Self-Guided Tour: Explore Holbox at your own pace on Bike and SUP

This is a self-guided way to see Holbox at your own pace, combining a bike ride around the island with an hour on a paddleboard. You get to the historic corners, beaches, colorful murals and charming spots without a guide setting the schedule.

An interactive map leads you from one point of interest to the next, pointing out places that few travelers reach. Each location comes with photos and information about the history, natural beauty, culture and atmosphere of the island. Access to the map lasts 48 hours, so you decide how to spread out your time.

There are three routes to choose from. The Tour of the Center takes you to the Concha Acústica and the Central Park, through streets with murals and other street art, and on to the old lighthouse and the crafts walk. It is listed at about 60 minutes.

The tour to Punta Coco goes by the local market and the Animal Refuge, then along sandy paths to the beaches of Punta Coco. Along the way you find hidden murals and learn about the island's biodiversity. It is also about 60 minutes.

The tour to Punta Mosquito Arenal crosses the hotel zone along the street that overlooks the mangrove, until you reach the beaches of Punta Mosquito and the sandy area. You also see murals that few travelers find, and the map gives tips and suggests stops so you can enjoy it safely. It is likewise about 60 minutes.

The paddleboard part takes you onto the calm waters of the Caribbean for an hour, in one of the island's more serene areas. The price includes bicycle use and use of the paddleboard. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness, and the tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
