Experience life on the island of Holbox, Mexico!

Holbox is a small island located off the northern tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. This fascinating gem of an island boasts many attractions for tourism such as kite surfing, wind surfing, snorkeling, fishing, Kayaking, and authentic cuisine! Holbox is part of the Yum Balam Wildlife Preserve, which allows for observation of many rare and endangered aquatic bird species, a bird watchers paradise! The Pink Flamingo has found Holbox to be a favorite summer retreat.

A testament to how well Holbox has managed the preserve in what has now become an annual event is the summer visit paid to Holbox by a large group of whale sharks. These large but gentle creatures can be observed in their natural habitat during this time. Truly a rare once in a lifetime experience.

For those looking to take in more of the Yucatan and Mayan culture, trips to the mainland are easily scheduled. Take a day to explore the ruins, the Mayan cities abandoned by a culture that is nearly extinct today.

Be back on the island in time to relax and watch the sun set!
