Be part or the adventure and enjoy Holbox!

These are a few tours we like in Holbox. We can help you get in touch with trustworthy operators or we can book the tours for you. In some cases we get better prices than contacting directly with the operators. All tours must be paid in cash

Whale shark tour

All whale shark tours offer pretty much the same product. It´s a 7h. tour (aprox) and you do some bird-watching and snorkeling on the way. The main difference for a good experience are the guide, the crew and the boat. Price rango you can find on the island go from 2.500 to 3.500 MXN/person. We personally know a local young guy who works as a guide in one of the boats and he is very professional. If you plan to do this tour our recommendation would be with him. He is available to give you all the details about the tour and answer all your questions.

2700MXN per person

Mangrove Tour / Mangrove Sunset Tour

Paddle through the mangroves where the landscapes and the wildlife are the main attractions. A 3-hour/8km guided tour, enjoy the birdwatching (flamingos*, ospreys, ibis, herons, egrets, and much more). The first part is a 1km trip close to the sandbar, then you’ll go to the entrance (Rio Kuka) to start a 6km circuit into the hearth of the mangroves channels. In the middle of the circuit, there’s a break for hydration.

You will find many companies offering the kayak tour. We personally know the guide of Holbox Extreme, Alberto, and he is a very cool guy and knows a lot about animals and nature. It is not the cheapest company but it has the best reviews on google. Our recommendation would be with him. We could get you a 10% discount over the prices shown on their website

There is a cheaper operator we can help you book with, Azul Tourquesa, they are good too but we haven´t done the tour with them so we don´t know the guides.

Paddle through bioluminescence!

All the kayak tours our recommendation would be with Alberto from Holboxextreme, but Azul Tourquesa would be also an okay and cheaper tour. We could get you a 10% discount over the prices shown on Holbox Extreme website

Paddling through the BIOLUMINESCENCE with a sky full of stars, you’ll arrive at the famous sandbar of the island. There, you can walk and play with the water, watching it glow. Then your guide will show you amazing constellations, planets, stars, and satellites.
