Mexico · ISLA HOLBOX TOURS
Good isla holbox tours fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Review the $36 Holbox Yum Balam boat tour, with Yalahau, Passion Island, Punta Mosquito, birdwatching, and practical booking tips.
“It was fun visiting 3 different places in an afternoon.”
See Holbox’s glowing plankton by night with gear, hotel pickup, stargazing, and a certified guide, with weather and moon-cycle planning.
“Alex was a great guide, making sure all on our group were taken care of. The time shifted to 3 am to avoid a near full moon. My teen girls were worried about the bugs and the muck you have to navigate but all worth it when the magic of these neon creatures comes to life. The weird timing almost made it feel even more special and fun! We learned that the blue luminescence is the most amazing!!”
Explore Holbox from Riviera Maya with island beaches, flamingos, a cenote, boat rides, lunch, and practical tips before you book.
“The trip is quite long with different changes in transportation, but it’s totally worth it if you have to organise the logistic by yourself instead. Guides were good but not always precise but delivering the instructions and the logistic information. It would be have been great to have a little bit more of natural and cultural background information while touring.”
Swim with whale sharks from Isla Holbox, spot manta rays and turtles, and enjoy fresh ceviche on this small-group sea adventure.
“It was amazing. Seeing and swimming with the whale sharks was a magical experience. Of course our guide Deigo and captain are what made the experience truly a once in a lifetime experience. They were friendly, and outstanding! After guiding us on our swim to see the Whale sharks, they pulled up to a little quiet deserted beach and swam in crystal blue water they made us a lunch which we ate on the boat. On the way home we pulled over to see some flamingos. A perfect day. !”
Pick the kind of day first, then pick the coast.
