Travelers

The day begins before the sun fully warms the Caribbean. You step onto a low-slung panga as the harbor fog peels back and Holbox’s sugar-white shore sharpens into focus. The engine hums, the boat slips free of Chiquilá’s mangrove fringe, and salt spray daubs your face like a promise: this is a tour that moves with the water — from calm lagoons to the broad, exposed sandbars where birds and tides decide the schedule.

Adventure Tips

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen

The sun is strong on open water and beaches; use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect both skin and marine life.

Carry cash for lunch and tips

Small beach restaurants and local vendors may not accept cards—bring pesos for meals and gratuities.

Wear water shoes

Sandbars, shells and seagrass beds can be sharp and slippery—light water shoes make boarding and beach walks easier.

Head out early

Morning departures usually mean calmer seas, better light for photography, and more active shorebirds.

History

Holbox has a long history as a fishing and seabird harvesting community; its isolation preserved traditional lifestyles until tourism increased in the 21st century.

Conservation

Local operators emphasize low‑impact visits and reef‑safe products; stay on designated paths and avoid disturbing nesting birds to reduce your footprint.
