The sea was choppy so we went to Bird Island instead of Mosquito Point. Saw dolphins! Also lots of sea and shore birds. Yalahau was a treat, even if not a cenote. Wading in the shallow water at Passion Island was lovely.

Hi Ann,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour, the wildlife sightings, and the beautiful stops along the way. Seeing dolphins is always a special moment! We appreciate your understanding regarding the route adjustment due to the choppy sea—your safety and comfort are always our priority.
It’s great to know you enjoyed Yalahau and the peaceful shallow waters at Passion Island. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another great day on the water.
Warm regards,
Xtreme Holbox Team

Watching all the other boats leaving the dock filled with people, I would highly recommend this private tour either earlier or later in the day. We had the islands to ourselves and it was magical. Our guide and captain were so much fun!

The tour was phenomenal! We were able to chose our start time and this allowed us to be at the cenote before the shared boat tours arrived. We highly recommend taking the private tour if you have a small group.

Johnny and David were excellent! They contacted me an hour or so after booking the tour to arrange pickup. We were picked up by boat in front of our hotel and whisked off to Isla Pasión - where we saw a few flamingos (its flamingo off-season, so I was happy to see any at all!) and a copious amount of pelicans. We then went to the cenote, which was a cool experience. We paid $100MXN each for entrance and swam and hung out in the hammocks for the whole hour. The park that encompasses the cenote also has bathrooms, changing rooms, life jackets (required for swimming, no additional charge), and a restaurant. We asked to leave a few minutes early to head to Punta Mosquito, which they were happy to do. They provided beer (Modelo), soda (Pepsi) and water, which we took full advantage of. This tour can accommodate 8 people, but there was just the two of us, making it a truly private experience. We were able to request a pick up time as well. Was definitely a fun way to spend an afternoon! Next time I’ll book the full-day experience! Thank you, Johnny and David!

This tour is not interesting. Might as well go by taxi to punta mosquito and pay 3 euros because it is pretty. 220 euros for that is losing your money. The cenote yalahau is awful (when you’ve seen real beautiful cenotes before it’s ridiculous even) and crowded, even early in the morning. Big tourist trap with a huge tail (dozens of boats from tourist groups arrive at the same time). We stayed 15 minutes instead of the 1 hour scheduled. In addition, it costs 100 pesos per person while on the tour description it says 50. Finally Isla Pasión is also not interesting and again crowded with tourists. The beach of our hotel was much more beautiful and quiet. Finally on the description the tour indicates that the round trip hotel is included but the very unsympathetic gentleman told me once the tour was over that the return to the hotel was not included. At my insistence he calls a taxi which, having arrived at the hotel, tells me that it is up to me to pay. What a strange way to do it! I called the gentleman of the tour insisting and as I had booked a whale shark tour the next day (which was not better...) he finally agreed to pay. When I sent the screenshots confirming that the round trip and return were included as well as their error on the cost of the cenote I never got a reply. Finally, the guide was nice but absolutely did not understand English and spoke it very poorly.

Lamentamos profundamente leer comentarios tan negativos y alejados de la realidad de la experiencia que ofrecemos. Nuestra empresa cuenta con una trayectoria sólida, cientos de clientes satisfechos y opiniones que avalan la calidad, profesionalismo y dedicación de nuestro equipo.
En el caso del tour con tiburón ballena, el guía Jesús siguió estrictamente los protocolos de seguridad exigidos para esta actividad. Las indicaciones firmes, la asistencia física y la rapidez de acción son necesarias para garantizar tanto la seguridad de los clientes como el respeto al animal. Esta no es una excursión de paseo libre, sino una actividad regulada con tiempos limitados que exige cooperación de todos los participantes.
Respecto a las observaciones sobre el tour privado de 3 islas, el itinerario, los costos y las condiciones fueron claramente informados antes de la reserva. En todo momento se le brindó solución, incluso asumiendo costos adicionales que no correspondían a la empresa, como gesto de buena voluntad.
Nos apena que, a pesar de nuestro esfuerzo por complacerla en ambas ocasiones, su actitud y forma de trato hacia nuestro equipo no hayan facilitado el desarrollo óptimo de las experiencias. Nuestros demás visitantes valoran y disfrutan las mismas actividades que usted critica, lo que refuerza que la diferencia radica en la percepción individual, no en la calidad del servicio.
