2024 Isla Holbox Ultimate Guide – Must KNOW Travel Tips

2024 Isla Holbox Ultimate Guide – Must KNOW Travel Tips

We love Isla Holbox Island, which is located just off the northern coastline of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. We have been visiting Holbox for the last 7 years and just returned from another perfect trip.

If you want somewhere new for your next trip to Mexico, you must put this postcard-perfect little small island on your list. Holbox is a great place to visit if you want a relaxing Mexico getaway with the chance for some eco-friendly soft adventures.

In this ultimate Holbox Mexico travel guide, we will show you everything you need to know before you visit Isla Holbox. We will cover how to get to Holbox, what to do in Isla Holbox, and all the details on how and when to see whale sharks in Holbox!

What’s it like to Travel to Isla Holbox in 2024

The tiny island of Isla Holbox has a great laid-back vibe to it. Along with the beautiful beaches and glorious sunshine, its glittering Caribbean turquoise water is also home to incredible marine life, with whale sharks being a major draw.

Above the water, it’s just as wonderful. There is a multitude of amazing street art for you to check out, as well as many fantastic local restaurants serving up delicious Mexican food. All in all, it really is a dream destination!

No cars, no paved roads, miles, and miles of pristine undeveloped beaches – this is our kind of place.

Holbox is, in our opinion, the perfect size right now in 2024 and for the next few years. Tourism is rising, and every time we visit, there are more and more tourists.

Things have been slowly changing in the time we have been visiting Holbox, but it’s still largely raw and underdeveloped. Holbox Town is a cute small Mexican town with restaurants, hotels for most budgets, and everything else you really need as a tourist.

As of 2024, tourism hasn’t brought the all-inclusive resorts or Senior Frogs type of restaurants, and the rest of the overdevelopment you see in the rest of the mainland and the Yucatan Penisula. We are starting to see similar restaurants to those you’d see in Playa del Carmen and Tulum.


Isla Holbox FAQ and Quick Answers:

Q: When is Whale Shark Season in Holbox?

A: Mid-May to Mid-September is Whale Shark season in Holbox, with the peak season coming in late June to Early July. Whale Sharks can be spotted during the summer months during their annual migration around the Yucatan Peninsula.

Q: How do you pronounce Holbox?

A: Holbox is pronounced differently than you might expect based on how it is spelled. The “x” takes on a “sch” sound, making the correct way to say it: “Hole – Bosch”

Q: Are there cars allowed on Isla Holbox?

A: There are no cars on Isla Holbox (except a few work trucks), which means visitors have to either rent a bike or a golf cart to travel around – or it’s small enough to walk just about everywhere! Limits on cars are in place to protect the island’s pristine natural habitat.

Q: Where is Holbox?

A: Isla Holbox is an island that is located in the Yucatan Peninsula in Quintana Roo State. It is a free island that isn’t connected to the mainland. Visitors have to cross the Yalahau Lagoon via ferry to get to the island. On the other side of the island are gorgeous white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

Q:  Is Isla Holbox Safe?

A: Short answer, yes Holbox is safe. We have brought both of our kids here multiple times, as young as three months old. If I were concerned about the safety in Holbox, I wouldn’t bring my kids.

With that being said, be a smart, safe traveler. Don’t bring expensive, flashy items, practice common sense, don’t get involved with drugs, stay on well-lit streets, don’t stay out too late, etc. The standard safety precautions you should take whenever traveling. When going out at night, only bring what you need and don’t bring too much cash.

There is a police station in Holbox, right in Holbox Town across from Holbox Central Park. There is also an ATM located at the police station.

Q: Holbox vs Tulum, which is better?

A:  Holbox, without a doubt!

Why You Should Visit Isla Holbox Mexico

While the stunning scenery and laidback island way of life is already reason enough to visit Holbox, one of the main draws is that it is very much an off-the-beaten-path destination, at least for the moment.

You’ll also find that there are hardly any paved roads, so you’ll mostly be trundling along dusty tracks when on your golf cart or bike. In addition to this, there are only just over a thousand people that call the island home, so there’s a lovely small-town feel.

Much of Mexico’s glorious coastline has become a bit over-developed in recent years, so lots of places feel a bit crowded with lots of tourists visiting every year.

Isla Holbox still remains largely underdeveloped. Add in the idyllic beaches, the amazing underwater life, the beautiful street art, the fun beach bars, and the welcoming feel to the island. It all comes together to make the perfect vacation destination!

Holbox Ferry to Isla Holbox Mexico

How To Get To Isla Holbox Mexico

There are only two options to travel to Isla Holbox: the 15-minute ferry from Chiquila or flying to Holbox.

If you’ve rented a car in Cancun, sadly, you can’t drive to Holbox Mexico, BUT you can drive right to the town of Chiquila and hop on the Isla Holbox ferry from there.

Don’t let the ferry intimidate you. Getting to Holbox is flawless. Make sure to check out our how to get Isla Holbox guide for more details on each option or our Cancun to Holbox article dedicated to those traveling from Cancun.

The EASIEST and FASTEST Way to Holbox

Travel Tip – Just book a private driver. There is nothing more annoying than standing around at the airport waiting for other people.

Want to get to Holbox the easiest & fastest way? A private shuttle is the easiest way; have a driver waiting for you at the airport or pick you up at your hotel. You’ll need to book online in advance to arrange and get the cheapest rates.

Isla Holbox Ferry from Chiquila

The ferry to Isla Holbox from Chiquila is super quick. It takes only 15 minutes.

Two Holbox ferry companies run ferries daily from Chiquila to Holbox and back. Holbox Express Ferry and 9 Brothers Ferry both charge the same price.

You’ll get the same service. They operate on different schedules. The boat ride is super smooth. I have never seen a tourist get seasick.

They both run daily, starting at 5 am and leaving every 30 minutes; one departs on the hour, and the other ferry leaves on the half-hour. The last ferry is at 8:30 p.m. Read our complete Holbox ferry guide here.

Just show up at the Chiquila Pier (click here for google maps location) and ask for the next available ferry to Holbox. Buy your ticket right at the ferry terminal. Holbox ferry ticket prices are:

Parking at Chiquila Holbox Ferry

Several local businesses and residents offer parking right across from the Holbox ferry. There will be signs advertising they offer parking and the daily rate.

We paid 100 pesos a day, and we parked for four nights. We parked at the same parking lot on every trip.

Don’t leave anything in your car. Take all valuables and leave items you’re not taking with you in the trunk. We only took what we needed to Holbox, locked another suitcase in the trunk, and had no issues.

The cheapest way to Holbox is by public bus. This is usually also the longest way, and they take 3+ hours.

The local bus company ADO has routes to Holbox. We personally have taken ADO buses all over the Yucatan. Prices and time vary based on where you are traveling from.

There are buses to Holbox (Chiquila pier) from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Merida, etc. Click here for the ADO bus schedule to Holbox and to book tickets online. Prices are often cheaper on their app than when booking in person.

Traveling to Isla Holbox by Shared Shuttle Bus

Our least favorite way of traveling is by a shared shuttle bus. No one likes waiting for all passengers to arrive or going from hotel to hotel to pick up more guests…

There are shuttle buses from Cancun and Playa del Carmen to Cancun for $25-40 per person. Check out how to get Holbox article for more details.

Flying to Isla Holbox

If budget is no concern, consider flying to Holbox. There are no shared flights; instead, you can rent a private plane!

Isla Holbox Golf Cart Taxi driver

Isla Holbox Pier

Welcome to Holbox Mexico! The ferry to and from Holbox is located at the Isla Holbox Pier.

Once you get off the ferry and collect your luggage, it is a short walk to most hotels if you are staying in town.

Most Holbox visitors take a golf cart taxi to get to their hotel. There is a taxi stand and a line located just off the pier on Isla Holbox. Here, the taxis get in line and take the next person in line.

It is really well organized and moves fast. Golf cart taxis have reasonable prices. We paid 100 pesos to go from the ferry to Holbox Dream Beachfront Hotel in 2023.

On our last trip, we had to take two golf cart taxis because we had a lot of bags…we came straight from the Cancun airport to Holbox. We had both kids, two travel strollers, three large checked bags, two car seats, a diaper bag, a large camera/computer bag, and possibly a wheeled carry-on. We had a lot of STUFF!

Most Holbox Beach hotels aren’t within walking distance of the pier. The roads in Holbox are not great for wheeled luggage. It is a small town, but the roads can be really bad, especially during the rainy season or if it recently rained.

When leaving and heading back to the pier, have your hotel call for a pickup. We had our golf cart come 30 minutes before the next ferry. That gave us enough time to get to the ferry and purchase tickets.

Swimming with Whale Sharks on Isla Holbox Mexico

One of the most incredible things to do in Isla Holbox is to go swimming with whale sharks – it really is a must if you have the chance!

The huge creatures look majestic underwater as they peacefully swim by. You really will come away with a sense of awe at having seen them so up close in their natural environment.

Whale sharks are one of the largest animals in the world that can reach up to a staggering 40 feet in length and weigh up to 30,000 pounds.

Even with their size, they are graceful creatures! These gentle giants aren’t dangerous; don’t let the shark part scare you. Larger than Great White Sharks, these giant toothless fish eat massive amounts of plankton, not people.

Whale Shark Season Holbox

Holbox is one of the best places in the world to swim with Whale Sharks and is one of the things the island is best known for. However, don’t expect to show up outside of whale shark season in Isla Holbox and expect to see them.

You can only see the whale sharks in this part of Mexico during their migration when the seas are rich with Plankton. A summer visit is required if you want to spot these amazing creatures.

  • Holbox Whale Shark Season: June – September
  • Average price: MXN 3,000+ ($120+)

Top 10 Things to Do in Isla Holbox

Holbox really is a beautiful, laid-back place to visit, with lots for you to do in terms of outdoor activities – if you ever manage to tear yourself away from one of the famous hammocks that look out over the idyllic island scenery.

To help you with your trip to this beautiful island, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite Holbox activities.

Everything from swimming in cenotes to exploring the island’s incredible street art and drinking margaritas in the sun at a beach bar – here are our favorite things to do in Holbox!

1. Walk the Las Nubes Sandbar

This right here is why you travel to Holbox. Most visitors will tell you it was a photo of Las Nubes Sandbar that first put Holbox on their travel radar. If you are a beach lover, it is pure paradise and everything you could hope for.

A must-do is to go for a walk along the seemingly never-ending sandbar beach at Las Nubes. Stretching far into the distance, the sandbank goes for miles and miles on the way from the beach hotels all the way to Mosquito Point.

It’s a magical experience, and the scenery and views are absolutely stunning. It’s best to start early and plan your time on the sandbar around the tides. Head out in the morning at low tide.

If you are trying to get all the way to Mosquito Point, make sure to get back to firm land before the high tide rolls in and partially covers the sandbar! Be warned, the tide comes in quickly and can easily sneak up on you.

You don’t want to be stuck out in the ocean with your camera over your head trying to make it to the beach…been there, done that!

Once you get back, there are lots of restaurants and fun beach bars where you can grab a cocktail and watch a glorious sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

2. Take a Holbox Boat Tour

As Isla Holbox is blessed with beautiful beaches, stunning scenery, and a wealth of incredible wildlife, a great way to explore its many sights is to jump on board a boat tour that takes you around the island.

This enables you to bask in the glorious sea views. We went on one with Viator, which was very well organized and took us to a ton of places that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen by ourselves.

As well as stopping by Yalahau Cenote for a swim in its welcoming waters, the boat tour also took us to a couple of different islands that lie not far away.

Isla Pajaros was great to visit because of all the amazing, brightly-colored birds we saw. While at Passion Island, we saw pink flamingos wading through the shallow waters.

All in all, it was a lovely day out that was the perfect combination of nature, wildlife, sea views, and swimming! Suggested Holbox boat tours:

3. Kayak through the Magnificent Mangroves

If you want to explore Holbox’s magnificent mangroves, there is no better way to do it than by kayak! A kayak lets you immerse yourself in the abundant nature all around you.

There are lots of wildlife in Holbox to see; while you’ll definitely get to see lots of different types of birds, you may even come across a crocodile or two!

Paddling peacefully through the mangroves was one of our favorite things to do in Holbox and is a great way to spend an afternoon if you’re up for a little bit of exercise!

We suggest going on a kayaking tour through the mangroves, as the guide will lead the way and point out wildlife along the way.

4. Experience the Incredible Bioluminescence Phenomenon

One thing that you don’t want to miss out on when visiting Isla Holbox is experiencing the incredible bioluminescence natural phenomenon that lights up the waters around the island.

On dark evenings, at some beaches on Holbox, you’ll see the water shimmering with little blue lights. These are actually microscopic bioluminescent plankton glowing. It is a magical sight and is a must when visiting.

To best see the bioluminescence in Holbox, you want the night to be as dark as possible. You can ask around town where you can view it or take a guided bioluminescence tour in Holbox. Usually, it is quite late at night when you can see the lights glimmering in the waters around the island.

Don’t forget to bring your swimwear so you can hop in and swim among the tiny stars glowing all around you! However, skip the cameras. The Bioluminescent is very hard to photograph unless you have very specific camera equipment. So, leave the camera behind and just experience the moment.

5. Kite Surfing in Holbox on the Northern Shores(or just watching)

The unique geography and position of Isla Holbox works well for kite surfers, providing consistent winds making it one of the best places in Mexico to go Kitesurfing and other wind-related watersports.

Even if you aren’t getting on the board yourself, it’s fun to lounge on the beach and watch the kites and surfers twirl in the wind.

One of the most popular places for the sport is on the far end of the Las Nubes sandbank, away from the town. It’s a gorgeous walk, or you can arrange transport most of the way on the island.

The place you are looking for is just past the point of the island called Punta Mosquito (don’t worry, during the day, we didn’t have trouble with mosquitos).

Here, the beach opens up into a stretch of undeveloped sand so long you really cannot see the end. See map for Punta Mosquito.

6. Swim Yalahau Cenote

Another very popular thing to do in Isla Holbox (and with good reason) is to go for a swim in Cenote Yalahau – we’d recommend it if you have the time. We love checking out and swimming in cenotes.

There are over 6,000 cenotes in Mexico. Make sure to read our best cenotes in Mexico article!

Yalahau Cenote is actually located on the mainland in Yum Balam Nature Reserve. You will have to take a half-hour boat trip to get there.

On the way, you may even see dolphins swimming around if you’re lucky. Add in the beautiful sea views, and the boat trip alone already makes the visit worthwhile!

Tucked away in a mangrove forest, the crystal clear water is ideal for swimming in. It really is a lovely setting, which is what makes taking a dip in the cenote such a unique experience.

After drying off in the warm sun, you can explore the rest of the wonderful natural sights the nature reserve offers.

Tours Stopping At Yalahau Cenote:

7. Check out the Island’s Fantastic Street Art in Holbox

Although we’ve mainly mentioned the island’s beautiful nature, wildlife, and outdoor activities until this point, Isla Holbox is also known for its fantastic street art, which you’ll see everywhere you go.

The beautiful murals, monuments, and artistic creations light up the town with their bright colors. A large part of this street art gives Isla Holbox its unique feel and look.

Wandering around town and checking out the amazing pieces is a lovely way to explore the island – you may find yourself returning home with a couple of local art pieces to brighten up your home.

Every time you head out of your hotel to wander around, you’ll come across some new and interesting street art that you hadn’t noticed before.

8. Take a nap in one of the famous Holbox hammocks!

2023 update – the government ordered all hammocks removed. Hopefully, this gets reversed, but for now – there are no in-the-water hammocks in Holbox. This is a huge disappointment. Tourists loved this great photo opp.

At almost all of the Holbox beaches on the island, you’ll come across hammocks strung up between gently swaying palm trees. These hammocks are the perfect place to take a well-earned nap!

The most famous and photo-worthy ones are located right on the beach, with shallow water lying right below them; these are the ones most people head to.

There’s nothing better in life than lazily trailing your hand in the water as you bask in the sunshine and let a hammock rock you to sleep!

9. Rent a Bike or Golf Cart and Explore the Island

As there are no cars on the Island, your only option to explore is to take a golf cart taxi or rent a bike or golf cart yourself.

Both cycling or bumbling along in your own golf cart are lots of fun. For those visiting for the first time, it is the perfect way to find the best spots and be your own tour guide.

It’s impossible to get lost or tired as the island is so small! Cycling along the beach is a dream, with the waves lapping at the shore and the white sandy beaches lying before you.

Golf carting your way around is also lots of fun and is one of the quickest ways to get from Point A to Point B.

  • Price to rent a bike: MXN 20 – 30 per hour. MXN 150 – 200 per 24 hours
  • Price to rent a golf cart: MXN 1,000 for 3 hours. MXN 2,800 per 24 hours

If you’re renting for more than one day, try to negotiate for a better deal for a longer duration. Some good deals can be found on one-week rentals.

There are tons of golf cart rentals in Holbox Town. Just shop around for the best prices.

10. Spend the Day at a Beach Club, Drinking Margaritas and Soaking up the Sun

After all that kayaking, swimming, and cycling, you’re certainly going to want to kick back and relax in the sun at some point. What better way to do that than to lounge at a beach club drinking margaritas!?

With Isla Holbox being a paradise island, there are lots of great bars and restaurants that hug the coastline. Most of them offer fantastic views of the ocean. Hanging out at a beach club and enjoying a refreshing cocktail (or two!) really is one of the best things to do in Holbox.

The best margaritas that we found were at El Velero Beach Club. The views on offer from their little patch of the beach are pretty stunning too!

This is where we spend many days and all of our sunsets. The best way to end the day on a tropical island is on the beach, watching the sunset.

Where to Stay in Holbox

There isn’t one best part of the island to stay on. The island is small, and you can walk just about anywhere in 15 minutes.

We stayed at Hotel Puerto Holbox, which is outside of “downtown Holbox” but only a few minutes walk. We would definitely stay here again. Here are a few other hotels we visited that we’d recommend:

  • Luxury $250+ | Holbox Dream Beach Front Hotel – Check Rates Now
  • Mid-Range $100-$200 | Hotel Puerto Holbox – Check Rates Now
  • Budget <$75 | Casa Blatha – Check Rates Now

Best Restaurants in Isla Holbox

While we could go on and on about all the fantastic restaurants, here are just a few of our personal favorites that stood out!

Make sure to check our complete list of the best restaurants in Holbox for a more detailed post.

Rosa Mexicano

Very centrally located, Rosa Mexicano is a wonderful open-air restaurant that serves up delicious food, whether you go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! While the menu is packed full of traditional Mexican dishes, there is a modern twist to most of them, and we enjoyed everything we had.

As well as the fantastic food, the extensive cocktail menu made it one of our favorite places to go. Try and get a seat outside on the swings. It’s a great place to enjoy a drink and people-watch.

Los Peleones

A very friendly and welcoming place, Los Peleones is in the center of town and has a great atmosphere. You immediately feel at home there.

The food is tasty and fresh, and the menu offers everything from Mexican staples from around the country to authentic Italian pasta dishes and Japanese-Peruvian fusion!

Make sure to save room for some of the fabulous desserts – the chocolate cake is the perfect ending to a meal.

El Velero Beach Club

Located in Hotel Puerto Holbox, El Velero Beach Club is delightfully situated – as you might have guessed – on a beach. As such, watching the sun go down while eating a delicious meal or sipping on a cocktail is a lovely experience.

There is a very relaxed feel to the beach club, and the menu has a wide range of different dishes for you to try out. We enjoyed breakfast and lunches at the beach club. Definitely one to come back to time and time again!


We hope our guide to Isla Holbox has helped you plan your trip. Most tourists we have met are repeat visitors to the island.

There aren’t many places left in Mexico like Holbox. It is a special place we know we will travel to again and again. It is our Mexican beach destination!

You have to get there soon; tourism is on the rise, and it is only time before the all-inclusive resorts and overpriced restaurants come. We don’t want to see Holbox become the next Tulum.

If you liked Tulum 10 years ago, you would love the chill lifestyle in Holbox. Just go!

Another hidden gem in Mexico is located only 2 hours away, is El Cuyo. It is even less visited and hasn’t been developed nearly as much.

Make sure to read our El Cuyo travel guide to see if you want to add it to your bucket list.

Would you say 2 days split between Holbox and 2 on isla mujeres is crazy? As we have been to isla mujeres twice and still keep finding places to visit. Lol. We hate being so close to it and not having a visit there. Just stay on Holbox ?

Adam

Wednesday 2nd of August 2023

I think that's a lot of traveling with the shuttles and boat rides to spend two nights on each Island - you'll spend a larger part of two days in transit. I think you'd have a better time picking one and having more time to enjoy it. We would chose Holbox, but Isla Mujeres is great too! Have a great trip!

Hannah Lukaszewicz

Friday 5th of January 2024

We would recommend minimum of 3 nights in Holbox, with 5 nights being just the right amount for us. The first day is most likely a travel day and you will arrive in the afternoon.
