Holbox: 3 Island Private Boat Tour

Beautiful islands can be seen

We made 2 excursions with VIP Holbox. The first was the Classic tour of the 3 sites. 2 h walk friendly but the guide we had was strictly useless. Fortunately the magic of can do the job! The 2nd exit was a 6h private tour to Cabo Catoche with offshore fishing. An amazing day! Perhaps the best of our entire stay. And the staff (captain and guide) were really great.

The tour was splendid and everything we hoped for. Our guide David Ricardo and our captain were very knowledgeable about the island and its history. On our way to Yalahau in the morning, we were fortunate to encounter a pod of dolphins, it was quite incredible. We ended our tour with punta mosquito as our last stop, which was so relaxing and then were dropped off in town. Highly recommend booking this tour!

We had a fantastic experience with VIP Holbox and highly recommend them. In the morning, we spoke with Willie, who took the time to explain everything clearly and answer all our questions. The reservation process was very easy: we booked and paid through a secure link sent via WhatsApp. Pickup was arranged directly from our hotel and happened perfectly on time, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, we specifically asked not to do the usual high-speed, rushed tour. We were happy to skip some of the classic highlights in exchange for a smooth, slow, and peaceful sail around the island. Our guide and captain, Eddie, fully respected our wishes and adapted the tour accordingly. The result was a truly marvelous afternoon on the water—relaxed, scenic, and exactly what we were hoping for. If you’re looking for a well-organized tour with flexibility and genuine care for your preferences, VIP Holbox is an excellent choice.

The owner was present and introduced himself. Both the guide and boatman were informative. The guide spoke perfect English having spent summers in Cleveland as a child. The weather was good. Very few birds on Punta Mosquito. Flamingos and other birds the guide did not know were near Isla Passion. The fresh water pool was good but the guide says gets overrun by midday. Go in the morning. Our boat had only 4 passengers including us. Good.

The natural spring was very relaxing and fun! It was much bigger than we thought. Eddie was a terrific guide- kind & informative.

Christmas Day trip was really enjoyable. David, our guide, was super friendly and informative. It’s really a good experience for the money.

We booked this activity last minute, as we already had a few excursions planned for our trip but after the whale shark excursion the day before with VIP Holbox, we decided to add the three-island tour to our agenda. Our guide, David, was absolutely incredible, and our captain, Edier, just so happened to be our guide for the whale shark excursion the day before (who we happened to love). They were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and you could tell how proud they were to be sharing their home with us. Our highlight was definitely the freshwater spring at Yalahau. It was an incredible experience that I’m SO glad we didn’t miss out on, as it may be one of my favorite parts of our entire trip. They also took us to Isla Pasión and told us about the history of Holbox. We ended with the Flamingos at Punta Mosquito, which were incredible! You could tell how much David and Edier respected and appreciated the wildlife. Highly recommend, so glad we added this relaxing activity!

I booked this trip with my husband while we were staying on Holbox for the week. I would recommend it. Having our own boat and captain was really special and we felt so relaxed visiting the 3 spots, like we had all the time in the world. We saw some beautiful views and enjoyed time in the water and got some lovely photos. I recommend this!

Lovely, peaceful tour of the surrounding islands. Tour guide Willy was knowledgeable, personable and focused on conservation - which we appreciated. Shared so much info on the area and the wildlife. Will definitely seek him out for tours when we return to Holbox.
