Beautiful way to spend a morning on Holbox

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!

Amazing way to start the day! Ivan was knowledgeable and taught us about the local flora and fauna. Mellow kayak, perfect for all levels. We saw flamingos, many different birds, a crocodile, crabs, and iguanas. Highly recommend!

Magical Sunrise Kayak Tour – A True Highlight of Holbox

We had an incredible sunrise kayak tour through the mangroves with Holboxtreme, guided by Ivan. Ivan’s knowledge of the local flora and fauna was outstanding and really brought the whole experience to life. Paddling at dawn, we were lucky enough to see flamingos for the first time, along with juvenile crocodiles, crabs, and a wide range of bird species. The small group size (just one other couple) made it feel very personal and peaceful—no crowds, just nature at its best. A truly memorable experience and one we’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Holbox.

A highlight of my trip.

I did two tours with UnEx during my stay in Holbox, and they were both brilliant. Ivan, our guide, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make the experience special. Booking was easy and everything ran really smoothly, which I appreciate as a solo traveller. We saw so much wildlife and nature - Exploring the island with them was a highlight of my trip. Thank you.

A wonderful way to start the day!

This sunrise tour was super relaxing... we began by paddling along the coastline to the mangroves while the sun rose over the water. The only sounds were birds chittering and the lapping of waves onto the shore. Our guide, Ivan, pointed out a few species and shared interesting information. Highlights of the day were seeing one flamingo flying overhead and spotting a crocodile.

Awesome local tour guides who really know the area.

Great guys. Locals who really know about the environment and history. Thoroughly enjoyed our time. We’ll be booking them again next time we’re in Holbox. We saw flamingos, crocodiles, osprey, and so much more. Holbox is magnificent and these guys are part of the magic.
