Paradise Awaits
This morning, we're catching a ferry to Isla Holbox, aka paradise! Imagine sunny beaches, clear waters, lively marine life, and laid-back villages. We'll soak up the island vibe, eat some local food, watch the sunset, and groove to tropical tunes at a beach bar under the stars.
Isla Holbox Boat Tour
Today, we're diving (literally) into the wonders of Isla Holbox with a boat tour. On the lookout for those Instagram-worthy pink flamingos, we'll visit secret island hideaways and explore a local cenote. The afternoon is yours to snag a hammock, perhaps finally read that book you've been lugging around. Sea, chill, repeat – it's the ultimate day to unwind and disconnect. Tonight we'll enjoy an included beach BBQ for dinner.
Playa del Carmen
Today our Mexican escapade takes us back into the Yucatan. We'll settle into our last hotel in Playa del Carmen with ample time to soak up all the beaches, bars, and tacos this renowned hotspot has to offer. Anyone up for souvenir hunting?
