10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Holbox Island That You Shouldn't Miss
Flamingos and pelicans and herons…oh my! Holbox Island is beloved by bird nerds for its population of exotic avian life. Perched near the Yucatan Peninsula, the island is also a hot spot for whale shark viewing, and kiteboarders love the shallow waters and wide beaches. The white sand streets are relatively unspoiled, as most tourists prefer to party it up in nearby Cancun. A splash in Yalahao Lagoon is about as loco as it gets.

This is the ferry service that takes you from Chiquita to Holbox It takes 15 minutes each way, and runs once every 30 minutes. There are a variety of different boats but this is the fastest, and most comfortable with an upper deck that you can sit on during the journey

Some beautiful beaches and delicious food. Currently still quite basic, with sand roads and limited street lighting and internet. Plenty of birdlife to be seen and other wildlife too, plus of course the stunning sea. (right on the boarder between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean). Still low key, but under development, so likely to change going forward. That'll be a sad loss.

To get here it’s best to hire a bike and cycle as far as you can north. After that, it’s a bit of a trek through thickets / along the beach until you can’t go any further. And then you turn left and walk into the sea until you hit the sandbar. Turn right, walk along the sandbar and you’re there (alternatively instead of walking along the beach walk out to the sandbar as soon as you see it). I’m guessing the experience is different depending on the tide. For us, wading through the turquoise waters was a waist deep affair, the sandbar below the knees. A very beautiful ‘beach’.
