Made for the island

The money stays with the people of Holbox.

Holbox Go was born on the island, with the golf-cart cooperatives, the couriers on bikes, the family stores and the tour operators. The app charges a small booking fee; the tariff, the tips and the work stay here.

We care for Holbox

An island that glows at night deserves care by day.

Holbox is part of the Yum Balam Flora and Fauna Protection Area. There are no cars, the sand is the street and the sea has its seasons. We designed the app to move the way the island asks.

  • Whale shark swimming at the surface near Holbox

    Whale sharks

    Regulated season, roughly May to September. Only with licensed operators, no touching, keep your distance.

  • Sea turtles

    They nest on the beaches in summer. No white lights on the beach at night, and never step on marked nests.

  • Bioluminescence

    On dark nights the water lights up when you move it. No flashlights, no sunscreen in the water, take nothing.

  • Mangroves and lagoon channels of Holbox from the air

    Mangroves

    They protect the island from storms and are a fish nursery. They are best explored by kayak or paddle, slowly and leaving nothing behind.

  • Flamingos on the shore of the Holbox lagoon

    Flamingos

    You can see them from the lagoon shore. Watch from afar: when they get spooked, they burn energy they need.

  • No cars: carts, bikes and on foot
  • Tours with visible seasons and rules
  • Bike deliveries wherever possible
