Highlights
  • Cabo Catoche - Cabo Catoche is about 43 kilometers east of Holbox and it’s the point where the Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico meet. In this area you can see incredible scenery with pristine beaches. It`s the ideal place for fishing and snorkeling because of its lush marine life. But bear in mind that weather conditions may affect this tour.

    DOLPHINS: on this tour you may see dolphins in the outer part of Cabo Catoche.

    FISHING: North of Cabo Catoche we will catch some fish that we will use as ingredients in our ceviche.

    SNORKELING: At the area of Cuevones which is about 2 feet deep you can see all kinds of fish and soft corals. Under stones in the water you can find the harmless nurse sharks lurking in the background and sometimes you can also see hawkshark, octopus and lobsters. (If the water isn’t calm, visibility may not be optimal)

    BEACH AND MANGROVES: After snorkeling we will go ashore at the virgin beach where you can take a walk around the island to take pictures. Then we will prepare and eat our ceviche on the beach. If the tide is high we will go through a mangrove that will take us back to Holbox on the other side of the island.

Personable, Professional Crew; Great Tour - Great trip, great crew, solid experience all around. We had 6 total passengers. Come prepared with good sun protection and a little sense of adventure and you'll have a great time. Fresh ceviche that you caught yourself, enjoyed under coconut trees at Cabo Catoche was a memorable experience. And pods of dolphins just added to it. Snorkeling was decent, despite poor visibility from a recent storm. Tons of fish, healthy reef, nurse sharks, angelfish, and a big moray eel.

The highlight of our trip - This was probably our favorite experience on Holbox. Our guide Gustavo was awesome and a wealth of knowledge about the area and the environment. We caught two barracudas and Gustavo and captain Pablo made the freshest and most delightful ceviche on the boat while we enjoyed walking along the empty beaches. We were not able to snorkel on this trip because the water wasn't very clear but we were still able to enjoy the beach and cooling off in the water. I highly recommend this trip if you can only do one thing while in Isla Holbox.

I do not recommend - I bought this as snorkling tour but there wasnt any snorkling (water was calm etc. So the reason was not weather). The just informed 'no snorkling today'. So it was basicly just boat ride and ceviche costing almost 80 $! In addition, staff didnt speak much English, it would have been nice to listen things about nature, but those were told only in Spanish. Furthermore, there were problems with safety: only small life vests and although there were stairs on the boat, for some reason they didnt want us to use them so getting to and from boat was not easy if you are not 17-year-old flexible girl like the tour guide. It really felt they dont care about the customers at all. So I fell and hurt myself :/
