Holbox Island offers 36km of pristine white beaches washed by emerald-green seas. On this exclusive excursion, you'll discover spots like Isla Pasion on a private boat and enjoy lunch at a five-star eco-resort. There's also a golf buggy tour of the island to look forward to. Ariel, one of our local guides on this tour, says, ‘Holbox is a habitat for more than 300 endemic and migratory species. It's also something of a playground, with activities such as speedboats and beach buggies.'

Board your boat at Chiquila – piloted by a local fisherman – and be whisked off on a two-hour coastal tour. Every other company uses the local ferry. Your guide will point out places known for their wildlife and explain what efforts are being made to preserve this habitat. And if you're doing the tour between June and September, you may be lucky enough to catch sight of the island's flamboyant flamingos. Plus, you'll discover the beauty of the secluded beaches of Isla Pasion and Punta Mosquito, before heading to the eco-resort for lunch followed by downtime on the sunloungers.

Once your batteries are recharged, you'll hop into a golf buggy for some fun exploring the surrounding area. To round off your visit to the island, we'll make our way to Holbox's laidback main square for some free time – it's a great opportunity to pick up some souvenirs or sample local food. You'll then return by ferry to Chiquila and on to Cancun.

The island itself is beautiful but it got over hyped. Miss sold on how much time was spent on the bus. The “5*” hotel food was rubbish- told it would be a bbq yet there were was barely any choice of food. Staff weren’t friendly. Was a long day to see an island that looks just like the beach we have at the hotel. Definitely over priced for what it is.

The island was incredible as was our guide Michaela. The down side was the buffet where there wasn’t enough food, me and my wife were the last in line and there wasn’t enough food only a little bit left so we had a small bit but assumed they’d bring out more food but didn’t. The other down side was the journey time with other hotel picks ups making it nearly 3 and a half hours the way back

A very enjoyable relaxing day out. The long journey is worthwhile. Beautiful breathtaking place with lots of time to enjoy ourselves. Lunch was delicious in a beautiful setting and the buggy ride to and from there is a nice touch. I totally recommend this trip and take advantage of the photographer. Beautiful photos and not expensive.

This trip was recommended to me and it did not disappoint. Very organised and excellent tour guide by Erica. The trips to the different beaches were beautiful and the speed boat rides were fun. The lunch buffet was fresh and tasty. And we had an enjoyable time on the buggy’s. Overall good value for money.

Things we liked, Guides were excellent and helpful. Holbox was amazing, buggys lot of fun, Seeing dolphins was unexpected bonus. Only negative was we were not able to go on to the sand bar due to sea conditions but this is out of everybody's hands. But did not distract from the experience.

The trip was lovely, we did think it was more of a pleasure boat trip, it was not so clear that it was a small boat. The guide was lovely and kept us very safe he also had lots of information about the area. There was more walking than I anticipated but not to much really, I'm disabled and could have used some warning about the walking so I could have taken my stick. The food at the hotel was very good and the service was good.
