A great trip to Holbox
The transportation runs really smoothly, however, our large bus had poor air conditioning at the rear of the bus. Breakfast was ok, a sandwich, a biscuit and a piece of fruit and a drink, just enough really. We arrived at the ferry and it was ready to depart, which was good and only took 20 minutes. It’s a 10 minute walk from the port to the golf cart hire shop or a 70 Peso taxi, we took the taxi! All I can say about the golf carts is, every tourist driving them has a smile on their face, they were amazing fun. We then returned the golf carts and met for lunch at a local restaurant and I have to the food was delicious. You then get another hour to look around, which, in our opinion, was not needed, it would have been better to get an earlier ferry, as the day was very long. We got back to the ferry and boarded really quickly and we were on our way. We got to the bus and the driver had managed to get the air conditioning working better, so the journey back was more comfortable. All of the staff are very helpful and make for a really enjoyable day.
Response from the operator: Dear traveler! We welcome your comments and thank you for your time and preference. We work daily to make the excursion fun, enjoyable and safe. We regret that for a moment the air conditioning of the bus had failures, however as you said it was fixed and made the way more pleasant. We invite you to continue to know our offer of activities and tours. Have a nice day and best regards.

Not What I Expected
Definitely not what I expected. Was expecting more English and more “guided”…. They pick you up in a smaller van and bring you to a large bus to go to the ferry pier. Everyone is Mexican and speaking Spanish. Us and one other couple spoke English. They get you to the ferry, walk you to a bike/golf cart rental place where you must share a cart with another couple (4people/cart). Then off you go on your own for three hours with little to no guidance. Then back for crowded lunch w other excursion groups, then two more hours on your own walking around without a golf cart. If you want this limited level of support, better to just take the ADO bus and then the ferry to island and rent cart yourself for 1/3 the price.
Response from the operator: We’re sorry that your experience was less than perfect. Our goal is to provide memorable and positive moments, and we regret that we fell short. Your feedback is essential to us, so please contact us so we can address your concerns and find a way to make things right.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Holbox Tour with Ferry transportation and lunch included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
