The easiest way to reach Holbox from Cancun is on the daily direct bus for Chiquila' (needs like 3-3,5 hr), the closest mainland town by ferry. The bus leaves Cancun at 7:45 and 12:45 pm and another one at 13:45 pm. Careful!!! Keep your bag with valuables close to you on the bus!
From Cancun, you take the “Libre” to Merida (No Cuota), you’ll pass through a town called Leona Vicario, 15 km after that you’ll slow down for a Speed bump in a cross road called “Nuevo Valladolid”, there you’ll turn RIGHT. You’ll pass two small villages until you’ll arrive to a T turn and you’ll go RIGHT. The brand new road will take you through a town called Kantunilkin; you’ll keep going another 40 km on the same road, until you reach the port town of Chiquila. Once there, try to find the best deal in one of the plenty of parking lots in Chiquila. The cost should be around 30-40 pesos per day.
For you crazy people, the directions are the same as for the car. Just remember that cycling by night on Mexican roads can be dangerous, with some crazy drivers! You’ll also get a 25% of discount, just because we admire you!
A bus from Merida (5-6hr) and Valladolid (3hr) leaves at 23:30 pm from Merida and arrives in time for the 6:00 am ferry. Transferring in Tizimin (3hr) is a little easier, with a choice of three daytime buses. You can also take any second-class bus along Hwy-180 “Libre” and get off at the tiny town of El Ideal; from there you can catch a taxi north to Chiquila' for about 300 pesos, or, if you time it right, transfer to the bus coming from Cancun, which passes through around 09:30 am and 2.30 pm.
Coming from Merida (more or less 4 hr) by car you will take Hwy# 180 libre east towards Cancun, passing Valladolid and continue until El Ideal. Here turn left to the north and the road will lead you strait to Chiquila’, while passing little “pueblitos” Kantunilkin and Solferino. Park your car (30-40 pesos per day) and take the ferry to Holbox.
