Holbox Adventure - Very long ride from Playa Del Carmen. Boat ride was pleasant. Holbox was definitely not what I expected. We did rent a golf cart to navigate a bit better. Streets are sand so walking for an older couple was a little more difficult. Finishing the day in the cenote was quite refreshing.

Knowledgable tour guided but do dress appropriately as this is a long trip - This is a long trip so dress appropriately and take a spare change of clothes. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and did not press or mention tips which made us feel at ease, we are happy to tip but were feeling a bit fed up of feeling pressured by other tour guides/street sellers. Our tour guide mentioned conversation he has been a tour guide for over 9 years and throughly enjoys his job as he gets to travel as part of this. The fact he enjoys his job made us enjoy the experience so much more

Absolutely phenomenal - We went on a tour to Holbox Island yesterday, and it was fantastic! They picked us up right from the hotel, which was super convenient. Our guide, Jonathan, was amazing, and the boat captain, Chewy, was great too! The islands were beautiful – Passion Island had stunning sandbanks, and the homemade food was delicious, especially the burritos and fish and chips. Overall, it was a wonderful experience thanks to Jonathan, Chewy, and the incredible sights. I highly recommend this tour!

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!

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.

A lot of money for less value - Pick up and travel to the island was nice. A lot of choice for the lunch as well. But when arrived at the island there was a lot of see wead. They knew this apparently already days before becaused it rained. In my opinion you should warn the visitors in advance since we paid a lot of money for this day. Besides this, the way back was way longer (too long). We went back via Cancun where the operated should have booked two different transports. This made our trip back home 3,5h in the bus instead of 1,5h. Very sad ending of the day
