Holbox Day Trip including Isla Pasión, Punta Mosquito & Yalahau Spring with lunch and round-trip transportation

from $284

Duration

12 hours

Type

Guided

Difficulty

Easy

Trade pavement for powder-soft sand as you skim across the Yum Balam Biosphere toward a barefoot day in Holbox. Start where the sea quiets down: Isla Pasión, scanning the shoreline for flamingos, herons, and pelicans. Glide over mirror-flat shallows to Punta Mosquito, a silver ribbon of sand perfect for minimalist photos and slow living. Your crew sets a simple, elegant beachside picnic, then points the bow toward Holbox town for mural hunts, boho cafés, and a taste of island rhythm. Cap it in the crystal waters of Yalahau spring, where time stretches and worries shrink. Open-water navigation may reveal wild dolphins along the way; sightings are natural and never guaranteed.
