Itinerary and highlights

Begin your Holbox Island day trip with comfortable round-trip transportation and a friendly bilingual guide who takes care of every detail. Your round-trip ferry tickets to Holbox are already included, so there are no extra fees and no ticket lines to worry about. Relax on the ferry ride across the turquoise waters off the Yucatan coast and get ready for a full day on the island. A box lunch with a sandwich, fresh fruit, a cookie and juice is also included, so you will never start the adventure hungry.

Your island exploration starts at Punta Mosquito, one of Holbox's most peaceful natural spots, known for its shallow, calm water, soft sand and wide-open views. Travel around the island in a shared golf cart or on your own individual bicycle, whichever you prefer, and enjoy a full hour at this scenic point to walk, take photos, cool off in the gentle water and look for birds along the shore. Your golf cart or bicycle is included for 3 hours, covering your visits to Punta Mosquito and Punta Coco. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent for the most comfortable visit.

Next, head to Punta Coco, a postcard-worthy spot of shallow turquoise water, white sand and a classic Caribbean palapa, and spend another full hour here. This is the place for your best Holbox photos, a relaxing wade in the warm shallow water or simply a quiet moment by the sea. Your golf cart or bicycle is included for the ride, so getting here is part of the fun.

Enjoy 2 hours to explore Holbox Island at your own pace: stroll the colorful town center, take a photo at the famous HOLBOX sign, relax on the beach or browse local shops. Lunch is included at a local restaurant. Choose one platter (fried fish, fish fillet breaded, garlic or spicy "a la diabla", nachos with meat, or grilled or breaded chicken fillet) plus one drink: soft drink, beer or flavored water.
