It's 100% worth it - Spectacular. I loved it, it was my first time in Holbox and the guides offered me several recommendations for local cuisine, they were always attentive and although we couldn't take the golf cart ride we were able to take a walk around the island and enjoy local cuisine and an impressive view on the terrace of a restaurant

Highly recommend - This day trip was truly an incredible experience. The locations we visited were pure paradise. Our tour guide was great and the customer service over the phone were lifesavers helping us when we initially missed our bus pick-up.

Great trip to Holbox and surrounding islands... - We booked the Ekinox Holbox tour for four people through Trip Advisor and it really was a great day out. A long day though, being collected from our Playa Mujeres hotel at 7am and returning around 9pm - but absolutely worth it. Noa was a brilliant guide from the off, his english was perfect and he was super funny and informative. Francisco and Maria the other two guides we really helpful and lovely too. We went to 2 islands before Holbox where you saw so much wildlife (including wild Flamingo's and eagles) and then 2.5 hrs on Holbox. This wasn't enough time really as the island of Holbox is total paradise.... Maybe plan a couple of nights stay on this island as it has so much to offer... The last island was the Yalahau Cenote (more open than the ones on the main land) in a mangrove area and it was a refreshing fresh water dip before we headed back to the main land. The 8 man boat you travel round in is basic - but ideal for the bombing around on the sea all day. They provide a nice lunch on board and drinks all day too. You're collected in small AC vans fro your hotel and then transferred to a larger coach to take you to the port to board your small boat for the day. I would say each way was around 2.5 hrs on the large coach. The 4 of us had a great day and we would all highly recommend this trip to Holbox....

Great trip for couples and families who want to see a lot of nature - We had a lot of fun on the tour. The pick-up, drive and return trip went without any problems. Our guide Noa and driver Caesar were very nice and informative. We particularly liked Paradis Island and Bird Island because of their great nature and biodiversity.

Good Tour - Our guide Noé, very friendly and with a very positive attitude, made our excursion very nice. Despite it not being the best day to go to the island of Holbox. Since we found that the island was flooded and the beaches with algae. But it is still an experience different from the conventional. The first stop we made was to the Yalahau cenote, a truly charming place. The second stop was towards Pasión Island where we were able to see the fauna, take many photos and at that same stop we had our lunch on the boat. Very good organization by the guys on the boat. We needed to detail that we would have liked to spend more time on the island of Holbox. Thank the bus driver for his journey at all times.

BOAT ACCIDENT - Appalling!!! And not because of the Tour, my mother had an accident and the Tour guides, especially the guide Noé, minimized the accident, in addition to the fact that he was already drunk during his work hours, if something worse had happened to him, in that state he would not have been able to do Nothing about that guide, the only one who did anything was Darien, who definitely lacks a lot of experience, terrible!
