mangroves. Along the way, we even saw our first small crocodile and were able to take some fantastic photos of the sunrise. In the mangroves, our guides explained the flora and fauna in detail. They pointed out every animal we encountered and explained something about each one. Midway through the tour, we were treated to drinks and snacks. Unfortunately, we only saw a single flamingo, but it was a beautiful sight.
The marine life was also explained to us.
Our guides waited patiently for us, and we felt very well taken care of. There was plenty of time for photos and videos during the tour.
A fantastic tour, highly recommended. However, it's really strenuous for beginners.

Lovely evening in early March
Not quite the time of year, but we did see some bioluminescence. Our tour guide was great, and we had a wonderful evening with a clear sky to see the stars. We went to a private beach, so there were not many people, and they took a photo of us under the stars. Hotel pickup was extra nice. Would recommend!

A memorable experience
The tour was splendid and everything we hoped for. Our guide David Ricardo and our captain were very knowledgeable about the island and its history. On our way to Yalahau in the morning, we were fortunate to encounter a pod of dolphins, it was quite incredible. We ended our tour with punta mosquito as our last stop, which was so relaxing and then were dropped off in town. Highly recommend booking this tour!

Amazing trip
Absolutely incredible trip, a true 10/10. Billy was an outstanding guide, so friendly and knowledgeable, and the scenery was beyond beautiful. From peaceful birdwatching to pristine sandbanks and breathtaking nature, every moment felt special. One of the highlights of our time in Holbox, an absolute must-do.

This fishing trip is...
This fishing trip is super fun! The boat trip to the fishing spot took about 1 hour, and we caught a lot of fish.
Water was not toongood for snorkeling so we skipped that part and went streight to the Cabo Catoche beach to make the Ceviche for lunch.
The team was very nice and helpful.
I took my 10 year old son with me and he had a lot of fun catching the fish.

Our best experience in Holbox
Fantastic experience with our guide David who was incredibly knowledgeable about both the sea life and the stars (the latter of which is greatly undersold!). Even though the conditions were only about 40%, the bioluminescence was still very prominent once you got away from the light of the town so don’t be put off if you can’t see it as soon as the sun sets

things_to_do
On Isla Holbox, life slows down—with no bridge to the mainland, the pace here is a world away from the spring breakers of Cancun and the arty hedonism of Tulum. But if you get tired of lounging, Isla Holbox tours can supplement your vacation with some exploration. Visit bioluminescent waters, mangrove forests, and remote islands such as Isla de los Pájaros in a kayak. The nearby waters even count gargantuan whale sharks among their residents.
