Fun, saw a ton, enough time and was able to make some memories
We feel that we have wasted a lot of time in the gatherings of the tour participants and then the useful time of visit is scarce. It's all very busy, we have 25 to 30 minutes at each stop on the islands, where we really wanted to stay longer. You can just take some pictures and get back to the boat. No time to relax. And then we got 2 hours of free time in the town of Holbox, which has not much to see and where the beach is not so beautiful nor has shadows. We also found it poorly organized, very confused, with many boats belonging to the same group and the same guide.
It took a lil over four yes four hours in the bus to get there. It would have been nice to know about the frequent and out of the way stops. We are currently in the bus back to our hotel as I write this. We left at 5:30 and it is currently 9:06 and still have about 40 minutes to get to our hotel. My family is frustrated as I am.
Crystal clear waters, Nature and Mood care. Excellent attention especially from the guide Mawi and his team.
Hola Evar, Qué gusto leer tu reseña. Nos emociona que el recorrido y nuestro guía Mawi hayan hecho que tu día fuera tan agradable. ¡Gracias por recomendarnos!
Got picked up on time at 6am and had to wait for all the other late passengers so we didn’t actually set of till 10am.All the activities was very rushed and we didn’t get the time at each destination as stated.45 mins at cenote,30 mins at passion island,30 mins mosquito island(sand bar)and 2 hours in Holbox.Very long trip for the time spent at each destination.Food was average.Tour guide was friendly.
It was windy that morning. Our tour guide told us that it is not safe to take a small boat. Plan B was to take a ferry to Holbox. Thank you for thinking about our safety. The ferry was fun, only 15min to Holbox. We drove a scooter to Mosquito beach. It was very good experienced. Our tour guide was always there if we need any questions. We had fun in this tour.
Magnificent excursion but a shame that the departure was poorly organized. The colors of the water are magnificent. We also saw a group of pink flamingos.
We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with us, and we truly appreciate your positive review! Your feedback is valuable and helps us aim for perfection. We look forward to the opportunity to make your next experience with us even more amazing!
I was looking forward to this tour but unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. The transportation was seamless and bit long but I felt like time wasn’t long enough on Passion island (30min) and we never saw Punta Mosquito. You will take some beautiful pics I promise but maybe a little more guidance on what to do in Holbox would have been nice. So here’s my advice maybe take a tour that has less stops so you can enjoy the different locations. The staff was very nice and wonderful just need some better planning. Food at the restaurant they gave us was good.
Hello Carolyn We would like to thank you for your comments, as it helps us to improve our service. We are sorry to hear that the estimated time at each destination was a bit disappointing, but we would like to remind you that the staff guys have a certain estimated time for the tour, however we try to make sure that you visit the places. We hope to see you on another date so you can come with us to experience the Mexican Caribbean. Have a great day!
Long, boring day. 2 hours on a bus to a tiny cenote. Had a few drinks at the bar, then back to the bus. A short boat ride to passion island, which is not the same beautiful passion island we had been to years before. This was a shallow area of water to walk around for about 30 minutes and see some birds. Another short boat ride to Holbox Island. Next was a 10 minute fast paced walk to the restaurant on the other side of the island. Lunch was okay, but very small servings. The kids were starving and we had to go to another restaurant to eat again after. We had a few hours of free time, which we planned to spend at the beach, but it was very windy and cold. Probably due to the time of year though. We went to a bar and got some appetizers for the kids. We decided to take a “taxi” back to the port to take the boat back and then another 2 hour ride back to Playa del Carmen. We all agreed we should have spent the day at our resort instead and saved a ton of money,
Hello Jennifer First of all we would like to thank you for your comments, which will help us to improve our service. We would like to clarify one point and that is that Holbox is 3 and a half hours away from Playa del Carmen, the destination where your pick up was. As for your visit to the island during the winter season, the wind and cold are issues that are not in our hands to control. We appreciate your understanding, have a nice day.
We thought about it for a long time and then decided on this not so cheap tour. On top of that, we were picked up from Tulum and had to travel for a long time. BUT it was really worth it. The cenote is one of the less spectacular in Mexico but very welcome as a way to cool off. But what followed was really so beautiful! Isla de la pasion, punta mosquito and Holbox are breathtakingly beautiful! Really. If you are nearby and haven't planned a stop on Holbox anyway, do the tour! The food was also super delicious! The icing on the cake was that we saw dolphins on one of the speedboat rides. But even without this experience, the tour would have been totally worth it. Our guide spoke Spanish, English, Italian and French. Absolutely fluent. Unfortunately I can't remember his name but he was great! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
