Itinerary
Cabo Catoche is about 43 kilometers east of Holbox and it’s the point where the Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico meet. In this area you can see incredible scenery with pristine beaches. It`s the ideal place for fishing and snorkeling because of its lush marine life. But bear in mind that weather conditions may affect this tour. DOLPHINS: on this tour you may see dolphins in the outer part of Cabo Catoche. FISHING: North of Cabo Catoche we will catch some fish that we will use as ingredients in our ceviche. SNORKELING: At the area of Cuevones which is about 2 feet deep you can see all kinds of fish and soft corals. Under stones in the water you can find the harmless nurse sharks lurking in the background and sometimes you can also see hawkshark, octopus and lobsters. (If the water isn’t calm, visibility may not be optimal) BEACH AND MANGROVES: After snorkeling we will go ashore at the virgin beach where you can take a walk around the island to take pictures. Then we will prepare and eat our ceviche on the beach. If the tide is high we will go through a mangrove that will take us back to Holbox on the other side of the island.

Excellent experience, Silvia the coordinator and Willy the guide, super attentive, explained everything and we learned a lot about Holbox geography and history. Places a paradise. Do not hesitate to make the excursion
I can't say enough good things about this trip!!!! Myself, my husband and three kids all said it was one of the most memorable things we've done, and definitely the highlight of our trip! It far exceeded any expectations we had! David was our tour guide, and he was so friendly and energetic and had so much knowledge of the area. He took us fishing using strings with lures and we had so much fun! Caught a lot of fish which was exciting. From there, he dropped us on a little stretch of beach to relax while they stayed on the boat and made homemade ceviche from the fish we caught. We were blown away by the feast they provided. Fresh ceviche, homemade guacamole and a delicious mango salad and homemade tortilla chips - it felt fine dining and was one of the best meals we had on the island. Pablo was our captain, and was wonderful! He's a master and helped us catch fish! When you're in Holbox, you have to do this trip - you're in for an amazing adventure
A fantastic trip to unspoilt nature, fishing, fantastic ceviche prepared by Captain Pablo and an incredibly nice guide David who can tell a lot about the area. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience working with VIP Holbox! From the beginning, communication via WhatsApp was prompt, clear, and helpful — everything ran right on time. A special thank-you to David and Captain Alan, who went above and beyond to accommodate our family. Our daughter gets seasick easily, and they were incredibly attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. Their kindness and care truly made a difference. The entire team was so ready to serve, share, laugh, and teach us — we learned so much about the local flora, fauna, marine life, and nearby towns. It felt like more than a tour; it was a rich, personal, and joyful experience. And we must mention the ceviche — it was the jewel of the trip! Fresh, delicious, and the perfect touch to an unforgettable day. We’ll definitely be booking another tour with VIP Holbox in the future. Highly recommended!
Our trip was great from start to finish! Our guides were great, Willy was very informative, very patient and they asked often if we were good and what we wanted to do. Fishing was awesome, stopped at chill beach Cabo Catoche for lunch where they prepared the best ceviche we ever had! On our way back we saw dolphins. Willy was nice to share pictures of our trip. Highly recommend
Gustavo and Pablo were absolutely wonderful! They were friendly, accommodating and very well prepared for a great boat day! The ceviche they made on the boat, is the best on the island! They picked us up on the beach side of holbox and were very easy to find. The boat is very clean and comfortable and is better in person than in pictures. This is a must! the best part of our holbox trip.
Safe, fun, and the very best ceviche you’ll ever eat. Thank you Gorge and Willy for a wonderful day.
We booked this tour as part of our family trip to Holbox. Two adults and two older teenagers, and all really enjoyed it. Our son especially enjoyed the fishing and ceviche, oyr daughter especially loved the snorkeling and photos, dad especially loved the boat ride, and mom loved it all. Our guide Eric spoke good English and taught us so much about local culture and the island; our captain did speak speak much English, but both were excellent regardless. I definitely recommend!
Eddy and Eric were fantastic! They took great care of us and our two children. It was a highlight of our trip -- the ceviche was the best we have EVER had. We also caught lots of fish, Eddy and Eric were very attentive to our children and making sure they had the experience of catching the fish. Cabo Catoche had the most beautiful untouched beaches we have ever seen. The tour was early which we loved -- there was no one out at the beautiful spots they took us. 100% recommend and we will go again!
We really enjoyed our tour with Eddy. Captain and Eddie showed us how to line fish and caught us the perfect amount of fish for a delicious ceviche. We got to relax and enjoy our ceviche lunch at a nice quiet part of the beach at Cabo Catoche. The day was perfect. I would definitely recommend!! Gracias Eddy y Capitan!!
