A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
One of the best things about working at GoTravelDaily is that discussing travel plans is considered work. And we have much to discuss. It seems that nearly every week, one or more of my colleagues explores an incredible destination and returns with inspiring stories and travel tips.
GoTravelDaily’s travel expert recently returned from a weekend in Isla Holbox, Mexico. Here she shares trip highlights and what to prepare for before you step foot on the island.
Located on the Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun is one of Mexico’s premier destinations. With its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and ancient Mayan ruins, there is something to captivate every traveler. With numerous options available, deciding what to do can be quite challenging. Below, we present a curated list of the best experiences in Cancun and its nearby areas that are guaranteed to enrich your visit.
Swimming alongside the largest fish in the sea is one of the ultimate bucket-list experiences. Fortunately, there are several destinations where in-season sightings of whale sharks are almost guaranteed, from Mexico to Mozambique.
On Mexico’s tiny island of Holbox—where spotty wi-fi and sporadic siestas are part of the charm—unplugging is as easy as arriving. Living up to its name, meaning ‘black hole’ in Mayan, Holbox (pronouncedole-bosh) feels like a portal to one of Mexico’s last unspoiled tropical islands.
One thing you must do when exploring Cancun is to visit Isla Holbox in Mexico. It is undoubtedly one of the most stunning islands to visit, and it can be really seamless, provided you adhere to some essential tips for a smooth trip.
Each May through November, a remarkable event occurs in the waters north of Cancun. Whale sharks arrive at their summer breeding grounds in the warm, plankton-rich waters off Isla Holbox. If you’re planning a visit to this area, don’t miss the chance to swim with these magnificent creatures—the largest fish in the ocean, weighing up to 20 tons and reaching lengths of 40 feet—during a tour that departs from Holbox.
With over 5,700 miles of coastline, Mexico boasts beautiful beaches beyond the popular tourist spots.
