Holbox is a cozy and small island in the northern Mexican Caribbean. With beautiful beaches and a crystal clear sea of very little depth, colorful wooden houses and sandy streets. A true paradise of tranquility, ideal for a pleasant rest in an ecological environment in total contact with nature.
With its incredible street art, its remarkably laid-back vibe, and its glorious scenery, Holbox Island is the perfect place to hide away from life’s stresses for a while. If you’re longing for an idyllic retreat far from the beaten path, you’ll want to put this welcoming island on your shortlist.
From a beach club, a church, souvenir shops, restaurant, baths and cottages Isla de la Pasión will meet any expectation for all tastes. The relaxed atmosphere of the Mexican Caribbean is present in each area, the greens of the trees that make up the island remind you that there are still places in the world as resplendent as this.

I was looking forward to this tour but unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. The transportation was seamless and bit long but I felt like time wasn’t long enough on Passion island (30min) and we never saw Punta Mosquito. You will take some beautiful pics I promise but maybe a little more guidance on what to do in Holbox would have been nice. So here’s my advice maybe take a tour that has less stops so you can enjoy the different locations. The staff was very nice and wonderful just need some better planning. Food at the restaurant they gave us was good.

Long, boring day. 2 hours on a bus to a tiny cenote. Had a few drinks at the bar, then back to the bus. A short boat ride to passion island, which is not the same beautiful passion island we had been to years before. This was a shallow area of water to walk around for about 30 minutes and see some birds. Another short boat ride to Holbox Island. Next was a 10 minute fast paced walk to the restaurant on the other side of the island. Lunch was okay, but very small servings. The kids were starving and we had to go to another restaurant to eat again after. We had a few hours of free time, which we planned to spend at the beach, but it was very windy and cold. Probably due to the time of year though. We went to a bar and got some appetizers for the kids. We decided to take a “taxi” back to the port to take the boat back and then another 2 hour ride back to Playa del Carmen.
We all agreed we should have spent the day at our resort instead and saved a ton of money,

We thought about it for a long time and then decided on this not so cheap tour. On top of that, we were picked up from Tulum and had to travel for a long time. BUT it was really worth it. The cenote is one of the less spectacular in Mexico but very welcome as a way to cool off. But what followed was really so beautiful! Isla de la pasion, punta mosquito and Holbox are breathtakingly beautiful! Really. If you are nearby and haven't planned a stop on Holbox anyway, do the tour! The food was also super delicious! The icing on the cake was that we saw dolphins on one of the speedboat rides. But even without this experience, the tour would have been totally worth it. Our guide spoke Spanish, English, Italian and French. Absolutely fluent. Unfortunately I can't remember his name but he was great! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyed the boat ride and passion island the most. More guidance on quiet areas of holbox would have been appreciated. Too big a tour group for our liking and had booked an English tour but things didn't always get translated for us.
