Flight
Cancun International Airport (CUN) is the best place to fly into to get to Isla Holbox. Holbox is about 2.5hrs away from the airport, so it's a good idea to book an early morning flight to maximize your time on the island! We kindly ask that once you book your flights, please send them to Lizzie at reservations@angelinacardenas.com.
Travel Note
Once you’ve arrived in Cancun, there are two ways to get to the island. You can either take a private shuttle to the Chiquila Ferry or book a hopper flight directly to the island. You can book your private shuttle to meet you at the airport using the link below or contact my wedding coordinator for more information.
Travel Note
Once in Chiquila, the ferry to Holbox departs every 30 minutes and is approximately 15 minutes long. Ferry tickets are ~$12 USD and can be purchased upon arriving in Chiquila. Once you arrive in Holbox, there will be a line of taxi golf carts ready to take you to your hotel.
Flight
For those who really want to get to the island quickly, there is the option to charter a plane from the Cancun Airport to Holbox. The total flight time is about 25 minutes. For reference, a flight for up to 5 people, holding a max of 727lbs (including luggage) costs around $540USD. Please keep in mind the weight limit (I know this group isn't known to pack light ;)
Travel Note
Vehicles are a rarity on the island, but everything is so close that complimentary hotel bicycles and walking are the best ways to get around. Personal golf carts are available to rent for the duration of your stay as well as golf cart taxis that can be hailed or more reliably called by the front desk. We don't recommend renting a cart during the week as the taxis are readily available.
Travel Note
For how tiny the island is, there is no limit to the incredible hotel options. We've provided a few here that are great options and close to the wedding venue. You can make reservations directly through the hotel website or contact Lizzie to help. We suggest booking asap given it will be the weekend after Memorial day.
