What’s up guys? It’s Zac and Ine from
World Wild Hearts here and today we
are in Holbox. It’s an island in the gulf
of Mexico. We’re going to spend, like,
a few days here and we’re going to check
out like the best things to do.
We’re right now actually on the number one.
The fifth best thing to do on Isla Holbox
is relax on the beach. The island has
a variety of beaches to choose from
and all of them offer a different experience.
But our favorite to relax on was Isla
Holbox Beach on the Northern side
of the island. That’s because it has a
pristine strip of white sand stretching
for miles. It’s so shallow that you can
walk for five minutes into the water and
still be standing, making for the perfect
natural pool zone. There are also many
beach bars on this side which offer shade
during the hot days. So take a swim,
have a drink, and enjoy a meal at Isla Holbox Beach.
Coming in at number four,
we have exploring the island by bike.
Isla Holbox is known for its chill vibe and
relaxing atmosphere. Having a bike allows
you to explore the island at your own pace
and find hidden spots where not many
other tourists are. You can also hire a golf
cart taxi to take you around if you would like
for a small fee or rent your own golf cart to
tour the island while you are there.
Holbox has no paved roads, so walking is
also a nice relaxing way to see what the
island has to offer. Make sure to also grab
a bite at one of the local restaurants downtown.
Roots has a great lobster pizza!
The third best thing to do on Isla Holbox is
seeing the bioluminescence. About an hour
after sunset, it gets dark enough to see
plankton glowing green in the water.
It takes about forty minutes to walk to the
point from downtown and you also
have the option of taking a taxi or
doing a guided tour.
It’s very hard to capture on camera,
so we had to use a few stock pictures,
but trust us, this is actually how it looks
to your eye when you splash the water
and see the bioluminescence in person.
The runner up activity to do in Isla Holbox
is watching the sunset. Since the North
beaches and Punta Cocos both face
the sunset, they are the most ideal places
to watch the sun go down from.
We got to witness two beautiful sunsets
ourselves and saw the sky painted a
magnificent orange and red color each time.
It’s the perfect way to end a relaxing beach
day on the island.
And the best activity to do on the island
is walk the golden sandbar pathway.
Starting on the North side of the island
at the end of Avenida Demero,
you can enter the ocean and find
your way onto a strip of winding sand
that stretches for kilometers all the way
to Mosquito Point. This natural sandbar
only reveals itself at low tide, so make
sure to ask the locals when that is or
check the tide tables online before you
plan your sandbar adventure. Many people
don’t make it to Mosquito Point because
it’s a far walk to get there, but we definitely
recommend to go all the way as we had
almost the entire beautiful white sand
beach to ourselves. You can also walk
back on the mainland from Mosquito Point
to make a loop out of the adventure.
Just make sure to bring lots of water!
One thing we didn’t get the chance to
do on our trip was swim with the Whale Sharks.
Holbox is known for this activity and
we were about 3 weeks too early to see them.
However, if we would have been there at
the right time, we’re pretty sure this would
have been our number one activity!
If you want to swim with the Whale Sharks
yourself, make sure to visit Isla Holbox
between June and September.
All right, that’s it for our video today guys.
