15 Things To Do in Holbox for Luxury Travelers – Coleman Concierge

Kayak Through the Mangroves in Isla Holbox

By this point in this Holbox guide, you should be familiar with Playa Mosquito and Punta Mosquito. Playa Mosquito is a pristine beach on the east side of Holbox which takes you to Punta Mosquito, where the estuaries reach the ocean. This section is about kayaking tours through the mangroves on Isla Holbox.

There are sunrise, sunset, and daytime tours available, which leave from the near side of Playa Mosquito. These paddling trips take you along the sandbars and into the miles of channels through the Holbox mangrove reserve. You’ll get closer to the mangrove-dwelling creatures like flamingos, osprey, and pelicans than you would on a motorboat and feel connected to nature, as only human-powered travel can provide and go where bigger boats can not travel. Kayaking in Holbox is a mellow trip suitable for paddlers of all levels.
