1.Holbox Island Full Day Trip with Lunch From Playa del Carmen

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 212 reviews · 12 to 13 hours (approx.) Our pick

Full-day Holbox trip from Playa del Carmen with Yum Balam boat tour, bird watching at Isla Pasión, and lunch on Holbox.

“My best friend and I had fun. She does have walking issues and we needed to get a taxi to get around once we were on the island.

They rely on tourism to support them and what they do. July is super hot, so be prepared. Unfortunately, I only speak English and our tour guides English was hard to understand. We had one guy on our tour from Austria that was completely hammered when he returned to the…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) Top rated

Holbox by boat and golf cart from Playa del Carmen, with Punta Mosquito nature time, beach-club lunch, open bar, and free time in town.

“Holbox, the beach club and the golf buggy drive was great. The transport to and from the resort however was really poor. The minivan was massively cramped we were squeezed into what was nothing more than a modified parcel shelf with about 6 inches of space with no way to get you legs in. Absolute joke. For a 2 hour journey this was just not acceptable. The driver did his best to get there quickly but unfortunately got pulled over for speeding . The final problem was that the boat engine broke down on the way back and they had to send a rescue boat out for us. After that…”

Our tour guide was very knowledgable and did not press or mention tips which made us feel at ease, we are happy to tip but were feeling a bit fed up of feeling pressured by other tour guides/street sellers. Our tour guide mentioned conversation he has been a tour guide for over 9 years and throughly enjoys his job as he gets to travel as part of this. The fact he enjoys his job made us enjoy the experience so much more”

The tour guy Arturo was great and the rest of his group as well, little inconvenience with some people who didn’t want to visit just the Island but luckily Arturo was professional enough to convinced them that the rest of the people who traveled from far away to see Holbox and so happy we saw it. In our group was people who came from the Netherlands, England Canada and myself from Argentina. My gratitude to Arturo and his team!”
