HOLBOX ISLAND TOUR - from Holbox (Private)

This private boat tour explores the small islands around Holbox, an island in the north of the Yucatan peninsula, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Holbox has a distinct character: there are no cars or highways, which gives visitors the feeling that time has stopped. The tour lasts about three and a half hours and is private, so the boat is for your own group.

The trip is a pleasant boat ride among the islets that surround Holbox. The itinerary lists the best sites of interest around the island: Isla Pájaros, Isla Pasión and the Yalahau cenote, with about 180 minutes devoted to these stops.

The boat ride is also a chance to see wildlife. You can watch several types of birds, including white and gray pelicans, frigate birds and seagulls and, depending on the season, even pink flamingos. During the trip you might also see dolphins and stingrays.

The tour is a good choice for people who want a relaxed way to clear their minds and stay in touch with nature. Because the boat is private, it suits families and small groups who prefer their own pace. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness.

Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, infants are required to sit on an adult's lap, and specialized infant seats are available. Service animals are allowed.

Included are the private boat, roundtrip transportation with pick-up at the hotel, and a guide who speaks English and Spanish. Drinks during the lunch are not included.
