Excellent - The tour was amazing.
We were able to see dolphins, we had good fishing, and we had a great time.
The captain was a gem. He made a delicious ceviche, one of the best I have ever tasted.

Fish On!!! - Best traditional fishing I have ever entertained. Our guide Jonathan was not only knowledgeable, he was clear and profesional with all his instructions. Captain Tomas was where we needed to be always, on the Fish!
Not only did we catch the fish, they went the extra mile and set up a feast in a local restaurant for us to enjoy the bounty.
Hands down a must when visiting Holbox!

Ceviche was amazing, fishing not so much - Booked English speaking guide, got a guy who can say hello in english, that's about it.
He picked us up in front of our hotel, drop off was at the port.
First of all, you need to know it is not a deep/sports fishing trip, which I thought would be. We caught 6-8 fish, none bigger than 8 in. That was kinda disappointing considering every trip we go we catch big, deep ocean fish.
This would be a 3 star review for experience, but giving 4 because the guide made a really good ceviche! Like one of the best ones I had in my life!
