Got 3 days in Isla Holbox? This itinerary balances adventure, nature and rest to experience the best of the island.
Day 1 · Arrival and sunset
Arrive in the morning (see how to get to Holbox), settle in and explore town by bike or golf cart. At night, witness the bioluminescence or paddle the bioluminescent kayak.
Day 2 · Whale sharks (season Jun–Aug)
The big day: head out early to swim with the whale shark, Holbox's flagship experience. In the afternoon, relax on the beach and enjoy a ceviche.
Day 3 · 3 Islands Tour and flamingos
Explore Birds Island, Punta Mosquito and Passion Island: birds, pink flamingos and paradise beaches before you leave.
Tips for your trip
- Book tours in advance, especially during whale shark season.
- Bring cash and biodegradable sunscreen.
- No cars: get around by bike, cart or on foot.
Outside whale shark season? Swap Day 2 for more beach, snorkeling and the 3 islands tour.
