Private boat tour (3 islands tour)

This private boat tour explores the waters around Holbox and stops at three places: Isla Pasión, the Yalahau spring and Punta Mosquito. The full outing lasts about 210 minutes, and the description says it includes round-trip transfers from Holbox Island hotels.

The first stop is Isla Pasión, one of the most beautiful beaches on Holbox and also a home for many birds. You can watch several species feed and reproduce, and in season you may see the resident flamingos in its shallow, colorful water. This stop takes about 45 minutes.

Next is Yalahau, a freshwater cenote, which is a natural sinkhole filled with fresh water. According to legend, pirates and fishermen once used this spring as a source of water and youth. Today you can swim, cool off and spend time in a hammock in its crystal-clear water. Plan on about 60 minutes here.

The last stop is Punta Mosquito, described as without a doubt one of the most beautiful beaches on Holbox Island. It is known for its sandbanks and clear water, and you can swim there for about 45 minutes.

The tour suits most travelers, as it is suitable for all physical fitness levels. Infants sit on an adult's lap, service animals are allowed, and public transportation options are available nearby.

Drinks are part of the price: carbonated beverages, bottled water, tea and coffee, and alcoholic beverages are included, along with all fees and taxes. Not included is the entrance fee to the Yalahau cenote (listed as 200), so bring cash for it. The listing also names private transportation as an exclusion, so confirm the pickup arrangements when you book.
