Isla Holbox 2026 Calendar of Events

Our sunrise kayaking trip through the mangroves was absolutely beautiful! Diego was our guide, and he was wonderful from beginning to end. Being out on the water early in the morning and watching the sunrise while kayaking through the mangroves was such a peaceful experience.We saw so much wildlife along the way, including lots of flamingos, many different birds, and even a small crocodile! Seeing the flamingos out in their natural environment was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.The current on the way back was extremely strong, but Diego made sure we were safe and able to make it back. When I was having trouble paddling against the current, he even put me in his kayak and made sure I got back safely. I really appreciated how attentive and patient he was.Diego also brought snacks and water for us, which were definitely appreciated after all that paddling!The sunrise, mangroves, wildlife, and especially the flamingos made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Diego, for taking such great care of us and making sure we had such an amazing morning! 🌅🛶🦩🐊

The bioluminescence and stargazing tour was absolutely amazing! Gustavo was our guide, and he made the entire experience even more special. He made sure we never felt rushed and gave us plenty of time to enjoy everything while explaining what we were seeing along the way.Seeing the bioluminescence made me feel like a little kid again. It was so incredible watching the water light up around us—it is something you really have to experience in person to appreciate.The stargazing was just as amazing. Gustavo pointed out the different constellations and explained what we were looking at, and we were even able to see the Milky Way! The sky was absolutely breathtaking.Unfortunately, pictures just cannot capture how beautiful this experience really is. Even the light from a cell phone changes your ability to see everything the way it is meant to be seen. Put the phone away, let your eyes adjust to the darkness, and just take it all in.This was truly one of those experiences we will never forget. Thank you, Gustavo, for making it so memorable! ⭐🌌✨

The kayaking experience was truly amazing. The guide, Diego, was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the fauna and flora and ecosystem we visited. I was amazed by all the flamingos we saw and just by the experience as a whole. The early morning wake up was so worth it. If I could, I would do it again! Strongly recommend.

Amazing experience! Never kayaked before and everyone was patient with me thankfully lol, the tour guide was very insightful as well, highly recommend!

It was an incredible experience. Both Edier and Jorge were very kind and made the excursion much more incredible! The ceviche was very delicious! Without a doubt I will return 🙏🏾✨🫶🏾 THANK YOU

It was an unforgettable experience; seeing the fluorescent lights when the kayak hit the sea made me experience something I had only seen in animated movies. And the additional information about the stars was very interesting. My wife and I really enjoyed it a lot. We had seen bioluminescence in another way, but this time it was something totally magical. Important to use mosquito repellent.

Without a doubt, the best experience of my life, not only for being next to the whale shark, but because thanks to Willy, who accompanied us on the swim, and to Lisandro, the captain, everything was easier and more beautiful. They explained everything to us with great care, accompanied by breakfast, and answered all our doubts and questions about what we were seeing, where we were passing through, curiosities, etc. The sea was calm, but even so I recommend taking motion sickness pills, because it is a long time of travel and seasickness can ruin your day. We also had the opportunity to snorkel at Cabo Catoche and eat a delicious ceviche in the mangrove, where we were able to see many different animal species. The tour does not include photos or videos, but Willy took them for us and gave us his contact information so we could see them later, a detail that is appreciated. I would repeat it a thousand and one times with them and I will recommend it to everyone who travels to Holbox. Thank you, Willy and Lisandro, for making us live the best experience of our lives! Expectations more than exceeded ☺️

This was one of the most beautiful and incredible experience to have I loved it so much that I booked it twice. it is so magical the Stars above you will put you in complete awe of the universe and the bioluminescence water is like having the Galaxy in your hands. if you're lucky enough you will get Adrian as your guide he is incredible a 10 out of 10Fue una de las experiencias más hermosas e increíbles que he vivido; me gustó tanto que la reservé dos veces. Es algo mágico: las estrellas sobre ti te dejan maravillado ante la inmensidad del universo, y el agua bioluminiscente es como tener la galaxia en tus manos. Si tienes suerte, te tocará Adrian como guía; es increíble, un 10 de 10.

The admin team were incredibly helpful with assisting my booking, very well organised to ensure I had correct booking and boat tick aswell!

Excellent activity. Jesus is a nice and great instructor with the most gorgeous setting to practice paddle work. I am not a young person but it was great to learn a new water activity.

First - Julian at HB Travels was amazing and very helpful.Eco Adventure Holbox had great guides, they were on time, professional and fun!!

It is a wonderful, unique, and different experience. Our guide was knowledgeable in explaining how this natural phenomenon occurs.

Enrique was amazing we saw so much- crocs, flamingoes and loads of amazing birds. What an experience

The pick up was at 3 AM since it is seen better due to the zero lighting. It is totally worth it. The stars look wonderful. The only annoying thing is the mosquitoes.

We had a fantastic tour of the mangroves with Axel. It started with a peaceful morning paddle and watching the sun rise from the water, followed by sightings of flamingos, pelicans, ospreys, egrets, ibises, and so many other birds and fish. Axel is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who speaks excellent English, and we learned a lot about the mangrove ecosystem. We have some paddling experience, but it's totally doable for novices. It was a wonderful way to spend our last morning on Holbox. Highly recommended!

An incredible experience, I really recommend it to you a lot; it is a delight to see so many stars together, and the bioluminescence was incredible; from minute one the guide welcomes you in the best way and explains the natural phenomena very well. 100% recommended
