Holbox Island Day Trip: Birdwatching & Beach Day

Discover an Off-the-Beaten-Path, Natural Paradise on this Holbox Island Day Trip

On this full-day experience at Holbox Island, discover the Yucatan’s natural seaside paradise, characterized by spectacular landscapes, pristine nature, and outstanding birdlife. With no paved roads and a “barefoot” local attitude towards life, Holbox is a peaceful getaway and truly off-the-beaten-path ocean-side paradise.

On your Holbox Island Day Trip: Take a short boat ride to the tiny, isolated paradise of Isla Pasión, and walk along the wooden docks for spectacular bird watching. Take a dip or relax in the sand at Isla Secreta, Holbox’s virgin white-sand beach with crystal clear waters. Later, swim in a natural limestone cenote sinkhole surrounded by mangrove forest. Fall in love with Holbox Island’s natural wonders, tranquil atmosphere, and outdoor attitude.

Highlights

• Relax and swim at Isla Secreta, a white-sand virgin beach with turquoise water and overhanging palms.
