Holbox 3-Island Private Boat Tour: Punta Mosquito, Passion Island & Yalahau Swim

You step off the ferry into Holbox’s slow rhythm — golf carts hum, the air tastes of salt and grilled fish, and a small yellow office one block from the dock becomes the portal to a quieter sea. The boat cuts through shallow turquoise like a knife through glass; the water parts respectfully, revealing white sandbars that seem to float just below the surface. Birds pick at the margins, and the skipper points toward a sandbank that, for much of the year, hosts flocks so dense they look like a moving shoreline.
