Mexico’s Isla Holbox
Season 3
Episode 305
Accessible by a twenty-minute ferry through calm waters, Holbox is an outdoor lover’s paradise comprised of a series of beaches, a protected nature reserve, and a tiny town dotted with restaurants and shops. Its charm…is its undeveloped authenticity…and ability to see and swim with the largest sharks in the world: the massive (but friendly and plankton-eating) whale sharks.
