Really enjoyed the three island tour! Willy was an excellent guide, born and raised in Holbox and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend booking and requesting him!

Super nice Tour! Very friendly guide dropping few interesting information but not too much. He did not expect any tip as it is forced in Mexico for every shit from the tourists. Unfortunately there was no possibility to give him some but he would have deserved it. Super scheduled tour, perfect mix of shipping and visiting the destinations. In 3-4 the tour is neither stressful nor includes unnecessary waiting. Enjoyed every minute! Thank you!

Allan is learning, however I am sure he will shine once he gets his groove! Willy was there to give his recommendations, so I’m sure they will be fine! I totally recommend this trip as it is as explained, get to see three of the jewels of Holbox in 3hrs. We were lucky that Punta Mosquito had the right conditions to visit, as it was my main goal to visit, however, only after I paid I noticed that if the weather conditions are not good, they take you to another island. The boat is nice and comfortable, it is safe for all ages (there was a 5 and 84 year old) and great value for what you get!
