Oh my goodness, I have been researching Isla Holbox, and this video was great to give me a feel for the island - but honestly, you guys as a couple - your humor, your smiles, the way you present the material, it was so delightful to watch! You guys are the whole package! Made my evening, thanks! :)

[@TouristtoLocal]

Glad you enjoyed it! We really appreciate your support :)

[@amyreel8933]

You guys are adorable! We've been dreaming of visiting Holbox for over a year and now I'm determined to book our travel soon! Thank you so much for the helpful video.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Awww yay! You're going to love it here. Thanks for watching!

[@anadelreal1736]

Great video! I'm researching Holbox to prepare for my solo trip in 5 days. You were very informative.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Happy to help! Have an amazing trip!

[@daverogers3837]

A very popular destination for tourists. Not really hidden...been there several times last couple years

[@RigiLiquid945]

Thank you for not having B-roll music that is 6 times louder than when you're talking (unlike some other youtubers).

[@TouristtoLocal]

The art of understanding audio waves! Glad you notice our efforts :)

Thanks for watching!!!!

[@jeremyhollyer977]

Thanks for a great video.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Our pleasure! Glad you liked it!

[@vanessazsorey7467]

Currently planning a vacation out that way and was stuck between Holbox & Isla Mujeres! After watching this, seems like Holbox is a no brainer. Great to know that traveling there from Cancun is easy, that was my biggest hold up!

[@TouristtoLocal]

YAY! So glad we influenced you 😎 we definitely vote holbox over Isla mujeres! Nothing wrong with isla mujeres, but the vibe here was way more laid back and quiet!

[@QueenSonora]

I've been to Isla Mujeres and am actually visiting Holbox soon. Definitely check out Isla Mujeres next time you are wanting a more sociable and fun vibe - there's lots of restaurants, bars, late night walking and socializing there! :)

[@keithwynkoop9588]

BEST video I have EVER seen, hilarious AND SO informative . I am going there to celebrate my retirement in December with you.! Thank you TTL!❤

[@TouristtoLocal]

🙌 that’s what we like to hear!!!

[@BonVoyageCruiseTravel]

What a beautiful place. It does remind me of the unspoiled Isla Mujeres in the late ‘80s! Amazing as always, you two are so fun to watch! I’ve wanted to go to Holbox for awhile now, now I can’t wait! 🐚

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thanks so much for watching!!!! We are so glad we went here

[@EtwasfürDich]

THank you! Any Tipps for Horse Back Riding?

[@KerriAlexander]

Great Video!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thanks for watching!

[@cindyk3076]

"Hips don't lie", that's classic, Martin! I love that you can walk fairly far out into the ocean and the water is just knee deep and the critters you found were so cool, especially the starfish. Holbox is so beautiful.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Martín caught me sooo off guard with that like 😂😂😂 it really is such a beautiful place! Thanks for watching!

[@lyc.6086]

Just discovered your channel. Planning our first trip to Mexico with our 4 yr old. We wanted to give him a more rich experience than what an all inclusive resort can give. Your videos are so fun, humorous and informative. You have given us a few great ideas. We can't wait for our adventure!

[@TouristtoLocal]

What a kind message! Thank you!! Holbox would be a fantastic place for your family to visit. Thanks for watching!

[@Jm-lp2cz]

Thanks so much for making this video! With bike rental, do you recall if there were any rentals for kid-sized bikes?

[@RicardoFerreira-le2dz]

Next time you guys gotta do a bioluminescence tour in holbox. It's amazing!

[@TouristtoLocal]

We would love to do that next time!

[@LocaldudeCA]

I love this long video, and this island. I’d never heard of it and it looks amazing.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Yay glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@TouristtoLocal]

That’s awesome!!! SO GOOD!!!

[@user-dx6jt4cd9w]

Muy buen video y information 👍👍

[@TouristtoLocal]

Muchas gracias!!

[@amadeuszradosz7353]

Hey guys, cool video! How did you get from the Cancun airport to the bus terminal? Or where you not coming from the airport? Any recommendations for airport to bus terminal transfer?

[@TouristtoLocal]

We were staying in downtown, so we actually went to the bus terminal that was a few blocks from where we were staying. You could actually take the Holbox bus directly from the airport itself, as there is a stop there! There's also an ADO bus from the airport to the downtown station. Whatever you choose, you can view the times online on ADO's website.

[@DrCrystalHarris]

Definitely now on my Mexico bucket list 💚 the nature views were amazing

[@TouristtoLocal]

You'd love it here :) Thanks for watching!

[@atuanyahayward]

Quick holiday booked for august.. definitely trying places you guys mentioned

[@TouristtoLocal]

Have the best time! Thanks for watching!

[@craigstewart7359]

Hello. We will be at playa del Carmen In 12 days and want to do Isla mujeres or holbox which do you recommend if only can do one. I'm swaying to Isla mujeres as it's nearer and with the trip alcohol drinks are included but looking into it most prefer holbox. I'd like to here your opinion thanks.

[@erinjohnson8117]

My husband and I learned about Holbox a few months ago and have been planning a trip here ever since, so your video is a huge help!! Cannot wait! Also, where did you buy your white tank top at the end of the video? Thanks for all you guys do!! ❤

[@TouristtoLocal]

Yay! That’s exactly what we hope to hear ❤️ glad this video helped! Tank top is from Abercrombie: www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/essential-rib-90s-tank-51433319?seq=02

[@SergioMZA]

Great video guys! This May I'm going for my 4th time to Holbox! Thats how much i Love this place! One needs at least 3 days to enjoy this little island, try to avoid september to november due to rainy season. Bring bug repellent , because the mosquitoes here are no joke.- This island is Best place to relax, lay back and enjoy.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Woah!! 4 times?! You’re living the dream! Thanks so much for sharing these tips :)

[@teestoymirando9105]

México is beautiful ❤❤❤❤first time I heard about this paradise

[@TouristtoLocal]

We're glad we could share this place with you!

[@KTR__]

How was the reception/wifi there?

[@TouristtoLocal]

I remember our reception was bad when we weren't connected to wifi. I can't quite recall the wifi speeds unfortunately.

[@525taytay]

How much was the bus to Chiquila? Because I keep looking and it’s very expensive.

[@silviazapata3854]

[@TouristtoLocal]

Unfortunately we don't recall :( Sorry about that!

Wish we could have stayed forever!

I'm going to Cancun next week. How far of a drive is and boat ride to get Holbox from Cancun? Online its saying 2.5hrs?

That seems about right! Btw you may find this video helpful that we made the other week👇 EPIC 9-Day Itinerary to Cancun, Cozumel, Xcaret + MORE 🏝️ Tips + Things to do in the Riviera Maya kzbin.info/www/bejne/oquze3qXbbd6qJI

HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN TO BACALAR LAKE. ?

[@TouristtoLocal]

We have not! We almost went during this trip but didn’t have time. We will come back to do that :)

[@doncorleone482]

What time of year did you go?

[@oliviagonzalez4501]

Where should one buy the bud tickets

[@TouristtoLocal]

You can get them on the ADO website!

[@ruchika5502]

I was told a lot of construction is undergoing on Isla Holbox

[@jullymay9389]

Help me which airport to fly in from overseas then catch ferry to the islands..is it safe i terms of crime..Thank you

[@TouristtoLocal]

It's extremely safe :) You can get here by flying to Cancun and taking the ADO bus directly from the airport to Chiquila. Then you just take the ferry. Have a great time!

[@lindylee1139]

Looks like a less developed version of Isla Mujeres?

[@TouristtoLocal]

Except the water here is totaaaaaally different! Way calmer, you can walk for miles out into the see! It’s so pristine here :)

[@AzulBlueQueen1944]

How much is 220 Pesos in Dollars?

[@TouristtoLocal]

Today it is 12.86 USD, but it changes every day.

[@sOsOmega]

How's the safety or crime?

[@TouristtoLocal]

No crime or safety issues that we've heard of. It's a very small town and relaxed place.

[@ExtraEmail-m3v]

Roots did not invent lobster pizza. 25 years ago local native “Chefo” invented it after being invited to work in Italy . Upon return he opened Edelyn Pizza in front of the park. “Chefo’s”. (But honestly now lobsters have been over fished to support this trend of lobster pizza, so they are scarce & too small;(

[@TouristtoLocal]

Good to know!!

[@jeremiahrygh8119]

The intro is not accurate. I live in the Yucatan and have been all over. Compared to cancun etc, Holbox is off the beaten path. But Holbox is veeeeery touristy. Definitely not sleepy.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Interesting! We had such a different experience. Perhaps it was the time of year.

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Yep I was there yesterday small place expensive food lol

[@theTimHernandez]

i am gald you were able to walk for hours and see noone there. That was not my expereince at all!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Interesting! What time of year did you go?

[@AzulBlueQueen1944]

But...Is it Safe?

[@TouristtoLocal]

Absolutely!! Super safe!

[@KeppadaTV]

Just arrived to holbox and to me this is far from paradise. There is sargassum, prices are really high, way too many people and the island is completely flat. If you want to visit true paradise islands go koh chang koh good in thailand or koh rong in kambodza. Even bacalar in mexico feels way more relaxed and more beautiful with less tourists

[@TouristtoLocal]

Interesting! Our experience was very different in January. Sargassum starts to become a problem as summer approaches. Thailand is gorgeous!

[@theCranesUS]

@@TouristtoLocalheading to Holbox next week.

[@CarolineDupont-wv7js]

Sorry guys i cannot recomand holbox. i went there Dec 21 Jan 22, garbage everywhere, full of water with lots of mosquitos, expensive good...mmmmm Not fantastic. On the red sea now, lost village.not the same at all
