Mexico's Best Paradise? Isla Holbox aka Holbox Island | Punta Caliza
Welcome to Holbox Island in Mexico! Isla Holbox is a small little paradise and an amazing island with a really special feel. Is it the next Tulum? The best paradise? Golf carts you say? ⬇ ???? Punta Caliza is the name of the hotel we stayed at, check out pricing and reviews here —
Mexico is full of beautiful scenery and stunning beaches, but everyones version of paradise is a little different. From our experience so far, Isla Holbox is as close to paradise in Mexico as we've found and a lot more our style than the likes of Tulum or Cancun. Holbox Island is relatively small, a bit difficult to reach and has the risk of being over populated in the wrong seasons — but from our experience it all fell into place for the better. Our favourite place in Mexico.
Looking for hotel recommendations in Holbox? Punta Caliza is the name of the hotel we showed in the video, definitely an amazing place to stay, check out pricing and reviews here —
Holbox Island is approximately 41.84 kilometres (26.00 miles) long and 1.5 kilometres (0.9 miles) wide, so it's easy to explore the whole thing in a few days. The best way to do that is with a golf cart, which is honestly such a fun way to explore.
Mexico is so large there's likely hundreds of places that tick similar boxes to Holbox, many that we've kept notes of from your recommendations in comments and messages, but Holbox will forever be a special little paradise for us.

--~--
????????ISLA HOLBOX - MEXICO - If you're planning a Mexico trip in 2018 and are heading to Quintana Roo or Yucatan, you may decide on taking a trip to Isla Holbox, an island just a few hours journey by bus and boat from Valladolid or Cancun.
But you may be about to type into Youtube 'How to get to Isla Holbox'? And what do you do once you're there in terms of accommodation, ATMs and more? In this video I talk you through some Isla Holbox Basics, ie everything you need to know for your Isla Holbox trip!
Isla Holbox is a great location for solo travellers, couples and families with many thuings to do including swimming with whale sharks. One watch out is mosquitos, take bug spray! And the flooding of the roads can be frustrating! But overall I had a great few days there soaking up the sun after 3 months in Mexico.
This is my final video from Mexico (for now, I'll be back in September 2018), so I hope you enjoyed my Mexico videos. Next up are videos from Cuba and Colombia!

How to get to Isla Mujeres - HD Video
Planes, boats, and automobiles....That's what it takes to get to Isla Mujeres, MX, from California. And it's worth it! When researching this voyage, I came to the conclusion it mighta be nice to shoot a vid that shows what it looks like. I traveled from LAX to the island in 2018, and other than a soul-crushing hour-plus line at Mexico customs, it went as well as one could hope for.
