Never visited HolBox, but I spent a few days in EL Cuyo beginning this year and I fell in love with the place for being so quiet, having so few people on its infinitely long beautiful beach, and I would like to return one day despite that while driving back to the airport I had to bribe the police twice. That was a very mexican experience!

    Sunset is so fab. Did you go to the dark sky reserve area for the bioluminescence? Incredible on a clear night. Like a dome of stars. Magical. The kayak tour of the mangroves is also fabulous. Go early while still cool. And the boat tour to the other little islands and bird reserve. Super cool. The water is only about 15 - 30 inches deep. You're really missing the best parts of the island.

We travel a lot and we always try to learn the basics in the local language. I just feel like it’s respectful, and usually locals really appreciate us trying even if we’re not perfect! Isla Holbox looks awesome!

    So sad you couldn't go all the way to Punta Mosquito. I recommend you to go to Holbox during a drier season and go to Punta Mosquito as it is a _heaven_, so so beautiful. If someone asks me what is my favorite place on earth, it's Punta Mosquito. I found you guys only a few days ago on RUclips, I really love watching your videos, you guys seem genuinely such nice people, and Laska is super cute! I love how you really get in to know to the culture and food, and really care about the nature and getting to know to the locals. Mexico has a special place in my heart, however I've only visited Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche and Chiapas, but I hope someday I could travel around the country like you have.

    I'm in Holbox right now as I'm re-watching this video (I arrived just today) - cause I want to know which restaurants are good.... But yeah, the roads here are insane. I came with one large piece of luggagge and as my airbnb was really close to the port and I wanted to save money, I decided not to taky any taxi. Well, I did save money but it was quite an ordeal as the road was full of water and a sidewalk was barely existent. On top of that, it took me some time to find the appartment. But everything turned out just fine. I'm in the departamento Brisa del Mar, which is right at the mainstreet and very, very cozy and clean. And the landlord has an extremely cute dog. Tomorrow I want to book a tour and the day after tomorrow I definitely want to walk toward Punta Mosquitos. Can't wait to explore this abandoned part of the world.

    I think you guys went on a raining season, and It all depends where you stay. Holbox is way cheaper than Tulum, for a beach front hotel, Tulum is way more expensive. Holbox is an island to go and relax, there is not much to do, a few tours and whale sharks but only during season, so it’s more of a relax place.

That is actually a very popular tourist activity at Holbox, the tourist take out the dogs for a walk 😍!!!! And if you go to Holbox during raining season you have to take rain boots, because there is no way you will not get your feet wet, it’s just part of the experience. People just go in the puddles to get across or take your shoes off and jump in lol!!!
