Fantastic adventure off the beaten path!

Jaime led us on a great adventure—instead of rocking it with the drunken party boats in the crowded touristy canals, we had a fabulous cruise through less populated waterways where we got to see how living on the islands of Xocimiloc was all about. we saw a large variety of water birds up close, especially large white egrets. We had a great stop on one island where we got to handle axolotls and learn about their life cycle. Jaime and his pilot made sure we had delicious guacamole and chips, a nice bottle of tequila, and never-ending beers, let us hook up to their speaker so we enjoyed our own music, and even let us pilot the boat when we asked (it was hard and we sucked at it!). The Haunted Doll Island exceeded expectations! Fabulously creepy, artistic, and delightful. We could have spent days exploring each individual doll, and Don Julio’s house was a highlight. If you want something different, special, and memorable this is the tour for you.

Spooky Island of the Dolls

We had a really fun adventure on this trip. The spooky Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco is definitely a one time experience only seen here. Our host Jimmy and our rower were the best - answering all of our questions (in english), helping with all our needs (snacks, water, tequila), and bringing lots of big smiles! I wish the ride back was a little faster - but I guess we should have asked. Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience.

Operator response
