Beautiful getaway - This was so amazing. The history of the ships coming to holbox was amazing to learn. The water was so still and clear. Walking around the island was easy and had beautiful sights. It was so worth the trip!

Beautiful water - beautiful stops - beautiful day! - We had an absolute amazing time on this tour!! Cheppe was the BEST tour guide! He explained everything and gave tons of awesome history for each stop. The food was incredible - surrounded by the beauty of the water - it was an unforgettable day. Would have LOVED more time on Holbox but still an awesome trip! The Cenote was so refreshing!

Wonderful day. Recommended! - Long trip, yes, but it's a time that's not up to the company. The excursion covered 100% of the expectation. Excellent guide Chepe and Monse. The island of Holbox was something amazing, that emerald green of the sea. The only thing that would change, less time in springs and more time in Holbox

Paradise - The island is spectacular! The guides made us very comfortable, Darien, Tomas and Lyly, as did the bus driver. But the driver of the boat Ariel was amazing. Thank you very much Ekinox friends for such a great day.

Maria, we are not sheep, we are TOURISTS - Departure was at 7:30. We were greeted by Maria Rodriguez, to whom we asked questions about the schedule and duration of the trip to which she answered us with power and without desire. It was raining and all the buses picked up the tourists at the gate of the Holl. When ours came, he made us go in a pouring rain to the bus, about 500 meters. My 5-year-old grandson slipped and fell soaking everything. Maria told us nothing was wrong, we were going to the beach. The journey, according to Maria, was 2 hours, but between pickups and bus changes became 4, without receiving any information from Maria. 4 hours all wet, with air conditioning butt and very cold. All very nefarious. Maria, we're not sheep, we're tourists. Luckily, José Rivero came into action, a great professional and a great person who filled us all with attentions, information and was by our side at all times for whatever it took. Thanks to Him, we were able to enjoy a beautiful excursion to a beautiful place in a beautiful country. Thank you very much Chepe for everything and for your professionalism.👏👏👏

Holbox I don't recommend - Worst of all the excursions I've done both on this trip and on others. We were not taken to ANY of the places we were told we would go (the excursion was supposed to be three hours by boat with different stops at different points). According to them for a storm, when it was a beautiful and sunny day, they could not explain anything, they just said that and we all accepted. Instead, we were left lying for hours in the SAME, supposedly paradise-like, SITE. When you got off the boat you came that the water didn't reach your knee and the seabed was mud. Disgusting!!! Bad smell. I understand we're there for a while, but not the whole excursion. I think both the guide and the boat didn’t want to work too much and it was easier to sit on the boat while the tourists splashed in mud. I do not recommend this tour because it is expensive and absolutely nothing is done. Hiking scam.
