Everything you need to know before visiting Isla Holbox Mexico. In this video I've got tips about using cash, credit cards, saving money, the ferry, getting around and more.
I cover how long you should stay in Holbox, whether or not its worth visiting (some Tulum/Sayulita similarities), we compare Isla Holbox to Isla Mujeres to help you decide, show you how to get to Holbox Island from Cancun (including a super cheap way) and a few more tips.
It's also one of the best dog friendly destinations in Mexico!

I just got back from Holbox and enjoyed watching your video. Great info! Only thing I would suggest is a slightly longer stay. 3 nights in my opinion is the minimum, I was there for 8 nights (part of a 4 week vacation) and thought it was a good amount of time to relax and enjoy the island.

I was there for around 9 days and needed the break after travelling to various towns by bus and hostels and getting away from hurricane warnings etc ! It was a nice island with a good vibe.

I'm coming for 2 weeks on Holbox next May. I hope there's still horses to ride as I'm from Montana and have ridden all my life. I'm so excited and am counting the days. I don't mind a little seaweed. 🌊🌊🌊🐎🐎🐎🏖🌴🌴🌴

Hi! I have very important question regarding the drones. I have read that you cannot fly drone in Mexico if you are not citizen. However I see lot s of videos from tourists flying the drone in Holbox. I really want to bring my drone with me, but not sure how strict are they. Could you advice?

Sounds fun. But I definitely do not consider Isla Mujeres a "mini Cancun." Maybe about a 1/4 mile of Av Rudea Medina right near the ferry. Not sure where you are coming up with that, but other than that, nothing about Isla says Cancun. In fact, I have never gone back to Cancun or anywhere else on main land Mexico on I discovered Isla.

Do you recommend buying the ferry tickets when you get there or pre book? How did you get back? The shuttle picks up at the same drop off location?

Would it be best to pre-order the ADO bus from cancun to chiquila? Or are they easy to find and can just anyone hop on?
@alysmalls
@alysmalls Год назад
Either or - if you know your schedule I would pre-book, but we just bought tickets at the bus stations since we didn't know when we'd be arriving

Just arrived to Holbox and I think my expectations were way too high. I don’t know where the turquoise water that I saw in videos and images is but the beaches I found here look like swamps with very murky water nowhere near as the images. Unfortunately very underwhelming

Been to Holbox, and it has to be one of the most overrated locations I have ever been to. The beaches are nothing special, green and murky. The town is a mess and, in parts, a complete rubbish dump. It is far from being an eco-friendly, car-free location. The taxis they use are bigger than most cars in Europe, and there are very large pickup trucks everywhere. There is standing water in the streets, which contains a mix of sewerage and cement. The whole place is a prime example of somewhere which has been damaged by uncontrolled tourism.
