This was a highlight of our time in Holbox. 100% worth it and our guide Victor Hugo was excellent and super informative. We actually ended up doing the sunrise kayaking as the sunset kayaking was cancelled due to poor weather but Victor Hugo was really helpful in keeping us informed and rearranging it for us. Beautiful scenery, peaceful surroundings, seeing some crocodiles and an early morning workout, perfect.

truly an experience of the nature around Holbox and how life is lived in harmony with it. Holbox, the many picturesque streets and shops. The beautiful sea and the boat trip with a total of 4 stops. The lunch on the water was wonderful, relaxing.
