Ojo de agua is a large natural pool where fresh water flows, surrounded by plants, trees and shrubs, which you can see from the highest point of the viewpoint located here. - Isla De La Pasion - Isla Pasión is a small islet that is 10 minutes from Holbox by boat. It is said that it was the corner of lovers and hence the name. It is the ideal place to enjoy virgin beaches, the sun and the sea; for its calm atmosphere and its tropical adventure space, far from civilization.
- Isla Pajaros - One of the most beautiful and peaceful places that surround Holbox is Isla Pajaros, just 30 minutes away and where you can observe the great variety of birds that inhabit it, many in danger of extinction, for which spaces have been placed dedicated to its protection and conservation. Among the species that you will admire are flamingos, pelicans, ducks and others, all of them in their natural environment and without ties because they are in total freedom.

We really enjoyed our tour with Daniella! - We really enjoyed our tour with Daniella! She was an excellent guide. We never felt rushed and all of the sights were beautiful. We even were lucky enough to see a flamingo off in the distance!

Very fun! - Daniella was such a fabulous tour guide in both spirit and knowledge of thr area. It was noted in some of the reviews that the tour guides english wasn't great for it being a bilingual tour, but that was not our experience. Yalahau was a trip-enriching experience and the biodiversity seen on Isla de pasíon was a true marvel. Sadly, we were unable to go to Isla de pajaros and instead went to Punta Mosquito. My understanding is this change was made because the other tour guide and caption didn't speak English and we had requested a bilingual tour. It all worked out and we saw some flamingos at Isla de pasion, but it was an unexpected change we had no control over. Overall I would recommend this company, we had a great day and a wonderful experience.

Amazing. - We have done the 3 island and whale shark tours so far and they have been amazing! We have seen perfectly the whale shark, dolphins, turtles, ray mantas and fish of all kinds. An unforgettable experience. Cape Catoche feeds you ceviche made at the moment and is very delicious. And the final part of the mangrove tour is also very worth it, you can see many different birds. We liked it a lot

Johnny and Luis were awesome! - Johnny and Luis were great guides. They picked us up at our hotel as scheduled. They shared a lot of interesting information with us about the islands we visited. It was an enjoyable tour and a great way to see some areas we wouldn’t be able to reach without a boat. Very friendly crew and a relaxing way the spend the morning.

Incorrectly titled but nonetheless worthwhile - This is ideal if you want a relaxing way to spend a few hours of an afternoon pootling round in a speedboat and soaking up the tropical vibe of Holbox. The visit to the cenote was the highlight, the other stops felt a bit pointless - not enough time to explore properly and you couldn't go very far anyway. But the guides were very knowledgeable and it was interesting to learn something of the history. There's quite a bit of jumping in and out of the boat which might be tricky for those with mobility issues and there is no transfer back to your hotel at the end so make sure you know how to get back!

3 Island Tour Disappoints, Except Cenote - Boat operator not very friendly. Cenote was great, isla Pasion was very brief and Isla Pajaros was missed altogether. It all seemed so rushed and impersonal.

I would, recommend the tour, but not the operation. - Firstly, the three islands boat tour DIDN'T have three islands included. We only had one island, Isla De La Pasion. The cenote was on the mainland of Mexico, and the last stop was a beach further up the coast of Holbox island.
The cenote itself was man-made, not natural (even though there are many in Mexico) and it was dirty as there was no fresh water like a natural cenote. Yes, the added cost was MXN$100 as at Dec 2024.
The tour claims to be bilingual although the 'guide' only spoke Spanish, so we didn't learn anything about the local areas, and he didn't attempt to tell us anything either, apart from the season had ended for flamingos, so we didn't see any.
