A fantastic fantastic must do experince - It was a fantastic experience. And it was well worth the money to rent a private boat. The crew was fantastic. They were very engaging and helpful. They made it a really easy and low stress experience. The boat was clean and comfortable. The best part is they have larger engines than other boats in the fleet. So we were able to get out to the whale shark areas much faster, We arrived before any other boats made it. So we had some time where we were the only ones engaging the fish. The whole organization is very professional and very well run. The ceviche they made for us on the beach was one of our best lunches ever. Willi, the owner, has done a great job, putting together the combination of great personnel, good equipment, and a very well run organization.

Don’t miss out! - This was an amazing tour that you won’t want to miss. Our captain, Jorge, and guide, Gustavo, were very knowledgeable, clearly cared about the protected habitats, and a lot of fun to be around. The areas we explored were beautiful and it was our favorite part of our visit to Holbox. Gracias!

An Excellent Customized Boat Tour - We were greeted at the cute little yellow house and even though we were early, we left within 10 minutes of our arrival. Willy was our guide - he was English speaking. As this was a private tour, we told Willy we were really mostly interested in bird watching. Willy was very knowledgeable about the area as well as birds (we were very lucky!). Willy and the boat driver were an amazing team. I would highly recommend. On a side note, we got to see a very rare green pigmy kingfisher! I think that was the highlight of Willy's day too!

A Highlight of Our Trip To Holbox - We had an incredible time on our boat trip with Gustavo Dos and Jorge. We were out for over three hours, and they really gave us as much time as we wanted to spend at each stop during the tour. Both were so knowledgable about all of the wildlife we encountered and we walked away from the trip having learnt so much more about the island than when we started. We saw over 20 different types of birds, including pink flamingos! We even saw a crocodile basking in the sun (from far enough away). We would 100% recommend VIP Holbox and any of their tours or guides to someone visiting the island. The team there is kind, knowledgable, and passionate about this special island. We're so glad we booked this trip.

Wildlife galore! - We had a great day with our guide and were able to see flamingos, iguanas, dolphins, rays and all sorts of other wildlife. We loved swimming in the fresh waters of Yalahau and exploring Punta Mosquito. Memories for a lifetime.

3 Island Tour - This boat trip was great. Our tour guide Eddie showed us pink flamingos, swimming dolphins, and many other different types of birds and marine animals. We even swam in a fresh water spring. I would highly recommend this trip.

Worth it! - A great way to experience Isla Holbox and the surrounds. Eddie was our Captain, he was welcoming, had a wealth of knowledge and was happy for us to explore in our own time. Highly recommend for those who want to tour without large groups. Thanks Eddie for a great day!
