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.

We really enjoyed our tour today. I felt like it was a great introduction to the diverse ecosystem of Yum Balam nature reserve. Our tour guide, David, did a great job of pointing out the highlights. We got to swim in refreshing spring waters, take a scenic walk on a sand bar and even see pink flamingos. Recommended!

Nice tour

Charlene_L, Jul 2026
It was a good time & we got to see 3 unique places. I wouldn’t do it a second time because I’d be bored but it’s worth doing once.

Great way to spend the afternoon :)

Mariah_M, May 2026
This was such a cool experience. Our guide was really nice & answered all of our random questions (lol) I felt safe the entire time (on the boat & islands).

Debbie_W, Mar 2026
Very informative about each island. Answered any question. Very friendly! I have a bad knee and they were very helpful assisting me to get in andbout of the boat. Location very close to where the boat was docked. Tour good for all ages.

Amazing trip

Beautiful journey

Krista_M, Aug 2025
Julie was an amazing and enthusiastic guide who went above and beyond to make us all comfortable and informed. Our morning group tour turned into a private one for our family (me and two teen girls) which was a nice surprise to have a small boat all to ourselves. The captain was kind. We appreciated how they circled back a bit once to pick up some trash floating in the ocean. Their love of Holbox shined through. We loved the cenote most but all stops are great. Good to be pointed to the cheapest empanadas in town at the end. Loved! Only felt bad that the ATM was out of order nearby that morning and we didn’t have the cash handy to tip better.

Fun way to experience the highlights of Isla Holbox

David is the best!

Erik_V, Aug 2025
We truely enjoyed our tour in a very private setting. We were just with three people in total on a lovely small boat. Our tourguide David was a gem! Very enthousastic & engaging. He spoke very good English, was full of information and funny. We loved our tour very much. And didn't think it would be this fun, because a lot of tourist do the same toue, nut David managed to make it special and unique.

Great Time

Jordan_P, Jul 2025
David and our captain with VIP Holbox was an awesome guide! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Highly recommend!

Recommend this one !!

William_A, Jan 2025
Definitely worth the price paid. If not just for the nice boat ride and excellent tour guide. He was a local who answered all our questions and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Great way to see punto mosquito without doing the laborious walk. The cenote swim was an added bonus. I highly recommend!!

Useless guide

Kristofer_F, Jan 2025
It was quite windy so we couldn’t go to Mosquito beach which I understand, but the guide was completely quite, didn’t share any experience, stories or knowledge and I wonder if he had a hangover or just didn’t know anything. They just let us off at three different places and said we leave in 25min.

Just to see a bit of the surroundings

Sanne_G, Oct 2024
Well it was a bit of a disapointment and price/quality wasn’t in balance. A lot of boat time, an other cenote which was made into a park like thing. I thought it was going to be more about nature, but it wasn’t. We did something in stead of being on the beach all day

Beat the crowd going early

Juvadee_T, Jun 2024
Best tour you could imagine. We were very fortunate to only be 5 guests on the 9am boat and Willy the captain was marvellous. Relaxed tour to Yalahau beating the crowd. Afterwards Passion Island and Punta Mosquito. Highly recommended.

A must experience!!!

Rebecca_B, Apr 2024
Eddie was a great tour guide - he is very knowledgeable and his English is excellent. He made it very fun.

Nice little tour

Monica_S, Mar 2024
We really enjoyed the tour! I believe our guide was Eddie and he gave us lots of info on the places we visited; Yalahau, Isla Pasión and Punto Mosquito. We had a small issue with the motor but the guys quickly fixed it and had another boat on standby if it was needed. They were also nice enough to drop us off at an area closer to the center of town instead of where we started by the port.

Great time!

Diannah_S, Feb 2024
We had a great trip. Gustavo was so knowledgeable and we found the flamingos!!! The captain also gave the choice to avoid choppier waters if we wanted. That was a good idea.

Great time!!!

Roger_E, Jan 2024

100% recommend, was excellent!

Incredible experience! Amazing experience!

David was very personable and knowledgeable, the islands and Yalahau were incredibly beautiful, and thanks to Jaime we saw some dolphins and followed them! Clear communication when we had to reschedule the tour because of weather conditions. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Good tour to know Holbox

David_R, Jan 2026
This tour is a good way to get to know Holbox and its surroundings. At the starting point, they welcome you and have bathrooms. The guide, David, was very friendly and attentive. You can see his passion for making Holbox known and his interest in meeting his tourists. We had the opportunity to get off at each stop to enjoy the views, birds and beaches. The duration of the tour felt adequate. Something that can improve is that the tour term is not at the same point as the departure and that is not indicated in Viator or previously. Also, it would be good to have showers in the facilities to rinse after swimming in the sea.

Bel giro

Francesco_P, Aug 2024
Bel giro, non troppo lungo e svoltosi da programma. Eravamo solo in quattro e anche i posti visitati non erano troppo affollati

Super expérience

Elsa_S, Feb 2024
Parfaite expérience avec notre guide Maya qui nous a très bien expliqué les différentes informations que l’on devait savoir. + nous avons eu de la chance car nous étions seuls dans un bateau prévu pour un groupe. Merci pour tout !!
