Isla Holbox vacations

Travellers who want to explore Mexico’s natural beauty and vacation off the beaten path should look no further than Isla Holbox. Accessible via a short ferry ride from Cancun, Isla Holbox is located in the Yum Balam Nature Reserve and is a serene paradise for laidback beach getaways. Since cars aren’t allowed on the island, one of the best ways to get around is by bike. Ask your hotel or resort to arrange bike rentals so you can explore the island’s natural beauty at your own pace! Stroll barefoot along one of the island’s pristine beaches including Punta Coco Beach, Punta Mosquito and Playa Holbox or dive into the crystal-clear waters to snorkel alongside exotic marine life. If you visit between the months of May and November, you’ll have the chance to spot (or even swim with) friendly whale sharks as they migrate to the warm waters off the coast. Whether you want to stay at a European Plan hotel or an all inclusive resort, there are Isla Holbox vacation packages for every travel style.
