  • 5Nice Kajaktrip

    We were at the kajaktour and liked it very much. The tourguide was on time, nice and had experience in this area. We saw a lot of birds, flamingos and a crocodile. All in all we were three hours on the water and the price was fair.

  • 5Amazing Sunrise Kayaking Experience!

    Our sunrise kayaking trip through the mangroves was absolutely beautiful! Diego was our guide, and he was wonderful from beginning to end. Being out on the water early in the morning and watching the sunrise while kayaking through the mangroves was such a peaceful experience. We saw so much wildlife along the way, including lots of flamingos, many different birds, and even a small crocodile! Seeing the flamingos out in their natural environment was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The current on the way back was extremely strong, but Diego made sure we were safe and able to make it back. When I was having trouble paddling against the current, he even put me in his kayak and made sure I got back safely. I really appreciated how attentive and patient he was. Diego also brought snacks and water for us, which were definitely appreciated after all that paddling! The sunrise, mangroves, wildlife, and especially the flamingos made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Diego, for taking such great care of us and making sure we had such an amazing morning! 🌅🛶🦩🐊

  • 5Best kayaking experience in Holbox

    The kayaking experience was truly amazing. The guide, Diego, was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the fauna and flora and ecosystem we visited. I was amazed by all the flamingos we saw and just by the experience as a whole. The early morning wake up was so worth it. If I could, I would do it again! Strongly recommend.

  • 5Great experience

    It was a perfect experience. I recommend the morning tour, since the sunrise, calm water and awaking nature provides a perfect setting and start for the tour. Gustavo was a perfect tour guide explaining everything in a calm and competent manner.

    Very nice and learning experience for us. I have never manage a kayak and it does require a lost s of coordination, but we managed to handle it. The guide was very helpful, knowledgeable, helpful, knowledgeable and took his job seriously. He made sure the group stayed together and safe. It was relaxing morning to see the sunrise and flamingos and other birds species. I recommend this tour.

  • 5Our experience with Diego...

    Our experience with Diego our guide was amazing. He speaks French/English/Spanish very well (we are French) and is very kind ! He gave us lots of informations about the island and the animals we were seeing. We saw flamants rose, raies, hérons, crocodiles. He came pick us at the hotel and drop us back. We were a bit afraid about mosquitos (morning tour) and none, even in the mangrove so it was perfect ! We fully recommand this experience !!

About Isla Holbox

Isla Holbox is a car-free sand island off the north coast of the Yucatán peninsula, with shallow turquoise water, flamingos and whale sharks in summer.

Isla Holbox lies off the northern tip of the Yucatán peninsula in Quintana Roo, separated from the mainland by a shallow lagoon and reached by a short ferry crossing from the village of Chiquilá. The streets are made of sand, and golf carts and bicycles take the place of cars. Colourful murals cover the walls of the small town, and a long beach of pale sand and warm shallow water runs along the island.
