We had a great time visiting Holbox, the views were incredible, and the baths were a blast. Thanks to Genaro for this visit - The views were amazing, the excursion was 10 thanks to Genaro the guide and the group that we formed on the tour. The food and bathing in beaches and cenotes are a delight

Amazing trip on magical island - Thoroughly enjoyed this trip! We were debating booking this given it is quite far from where we are staying in Tulum but I am so glad we did! The coach journey is fine and we had the chance to stop off at a garage to top up with snacks and suncream. The speedboat was super fun and they let us put our own drinks in the coolbox. We stopped at Isla passion, punta mosquito and holbox downtown which were all absolutely stunning and Jonathan was a great guide. We took him up on his recommendation to try holbox ice cream and it was great! Would 100% recommend this excursion for anyone staying in Quintana Roo!

Do not miss it! - WOW! This TOUR
One of the best experiences, together with my husband we had a great time, Holbox became one of my favorite places! The cenotes are wonderful (I attach evidence). The attention of our guides Arianna and Arturo was incredible, 1000% recommended.

Mexican love - Delighted with our guide, GENARO. FUN, friendly, and we had an impromptu karaoke on the bus back to the hotel. A 10.
Very delicious local food.
We do not give 5 stars because there may be a little more time to enjoy the beach.

Big disappointment! - The weather was bad but the exit was maintained. As a result we were frozen without the possibility of drying up! The sea was gray like the sky like sandbanks. Nothing to do with the crystal clear images of the site. All for three pink flamingos! We ran out of gas in the open sea ... back to the “port” very slowed down. Lunch in a place filled with mosquitoes was nothing extraordinary. A drink a dish bar! This is a big disappointment considering the price paid. 1h30 wasted on the way to pick up other hotel guests and the same on the way back: more time spent by uncomfortable coach than visiting Holbox! The excursion had to be in English but the majority of the present were Hispanic so all the explanations were in Spanish with vague translation in English!! If the weather seems bad I strongly advise against this excursion.
