Nice little tour - We really enjoyed the tour! I believe our guide was Eddie and he gave us lots of info on the places we visited; Yalahau, Isla Pasión and Punto Mosquito. We had a small issue with the motor but the guys quickly fixed it and had another boat on standby if it was needed. They were also nice enough to drop us off at an area closer to the center of town instead of where we started by the port.

Great time! - We had a great trip. Gustavo was so knowledgeable and we found the flamingos!!!
The captain also gave the choice to avoid choppier waters if we wanted. That was a good idea.

Great boat trip! - We had a great 3 Islas trip with VIP Holbox and guide Eddy/Edier. He knew a lot about the places we visited, and told us some interesting facts about it. It was a bit of a rocky day weather wise, and he took us back to port in between stops to wait out some rain fall. After 10 minutes or so, we were able to go back out again and visit the last stop. We really appreciated this! Because of this stop we were the only ones on the watchtower at the bird island, which was an amazing experience! Eddy was a great guide and I would absolutely recommend VIP Holbox!

Great tour of the area! - We had such a fun time visiting the 3 islands with our wonderful local guide, Willy! We went to Yalahau first and my tween and teenager had so much fun swimming in the fresh water cenote. I loved the view from the tower! Next, we went to Isla Pajaros (Bird Island) to learn about the local birds and the history of the area. On our way to our last island we spotted a pod of dolphin and our driver cruised over so we could enjoy watching them. Our last stop was Passion Island where we saw some large iguanas, a stunning view of the mainland from the tower and had a refreshing dip in the turquoise water. Would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone visiting Holbox! Also recommend taking the earliest tour possible to avoid crowds at Yalahau.
