How do I get there?

As you can see on this map, Holbox is located north of Cancun in Quintana Roo, at the top of the Yucatan Peninsula. While lots of the Riviera Maya is saturated with hotels and vacation resorts, this area is far enough away to have retained some real charm.


How To Get To Isla Holbox

There are several ways to reach Holbox. You could travel by car or public bus to Chiquila port and then catch the Holbox ferry across to the island. 

You can also fly to the island by plane. Your plan will depend on where you’re coming from.


Traveling To Isla Holbox By Plane

There’s a tiny airport on Isla Holbox, so you can reach the island by private plane. Most flights to Isla Holbox leave from Cancun airport, but you can also make arrangements to fly from Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cozumel and Merida. The journey time is around 40 minutes, making it the quickest way to reach Holbox.

You can visit the Flights Holbox website for more info.


Traveling To Isla Holbox By Public Bus

An affordable and easy route to get to Holbox is by public bus. Rather than the ‘colectivos’ (mini local buses) you see all over Mexico, these are smart coaches run by ADO (Mexico’s main bus network).

Getting to Holbox from Cancun, is pretty simple. The bus from Cancun to Chiquila takes around three and a half hours. 

The buses drop you off at the ferry port in Chiquila, where you can buy tickets for the ferry to the island.

You can check out all the latest prices and info on the ADO website.

  • Merida to Holbox – 418 MXN (5 hours 30)

  • Valladolid to Holbox – 198 MXN (2 hours 25)


Traveling To Isla Holbox By Car

As with the bus routes, if you travel by car, the furthest you can get is Chiquila port, where you’ll need to park up and hop on the Holbox ferry.

From Cancun, it’s just two hours by car to Chiquila. Once in the town, you’ll need to find somewhere to leave your car. There are lots of small car parks – i.e. enterprising locals letting you park in their yards/garages for a small fee (about 100 MXN pesos per day).


Catching The Isla Holbox Ferry From Chiquila

There are two ferry companies operating between Chiquila and Holbox offering the same service, at the same price. The only difference is that one runs on the hour, and the other on the half hour, meaning you’ll never wait long for the next boat.

The ferry to Holbox takes 15 minutes. Tickets for the Holbox ferry cost 150 MXN per person for adults.

The ferries start at 5am and finish around 8.30pm. Check out the times and more info here.


Traveling To Nômade On Isla Holbox

When you step off the ferry you’ll be greeted by a row of golf carts, ready to drive you to your Holbox accommodation. You’ll pay between 20-30 MXN (around $1 usd) to be driven a few minutes across the island to the center.

If you don’t have much luggage, then the walk to the main square takes less than ten minutes.
