Summary: Julie was an amazing and enthusiastic guide who went above and beyond to make us all comfortable and informed. Our morning group tour turned into a private one for our family (me and two teen girls) which was a nice surprise to have a small boat all to ourselves. The captain was kind. We appreciated how they circled back a bit once to pick up some trash floating in the ocean. Their love of Holbox shined through. We loved the cenote most but all stops are great. Good to be pointed to the cheapest empanadas in town at the end. Loved! Only felt bad that the ATM was out of order nearby that morning and we didn’t have the cash handy to tip better.

Summary: We really enjoyed our tour today. I felt like it was a great introduction to the diverse ecosystem of Yum Balam nature reserve. Our tour guide, David, did a great job of pointing out the highlights. We got to swim in refreshing spring waters, take a scenic walk on a sand bar and even see pink flamingos. Recommended!
