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.
Great luck

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.
We saw a lot of flamingos!! Great tour and guide.
