A laid-back, car-free paradise
Holbox Island, north of the Yucatán Peninsula, is a destination of sandy streets, no cars, a bohemian vibe and beaches that seem to go on forever. It is the perfect place to disconnect and be in touch with nature.
Swimming with whale sharks
From June to September, Holbox is one of the best places in the world to swim with whale sharks, the largest fish on the planet and completely harmless. It is the island's star experience in season.
Flamingos and wildlife
Holbox is part of a nature reserve home to flamingos, pelicans and other birds. A boat ride through its mangroves and toward Isla Pasión and Punta Mosquito reveals spectacular wildlife.
Bioluminescence
At certain times of year, at night, the sea around Holbox glows thanks to bioluminescent plankton. Swimming among blue sparkles under the stars is a magical, unforgettable experience.
How to get to Holbox
You reach it by ferry from the port of Chiquilá, about two to three hours from Cancun by road. Once on the island, everything is explored on foot, by bike or in a golf cart.
