How to get to Holbox
Here is how you can get to Holbox:
By land
You can do it by car, shuttle or buses (which leave from Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum); and it is necessary to travel by road to the port of Chiquilá, which is where the ferries to Holbox depart.
- If you have a car, in Chiquilá you will find public parking lots to leave it.
By water
There are two ferry companies that, at 30-minute intervals, offer the service. The first crossing from Chiquilá is at 6:00 AM, and the last one returns from Holbox at 9:30 PM.
by air
A more sophisticated option is to arrive by plane. Private flights to Holbox can be hired from Isla Mujeres, Cancun, Cozumel and Playa del Carmen.
