Holbox Island

Part of the Quintana Roo state, Holbox is situated in the northern part of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the Yum Balam Nature Reserve. Holbox is known for its pristine, white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The island is surrounded by mangroves, lagoons, and a diverse ecosystem, making it a haven for nature lovers.

Holbox is a relatively small island, stretching approximately 26 miles in length and 1.5 miles in width, known for its laid-back and bohemian atmosphere. The lack of paved roads and cars contributes to its laid-back and tranquil atmosphere. The island is home to various wildlife, including flamingos, pelicans, and other bird species. One of the island's highlights is the opportunity to swim with whale sharks, especially during the summer months when they migrate to the region.

Holbox is dedicated to sustainable tourism, and efforts are made to preserve the natural environment. Visitors can explore the island on foot, by bike, or in golf carts, the main transportation mode. The town has a charming, relaxed atmosphere with colourful buildings, small shops, and fresh seafood restaurants. The local community is friendly, and the island has a strong sense of community. The main village on the island, also called Holbox, is where most of the island's amenities are located. It offers a range of accommodation options, from boutique hotels to cosy guesthouses.

For Ocean Sports Hotbox is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and kiteboarding. The calm waters and shallow lagoons make it an ideal destination for water enthusiasts.

Holbox is a hidden gem that attracts travellers seeking a more off-the-beaten-path experience in Mexico. Its natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and commitment to sustainable tourism make it a unique destination in the Yucatán Peninsula.

Details

Description :

Kitesurfing Lessons with a personal instructor gives you the opportunity to have a 1-on-1 interaction with your instructor to help you learn at a pace that is driven by you. The Learn To Kitesurf course aims to get you riding, while also teaching you how to read the conditions and utilise your equipment safely and correctly.

You will start with the basics; this includes setup of your equipment, safety features that you will utilise and how to fly a small 2metre trainer kite. When your instructor feels you are ready you can then head to the water. On day one you will only be using the kite and not go on the board just yet. Entering the water is when the fun starts! Here you will be taught how to properly fly an inflatable kitesurfing kite, how to control your kite and what to do if you crash it in the water. On day one you will be comfortable flying the kite and know what to do in any situation.

You will then move on to the board lessons. What does that mean? Well it is time to get up on the board now. You will practice using the kite to generate pull and you will learn how to get the kite to pull you without the board first. The idea is to get used to how the kite behaves when asked to pull you. Once confident doing this you will learn how to put the board on your feet and after that, how to get up on the board. Most people will manage to do a few metres on the board by the end of the course.

Group lessons are great value for money and lots of fun, but if you are looking for rapid progression, we recommend upgrading to private or semi-private lessons (see other courses, or please call us for advice).

Group kitesurf lessons are normally upto a maximum of 4 students per instructor. The two students normally share a kite. Lessons are normally taken in 2 to 3 hour sessions, but depend on the local wind and sea conditions. Some centres will shorten the hours if they have less students as they will be able to cover the same course structure in a shorter time. Lessons are dependent on local conditions.
