Great tour to get a taste of Holbox - I had a wonderful time on this tour! The tour guide Jonathan picked me up in a shuttle right on time. There were 4 others on the tour so it didn’t feel overcrowded in the shuttle or boat. Beverages were provided throughout. Lunch also included was delicious. We stopped at isla de passion, punta mosquito, and Holbox where there was enough time to get a taste of the island. I rented a golf cart to explore. Highly recommend this tour!

Day trip to Holbox - We found this day trip online & it was very well organised from the moment we paid. We had contact from our tour host, Oliver and he confirmed pick up location and time straight away. Throughout the trip, Oliver and his team were really attentive and great fun. They told us loads of great information throughout the trip & took some great instagram worthy photos for us :) It was great fun and well worth the money. We would recommend this tour to anyone!

Holbox is amazing! - The trip to Holbox was amazing! but like everything there are pros and cons. I will start with the lies and cons to get them out of the way. The description on here lied about several things. First, the trip was not in a van with 14 people. The trip was carried out on a big coach bus with 50+ people. Second, the description also states lunch is included with 2 drinks but we were told that drinks at the restaurant would be an out-of-pocket expense. Okay now to the cons. After arriving to Chiquila, we boarded our speed boats divided 6-8 people per boat and headed to Yalahau cenote. In my opinion this cenote is way too small for a group this size. The cenote starts feeling crowded with 15-20 people in it, now imagine our 50+ group along with the other tour groups that were already there or arrived later. Now to the Pros: - first, even though it was a huge group everything was extremely well organized. Arturo and Luis were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job in managing people, setting time expectations, accommodating the needs of people, coordinating with the boat crews, and making everyone feel included. The boat crews did a great job in coordinating pickups and drop offs as well as making the boat rides as smooth as possible. The food was really good. Since I booked my trip through here, once we were in Holbox there was a golf cart taxi that went to pick me up (taxi fare was already included) and took me to the infamous Alma Bar. This made the trip more enjoyable since I didn't have to worry about renting anything or wonder what to do during my 3 hours of free time after lunch. Overall this is a very good tour, the large amount of people on this tour during covid, the stop at Yalahau which was small and looked dirty in my opinion took away from more free time in Holbox, and the false advertisement about the 2 drinks with lunch are the reasons why I give it 4 stars.

Fifth wheel - Pro: + the guide preordered vegetarian lunch for me. + Holbox is a beauiful island. And Mosquito Island is also beutiful. Neg: - I signed up for an english speaking guide. Then I ended up in a group of spanish speaking people. The could not speak much english and I could not speak much spanish. I felt like the fifth wheel during the excursion. The guide translated some things for me in english but most was in spanish (which I understand since I was in minority). Even though I understand it I do not like it - I paid to get all information about every sight in english. So my suggestion is that you control in advance that you will get what you sign up for.
