Amazing morning in the mangroves - Amazing experience, we had a group of 4 people in 2 kayaks. So it was really private and a great way to learn about the mangroves. Diego, our tour guide was the best! Could not imagine a better tour guide. He knew everything about everything and tought us so much abiut the nature in the mangroves. Also, Diego kind of resbled a young Captain Jack Sparrow 😅

Recommended tour to relax - The tour was very good, in a very quiet area of the island, away from everything. We saw many animals and even saw crocodiles. Our guide Diego was super friendly, took all our doubts about the tour and about the island as well. Recommended!

Excellent excursion with Manuel Enrique - Super excursion with Manuel Enrique. We had a great time. You can tell he is a guide with a lot of passion for the natural environment and the reserve. He was also very attentive with us to take pictures or we wanted him.

We loved the Holbox Mangrove Tour - We really enjoyed the tour of the mangroves. We saw many birds and also two crocodiles. Our guide, Manuel Enrique, knew a lot about the area and explained everything super well. In addition, he brought drinks and snacks, something that is appreciated during the walk.

Nice guide Enrique, - Our experience is 2-part. The guide Enrique was great, explained a lot and showed he was very helpful and very friendly 10* for him.
Why we only give 3 stars: since I have already done other mangrove tours, there was little to see. Some birds and 2-3 baby crocodiles. We were disappointed about that. We also expected, as I have already experienced, that you would drive into narrower channels.
Had we not had the super friendly guide Enrique, the disappointment would have been even greater.
Pick up at the hotel works great and on time and you will also be taken back to the hotel v
