About this tour
Holbox sits at the northern tip of Quintana Roo, separated from the mainland by a lagoon. There are no cars, the sand reaches into the streets, and the water is so shallow you can walk out to sea for metres.
Most of the day is spent on a boat, stopping at four places:
- Isla Pasión, 30 minutes.
- Punta Mosquito, 2 hours on the sandbanks: the spot where the water barely covers your feet and those tongues of sand you see in photos appear.
- Yalahau lagoon, a freshwater spring in the middle of the mangroves, for a swim.
- The town of Holbox, an hour to walk its sand streets and see its murals.
Lunch is served on board, at Punta Mosquito: fish ceviche, pickled chicken torta and salads, with white wine. During the tour you also get five drinks per person (beer, soft drink or water) and a snack.
Before you book

- There is an eco fee of USD 25 per person that is not included and is paid in cash on the day of the tour.
