amazing experience fishing in holbox - Of the best experiences on the island, I highly recommend the fishing tour. Captain Cristian and guide Jony were super professional and provided us with a wonderful and amazing experience! The fish kept coming out and not only that, we saw different types of varieties of animals, such as flamingos and dolphins. At the end of the fishing we went to a beautiful spot on the island, where we took a dip while the Christian capital prepared the freshest and most delicious ceviche I ever ate, which we enjoyed with a few beers and non-alcoholic drinks that included the tour. 10/10, I would definitely choose them again for another Holbox activity.

Brutal fishing experience - We had an amazing experience on our Holbox fishing day. Our guide, Cristian, was spectacular, friendly, patient and very experienced. He taught us a lot of things during the day and also prepared with fishing the best ceviche we have tasted throughout the trip. The fishing was great, they kept getting fish and we even managed to catch a shark!

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!
