What to do and see in Holbox Island, Quintana Roo: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

April 6, 2022 Malia Yoakum

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.

Yalahau Lagoon

Reviewed By vidyanahar

This is a very scenic lagoon with green waters coming from the Gulf of Mexico, and blue waters coming from the Caribbean Sea. You can actually see the different shades of water. It offers shallow waters by the island of Holbox with very firmly packed white sand underneath the waters. This allows one to walk in 3 ft water for at least a mile inside!
