“This company is one of the best shuttle companies in Cancun. They pick us up from the airport terminal to our hotel in downtown Cancun.”

What to expect
Holbox is a paradise in the north of Quintana Roo, inside the Yum Balam Flora and Fauna Protection Area. It is known for its beautiful white-sand beaches and the calm of an island where cars are practically absent.
Getting there means a road trip from Cancun to the port of Chiquilá, about 2 hours away, followed by a ferry crossing of about 25 minutes. On Holbox the streets are sand, and you get around on foot, by bike or by golf cart, which also works as a taxi.
Highlights include Punta Mosquito, an untouched beach on the north side of the island where, with luck, you can spot flamingos and pelicans, and Playa Holbox, in the center, with restaurants and services. Don't miss a souvenir photo at the Holbox letters.
After a day at the beach, try the local seafood restaurants; many overlook the sea and others are in the village center. If you love pizza, this is where you can find lobster pizza!
If you like fishing, Cabo Catoche is the place: head out by boat and fish at your own pace. And if you travel between May and September, it's whale shark season, an activity booked separately.
There is no doubt Holbox is one of the most beautiful islands in Mexico. Take lots of pictures of its street art and don't miss a thing the island has to offer.

“We decided to book a roundtrip with etransfers online. We used a promo code, it was the most affordable shuttle option we found in Cancun. The drivers were waiting for us at the airport upon arrival and were punctual for our return journey from the hotel. They were polite, drove safely, and provided excellent service. I will definitely choose them again for my future trips.”
