        I had a great time in Holbox.
        I had a wonderful experience guided by Johny, where I truly immersed myself in the breathtaking beauty of nature. The landscapes were stunning, filled with vibrant colors and enchanting sights that left me in awe.

        Kayak Holbox
        Johnny was amazing! His love of the mangroves and the wildlife surrounding the park was evident. He answered all our questions and his hospitality was second to none

        Lovely experience :)
        Lovely experience and well organised. Sky was breathtaking and guide had solid knowledge of the constellations which he showed us. Able to see some bioluminescence too, despite being off season.

        Bioluminescential in Holbox
        It was one of the most interesting experiences we had in our lives. Getting picked up by an ATV to go to the meeting point and seeing all the stars following with a kayak ride to a sand band offshore with a bunch of other couples was amazing. Once we arrived at the sand band we jumped off from our kayaks and walked in the water half way our bodies and received information about bioluminescence and experienced the phenomenon on site. Highly recommended activity as this is something that you cannot easily do on your own.

        Kayak to a bioluminescence area and see the cool stuff.
        The staff and activity were great! We had no idea what to expect, but what a delightful adventure!! We kayaked out, saw the cool sights, and then kayaked back. The time of year for the bioluminescence was not the best (I take it, but the stars were BEAUTIFUL).

        Good way to spend a few hours
        Just as described. The trip is compact and it's good that you can go after breakfast and return by lunch. Our belgian guide was very friendly. There was some waiting before we got going and we were put on to some wrong boat first but no big deal. Isla Pajaros was nice if you like seeing all kind of birds. We even saw an osprey. Isla Pasion was not that interesting. Less wildlife and you can wade on the small beach. The third stop was in the mainland so it's strange to call this a three island tour. Nevertheless, the Yalahau lagoon was a nice place although it was not an actual cenote despite advertised as such in the description. We saw some lizards and raccoons and it was refreshing to swim in the fresh water pond.

        Wonderful day out!
        Fantastic experience and great value. This trip was a great way to see some of the further islands and get an idea of the size of Holbox. Friendly guide and a fast boat. We caught lots of fish and the ceviche was delicious.

        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!

        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.

        Sparkle in the ocean
        It was an amazing tour where we got to Kanu in the ocean and see the beautiful bioluminescent lights up close. The transportation from A to B was very smooth and the guide was amazing and took great pictures!!

        Mangroves Tour and Bioluminescence Tour
        Jony was our guide for both the Kayak mangroves tour and the bioluminescent tour and it was amazing. He took the time to answer our questions and explain the history behind it.

      Best traditional fishing I have ever entertained. Our guide Jonathan was not only knowledgeable, he was clear and profesional with all his instructions. Captain Tomas was where we needed to be always, on the Fish!
      Not only did we catch the fish, they went the extra mile and set up a feast in a local restaurant for us to enjoy the bounty.
      Hands down a must when visiting Holbox!

      Booked English speaking guide, got a guy who can say hello in english, that's about it.
      He picked us up in front of our hotel, drop off was at the port.
      First of all, you need to know it is not a deep/sports fishing trip, which I thought would be. We caught 6-8 fish, none bigger than 8 in. That was kinda disappointing considering every trip we go we catch big, deep ocean fish.
      This would be a 3 star review for experience, but giving 4 because the guide made a really good ceviche! Like one of the best ones I had in my life!

      The tour was amazing.
      We were able to see dolphins, we had good fishing, and we had a great time.
      The captain was a gem. He made a delicious ceviche, one of the best I have ever tasted.

      This tour exceeded all our expectations. The fishing was exciting and the ceviche we prepared on the beach was the best I have ever tasted. The Xtreme Holbox team did their best to make sure we had a perfect day."
