Amazing experience! - We had an excellent sunrise tour with Diego! We were fortunate to see a crocodile. Diego was knowledgeable of the wildlife and the mangrove trees and provided great information throughout the tour. Highly recommend!

Great unique experience! - We dacgted the 3 island tour to do, but were honestly pointed out that that is not the best time for, and kayaking probably went better. Had a great tour, we were 2 and the enthusiastic Carlos has taken extensive time to tell us all about the animals we saw. His experience is genuine and infectious! Flamingos, rays, crocodiles and countless birds. The serene tranquility in the mangroves and the beautiful surroundings are a great contrast to the tourist village holbox, the experience of this tour takes it to an even higher level. Bring muskito spray or long sleeves when the sun goes down!

Worth it 100%! - Despite challenging circumstances (common on Holbox in the rain season), Diego made sure we got to the location safely and on time. The kayaking itself was wonderful, sunrise, wildlife (including different groups of beautiful flamengos, a crocodile and many bird species) and total peace. Diego made the difference but a helpful, relaxed and very informative approach!

Unforgettable experience! - Diego is a passionate, warm and available guide. He took the time to show us the mangrove and its treasures during the tour. We very much appreciated that it adapts to our pace, without rushing. The views of the excursion are sublime, especially at sunrise. Thanks again Diego!

Breathtaking, just enough adventure and great guide! - An amazing tour! Yes this is Holbox, there are tides and in the rainy seasons roads may be flooded. But Diego was very realistic and accommodating to make the best out of the “adventure” in getting to the ATV. The kayaking itself was first of all relaxed, no stress and respectful to everyone. The sights were not simply ticking boxes but Diego knew where to look for the most beautiful and impressive wildlife. Hence we spotted (various) flamengos, a crocodile and many birds. The sceneries were breathtaking, a visit to Holbox would not be complete without this tour. And I can’t imagine anyone better to do this with than with Diego.

Perfect Morning on Isla Holbox - I don’t usually write reviews, but if you’re visiting Isla Holbox, this tour is a must. Despite flooded roads making access to our hotel difficult, our guide picked up up early in the morning, took us on the tour, and dropped us back in time for breakfast :) We paddled out around 6.00am and saw flamingoes, herons, pelicans, mangroves and a whole host of other animals native to the island. Thanks Daego for giving us a trip I’m sure I’ll remember for the rest of my life

Highly recommended - Carlos was an amazing guide! He explained in much details about the nature! The way back was a bit more difficult to kayak but it is manageable.
