Beautiful journey - Julie was an amazing and enthusiastic guide who went above and beyond to make us all comfortable and informed. Our morning group tour turned into a private one for our family (me and two teen girls) which was a nice surprise to have a small boat all to ourselves. The captain was kind. We appreciated how they circled back a bit once to pick up some trash floating in the ocean. Their love of Holbox shined through. We loved the cenote most but all stops are great. Good to be pointed to the cheapest empanadas in town at the end. Loved! Only felt bad that the ATM was out of order nearby that morning and we didn’t have the cash handy to tip better.

Fun way to experience the highlights of Isla Holbox - We really enjoyed our tour today. I felt like it was a great introduction to the diverse ecosystem of Yum Balam nature reserve. Our tour guide, David, did a great job of pointing out the highlights. We got to swim in refreshing spring waters, take a scenic walk on a sand bar and even see pink flamingos. Recommended!

David is the best! - We truely enjoyed our tour in a very private setting. We were just with three people in total on a lovely small boat. Our tourguide David was a gem! Very enthousastic & engaging. He spoke very good English, was full of information and funny. We loved our tour very much. And didn't think it would be this fun, because a lot of tourist do the same toue, nut David managed to make it special and unique.

Tres Islas was a hit! - We did the Tres Islas tour with David. He was lovely and gave us lots of good information about the three places we visited. It's a lovely way to see more of the area and do something different. Very happy we went. And we got closer to the flamingos than we did on the whale shark tour, which was a pleasant surprise.

Excellent guide, relaxing and beautiful experience - We loved this trip with David as our guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. The highlight was definitely the swim in the fresh water spring on the mainland. Lots of wildlife and overall good value.

Nice tour guide, but not worth it - Not worth it. Nice guide, but the stops were underwhelming and easily done solo. This felt like one of the few activities available in Holbox, so my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The lagoon was really nice but we didn’t spend much time there. We also visited Mosquito Beach, which was pretty, but you definitely don’t need a tour to go there. Bird Island was underwhelming and not worth the stop. Our tour guide was very friendly, which we appreciated, but overall, the 3-island tour just didn’t feel worth it.
