David was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the fauna and conscious of environmental preservation. Highly recommend the 7AM tour if you are looking for a relaxed time.

Nice fishing trip. Forget about the snorkeling, it seems pretty rare in that season so don't book it if you expect it (should be clearer). Be extra careful with the fishing string, it can cut your fingers and hands when trying to get a fish. The landscape was amazing and the ceviche was delicious. One motor broke on the way back so it took almost 2 hours and a half to come back to holbox.

Great excursion with a very knowledgeable guide. The trip lasted longer than was indicated and we saw a lot of different birds

It was a lovely relaxing kayak through the mangroves and saw loads of birds including flamingos. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the birds, wildlife and the island. An overall excellent experience.

Kayaking through the mangrove and kayaking into the sunset. Company was well organized. Kayaks were comfortable. Danielle was a very good guide.

This was the highlight of our holiday, we got to see flamingoes, different types of heron and even had a young crocodile swimming a few metres from the kayak. The trip was very well organised, with our friendly guides picking us up from the hotel and taken to the waterfront. We paddled along the large stretch of water between the promenade and the sandbank so we felt perfectly safe. There was us and one other couple and we could go at our own pace. Fantastic experience that we would recommend to anyone going to Holbox, although we were paddling for 3 hours so your do need a certain level of fitness.

The mangrove excursion in Kayak was amazing.
We saw many birds, eagles, crocodiles…
David the guide, was exceptional and very professional.
It was a magic moment in our vacation surrounded by wild nature to preserve.

Definitely a special experience to get into the beautiful mangroves of Holbox. There is sooo much wildlife - in the ocean, along the banks and in the air. Our guide was really passionate and we learned so much. We saw crocodiles, horseshoe crabs, string rays and lots and lots of birds. We kayaked approx 7km in total- I’m not gonna lie we were exhausted at the end of it but kayaking back into the sunset and seeing all the wildlife that we did made it worth it!

We had a lovely time. Everything was very well organized and our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. It was a good workout, quite a long time on the kayak. We saw plenty of birds. Unfortunately no flamingos or crocodiles on our trip, but I would say the experience was still worth it.

This kayak tour was amazing and a must do for anyone visiting Isla Holbox. You get to go into the mangroves and see beautiful species of birds and if you're lucky you catch a glimpse of crocodiles (we saw 2!). Our guide Alejandra (Alex) was amazing and had so much passion for nature and the beauty of the island. The tour provides a good workout and can be catered to the abilities of the guests. I highly recommend this tour and we will probably do it again if we return.

Fue hermoso, un gran conductor, la explicación de las especies fue buena, se cancelo nuestro tour pero ellos mismos nos unieron a otro grupo/empresa y cumplió exactamente nuestras expectativas, fue hermoso ver el amanecer aún que debería iniciar mas temprano para apreciar el amanecer en el manglar se disfruto mucho.
