What people are saying about Isla Holbox

Great speedboat trip to the beautiful islands off the coast of Mexico with the very nice and funny guide Carlos. The highlight of our vacation in Mexico! Positive: - Visit to the Isla de la Pasión, Punta Mosquito, as a highlight Holbox and then visit to the Yalahau Lagoon in a mangrove forest - Small groups on the boat - Lunch on the boat included - Sufficient water (alternatively also beer) included - Very good organization Cons: - Only short stay (about 2 hours) on Holbox

The bus picked us up in front of the hotel at the exact time. The bus had restrooms and usb charging. We went to 2 different beaches (isla pasion and punta mosquito). We had lunch on the boat. We had cold juice , water and beers several times during the day. We had the choice between 2 free hours in Holbox or following the guide. We ended up with the cenote Yalahau. It was a good well organized day.

Even if the weather was not ok, our guide did everything he could to give us a nice experience . Highly recommended!

Super relaxed tour, with a wonderful starry sky at the beginning and a breathtaking sunrise in the mangroves!

Wonderful tour, the guide and all the crew were perfect !
