Holbox Travel - 77310 Holbox

Prompt service

I would highly recommend for anyone already staying on the Island of Holbox and regardless if you do choose to do the tour this is the group to do it with. They communicated well, the tour was relaxed and on time, we got to see all we were promised and the whole time it was clear they knew what they were doing and they wanted to do their best to make sure everyone had a great time.

We booked the 3 islands boat tour, 12.30pm-4pm. It's not a tour we would personally recommend. We were advised that we would be told of collection time from hotel 7.30pm night before. We were chasing them the morning of to find out what time we would be collected as we did not receive any communication. We had thought we booked on with an English speaking tour guide, the captain couldn't speak English, but by the end of the tour we realised it wasn't a problem because all we were doing was being driven from tiny island to island to see birds which we had seen all over Holbox anyway. On the first stop though, we were taken to a cenote - very basic - especially after some of the beautiful cenote's we've already been to. Not only this but there was a crocodile right outside of the cenote. As we walked through, there is water connecting where the crocodile was to the cenote. The guides say that the crocodiles don't go into the cenote because of the noise, but they're wild animals after all. All in all it was basically a nice boat ride but nothing more. No refreshments, nothing that interesting and to end the tour, we didn't have someone waiting to take us back to our hotel - we walked.

We booked a boat tour, three stops, 3.5-4 Hours, transport from and back to the hotel included. We do not recommend it. Complications with hotel pick up, after the tour we were told to get a taxi, the boat captain did not know anything about incl. transportation on land. The spots were okay. One was at a Cenote, which was nice, but nobody on board (three couples) was aware that there was an extra fee to get it in. Alternatively one had to wait by the boat for 45 minutes. All in all 2.5 hours sitting on a small boat to see not very special birds, a Cenote close to Chequila, and a nice small island with less birds. There was no tour guide for additional information on board.
