Holbox’s self-guided options make perfect sense for independent travelers who want to explore at their own pace.
The downtown walking tour ($8 per group) smartly uses QR codes for instant access to local insights and merchant discounts – it’s efficient and economical.
A more active choice combines biking with stand-up paddleboarding ($37), providing all equipment needed while hitting the island’s key spots.
I especially like the walking tour for its simplicity and value, letting visitors discover hidden corners of town without being tied to a schedule.
Let’s look at what these tours actually include.
