Holbox Island is a holiday within a holiday. On this private tour, you'll visit Isla Pasion on a boat trip, enjoy lunch at a five-star eco resort and enjoy a golf buggy tour of the island. Ariel, one of our local guides on this tour, says, ‘Holbox is a habitat for more than 300 endemic and migratory bird species. It's also something of a playground, with activities such as speedboats and beach buggies.'Board your boat at Chiquila – piloted by a local fisherman – and be whisked off on a two-hour coastal tour. Every other company uses the local ferry. Your guide will point out places known for their wildlife – some 150 bird species have been spotted on the island – and explain what efforts are being made to preserve this habitat. For three decades, Holbox has been part of Yum Balam Nature Reserve. And if you're doing the tour between June and September, you may be lucky enough to catch sight of the island's flamboyant flamingos.Plus, you'll discover the beauty of the secluded beaches of tiny Isla Pasion – Holbox itself boasts 36km of white-sand strands – before heading to the eco-resort for lunch followed by downtime on the sunloungers. Once your batteries are recharged, you'll hop into a golf buggy -the island's 1,000 residents don't use cars – for some fun exploring the surrounding area. To round off your visit to the island, we'll make our way to Holbox's main square for some free time – it's a great opportunity to pick up some souvenirs or sample local food.

The palette of colours that is the Yucatan sparkles on this wildlife-rich tour. Historic Valladolid, a crocodile refuge, Las Coloradas salt pans and the flamingos of the Rio Lagartos lagoon are the stars of this tour. Plus, you'll get to pamper yourself in a traditional Maya bath and enjoy lunch by the sea. Fernando, one of our local guides, says, ‘Because of their colour and grace, the flamingos are awesome to look at. But it's the crocodiles that fascinate me. You get to find out just how important they are to the local eco-system.'Colonial-era Valladolid is the early morning mood setter. This city radiates from a main square fringed with pastel-coloured single and two-storey homes with traditional grilled windows. Stroll through the old town, stopping for pics at sights such as the church of St Servacio or the Convent of St Bernardino of Siena. We'll then head to the moreletii crocodile sanctuary, where you'll learn all about these endemic reptiles. Then it's on to Las Coloradas, so named because of the pink hues given by the salt pans as they evaporate. Fernando says, ‘When the sky is cloudless and contrasts with the water, it's like seeing a masterpiece for the first time.'We rev it up a bit next with a boat trip to Rio Lagartos lagoon, a habitat for flamingos. Observe these elegant birds wading in shallow waters and take some snaps. There's an exfoliating mud bath to look forward before dropping into a family-owned restaurant for a lunch made from locally sourced products.
