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 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.
An incredible excursion. Diego came to pick us up at the hotel and then we went to the beach to start the kayak trip. We were able to see a beautiful sunrise and learn a lot about the fauna and flora of the mangroves. We also had a small snack during the tour, a very nice touch. A 100% recommended experience with Diego!
It was a perfect experience. I recommend the morning tour, since the sunrise, calm water and awaking nature provides a perfect setting and start for the tour. Gustavo was a perfect tour guide explaining everything in a calm and competent manner.
It was a super nice experience, the bioluminescence looked incredible, the guide, even though we were a very large group, coordinated us very well at all times, gave us an explanation of the stars and about what bioluminescence was, I definitely recommend them.
Very nice and learning experience for us. I have never manage a kayak and it does require a lost s of coordination, but we managed to handle it. The guide was very helpful, knowledgeable, helpful, knowledgeable and took his job seriously. He made sure the group stayed together and safe. It was relaxing morning to see the sunrise and flamingos and other birds species. I recommend this tour.
Perfect experience with Gustavo who showed us all the beauties of the mangroves
Fantastic experience to visit the Holbox lagoon at sunset. We spotted many species, very up close, like flamingos, and we enjoyed beautiful colors between pink and orange until the sun went down. Led by expert guides who gave us all the necessary support. Highly recommended!
My partner and I did the sunrise kayak tour with Iván and it was super good. It was one of the best tour experiences on the island. We were lucky to go alone with our guide, who provided us with detailed and very interesting explanations about the different birds we observed, the wildlife in general, the mangrove species, how other aspects of the island work, etc. The sunrise was spectacular and the experience is unique, you feel completely connected with nature. Managing the hotel pickup was very easy, and we really appreciated that there was a transfer once the activity was finished (it is not common in tours). In short, we highly recommend it!
