I was at Isla Contoy the other day, very close to your area. I can promise you it is one of the best islands you have ever seen if you visit. Keep making great videos! Back to cold Canada tomorrow 😢
I've also heard that Contoy Island is beautiful--ONLY pristine, tropical nature! But my understanding is that only day trips are available there from Cancun, so development has PURPOSELY been avoided. Do you know if that's true?
@@claudia-susanalugo5281 it is a protected island that does not allow development on it, it is full of nature and rare to see in these days. Only a select few government regulated tour operators are permitted to take a select number of visitors daily. They collect a tax that helps the preservation efforts of the island.
Lloyd and Mandy, I really enjoy your videos! Both of you don't seem to get upset by too much about things! Mandy is one of the most positive people on any travel video that I have ever watched!
You guys are so chill. Isn't it great, wherever you go in Mexico is awesome food. Pastor is everywhere. I could smell those tacos, yum! What was you favorite part about Holbox? The sandbars, the water, the seclusion, food, maybe biking around...?
Been awhile since I checked in and glad to see you are both well, I will go back over the video's I have missed in the last 2 months. Keep up the great work and take care.
Glad to see you two finally went there. We were there a year ago & loved it also. There was, however an incredible amount of garbage in the streets as soon we got away from the zocalo, beaches. The locals told us that the government had plans to remove the garbage as well as bring in electricity from the mainland since the island runs on a generator plant. They believed this would wildly increase property prices & make it a great place to invest--of course a highly subjective opinion but... Anyway, great vid. Tks
Such a good vibe from your video your kindness shines through and i had myself a vodka soda with lime... Ok a couple.. And just relaxed to your video. Thanks
Super video, Guys! Hoping to see you two settle down somewhere permanently, soon. You seem so unsettled. I always ask myself: "What are these two people running from?"
@@LloydandMandy thats great, just a little advice, to see the whales and all the sea life you have to go on january and february, i think, not sure but around those months are the best time to see the full sea life of the sea of cortez!
Always love your guys' content and music choices, thx for making these vids One thing surprised me, though. Thought it was pronouncefd "Hól-bosh," but hey
Thank you for watching! We have had a lot of people tell us this, honestly we didn't know as we had only heard it recommended by English speaking people, so we've done some research and the correct way to say it in Spanish is Ol-Bosh, but it's actually a Mayan word, so technically both and neither are correct LOL
I'm confused. Thanks so much for taking us to some of the most beautiful places in Mexico but how do you find them. Last year I stayed in a hotel between Carmen and Tulem this year I'm staying nearer Carmen and I'm torn between your suggestions. And staying at playa Carmen. Thanks for making your vids so entertaining . For me I'm going to stay safe and just follow your suggestion. By the way you are the perfect couple
ONE TIP for a Mexican ,when you come to Mexico … NEVER order all your tacos at once ,they will get cold by the time you eat the last one. ALWAYS order 2 or 3 max and then keep ordering .
I love the way you travel. What an awesome attitude to discover new places and people!! How can you don't look bothered by so much negative propaganda about safety in Mexico? Thanks for the video!
How is Lloyds hand after that encounter with that dog? Beautiful island. Thank you for sharing your travels. It’s helped with my Chronic diseases. I feel like I’m coming along with you on your travels. ❤️
I was looking at that place on google maps already not having been there. I’m curious about the luminescence. It seems like there are some lame (but perhaps accurate) reviews about some beaches around there, but you guys did it justice 👍 🙏
Great job guys! Someone has to go to Paradise! Might as well be you Two! I love your Vids! I would hang out & have a beer if I ever see you! Take care!
Excellent video. My wife and I are traveling to Holbox, from London to Cancun, at the end of July for two weeks and was wondering if you had any advice regarding drone use. I’ve heard some stories of customs charging a hefty tax for drones at Cancun airport and wondered if you had any advice on this. I have a sub 250g mini 3 pro? Thanks for an informative video.
Nice video!!! Quick heads up... The X in Holbox is not pronounced like an English "X"... It's more like "Sh"... So it would be more like Holbosh... Just like all the other X's from the Mayan language. Xel-Ha for example... Or Xpu-Ha.. All of them are "Sh" sound not "eks"
Was it ok to ride the bikes on beach an street or really hard? Looking for a day visit from playa with my 22 year old son, not worried about him but me! I work out but ….
Dont go when it s rsined as streets filled with mud type clay and puddles and full.of mosquitos.. was a real.island. Yes was at same resto and hot corner bar at night ... vibrant lol...Luminescence really worth seeing. Whale shark just 2 wasnt as seas roughest an understatement. Liked rough and ready taco resto and tour of island. Felt 5 days long enough. There was a currency exchange but the 1 atm working wasnt lol so take cash...
Hi folks! This is important about your dog and hopefully you know this... Distemper can be a problem in Mexico, and can be horribly fatal for your dog. Please make sure that your dog has a distemper vaccine. Happy trails. 🐺
❤ your videos. We are currently in Vietnam! Travelling for 6 months in south east Asia We visited Isla Holbox a few years ago and I got infected with parasites called “cutaneous larvae migrants”. Basically a larva coming from unvaccinated dog poop. It took me three months to resolve with the help of tropical medicine specialists back at home due to the medicine not being available in my country. Treatment is easily available in Mexico… keep your shoes on in shady areas 😁
wow, that's crazy. Mandy has had a parasite here already, would you mind telling us what the symptoms are? feel free do DM us in private if you're not comfortable, thanks for the heads up!
Super itchy and every day a line appears for each parasite under the skin where the bug has travelled. Not where it currently is… Lots of photos on Google. Good luck! Hopefully what Mandy has is minor. Pharmacists in Mexico are very aware of this problem.
Idk, probably not my pick if I've got a week vacay. Too many other cool beach towns in Mexico that aren't a mud hole. I always enjoy your videos tho 👍🙂
@@LloydandMandy Am still finding it difficult getting to sleep ,thees only one solution ,Mandy you'll have to come back to Australia, , I'll sleep a lot better maybe if I can send you a Vegemite sandwich,,I just wish I could send you a ham and pineapple pizza

@@yycguy8722 Ok, good to know that it's such a little paradise, that it's protected land. Thank you for clarifying!
My wife and I ❤your videos! We were looking at going back to Isla Mujeres, but I think you we’ll be checking out Holbox instead. 😃
They're both amazing you really can't lose either way!
One of your best guys. Loved it. 👍🇦🇺
Thanks so much Phil

The island’s not the only thing that is stunning, you are gorgeous Mandy and such an amazing couple living your best life😊
Thank you Galvin
what an incredible place! Will have to check it out next time I'm in Mexico. Cheers my friends!
You should!
Been awhile since I checked in and glad to see you are both well, I will go back over the video's I have missed in the last 2 months. Keep up the great work and take care.
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome back
The mud over the streets, a proof of authenticity from Holbox.
Love this place. Great vid.
Love your videos! Was wondering what island you prefer more, Isla Holbox or Isla Mujeres? They both look so beautiful!
Honestly probably holbox but they’re both amazing!

It really is!
Just heard about your channel on Dusty Porter’s TH-cam podcast. Can’t wait to binge your content. 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
Such a good vibe from your video your kindness shines through and i had myself a vodka soda with lime... Ok a couple.. And just relaxed to your video. Thanks
Super video, Guys!
Hoping to see you two settle down somewhere permanently, soon.
You seem so unsettled.
I always ask myself: "What are these two people running from?"
LOL. don't worry, we're not running, just experiencing life before we do settle down.
@@LloydandMandy That is reassuring, Guys.
Try not to worry mate, life is too short
@@LloydandMandy You'd best believe, eh?
You guys should do a roudtrip in baja california sur! And visti the acuarium of the world, "sea of cortez"!
We would love to and I think we will at some stage in our van
@@LloydandMandy thats great, just a little advice, to see the whales and all the sea life you have to go on january and february, i think, not sure but around those months are the best time to see the full sea life of the sea of cortez!
Love your videos ❤
Mozzies! break out the aeroguard!
Love the videos
Thanks mate
Love the video. Curious as to what type drone being used and if you've gotten any grief from Mexican authorities
It's a mini SE, because it's under 249 grams we haven't had any issues.
Super video 👍👍
Thank you 👍
Amazing video guys! And so nice the last part with the doggies at my home 😊🐶
Thanks Veronica!
Nice video. I never made it there. Oh, and you're locals now, it's HOLEBOSH😊
Thanks! 😃

There is so much more to this area than just Tulum, PDC and Cancun. You just have to research!
Hey! Bear Looks much fitter now than when he joined you :) What did You Do to get him in his summer shape ?
He runs every morning with Lloyd and goes on two walks a day!
There were beaches like that in South Florida

Love this video. What is the best month to visit Holbox?
I love the way you travel. What an awesome attitude to discover new places and people!! How can you don't look bothered by so much negative propaganda about safety in Mexico? Thanks for the video!
We just released a video about the safety situation in Mexico, that would probably explain it best! Thank you for the compliment, we appreciate it!
How is Lloyds hand after that encounter with that dog? Beautiful island. Thank you for sharing your travels. It’s helped with my Chronic diseases. I feel like I’m coming along with you on your travels. ❤️
That’s so great to hear! You’re welcome. And Lloyds hand is fine it didn’t really bite him just a nip lol
Fun video! I’ll have to check out this place
It’s so good!

Just left Cancun 4 days ago. But I definitely want to make it to holbox.
You should!
Love your videos, you guys are beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much!!
Is drone flight permitted in Holbox?
I would have thought you'd take your van rather than bus? When do you plan to do trips in the van? I love this beach! Omg that's picture perfect.
There are no cars/roads on holbox. Plus we don’t actually pick up the van for a couple more weeks as it’s m still getting some finishing touches
Wie ist es fort mit dem Seegras am Strand???
Macht playa del Carmen ja un Besuchbar
Yeah this is a day in our life while you are on vacation 😂
So what month did y’all go.? Thanks for sharing!
Right now
@@LloydandMandy We will be there in March, glad to her the mosquitos behaved. 😅
Great job guys! Someone has to go to Paradise! Might as well be you Two! I love your Vids! I would hang out & have a beer if I ever see you! Take care!
Thank you so much!
Is everything expensive in Mexico 😊thanks for sharing your video 😊
No it’s very cheap, not as cheap as SE Asia but still cheap

Thanks so much, we wanna come to Alaska!
Y sobre tu estancia en holbox me han comentado q los mosquitos son salvajes 😂 cual es tu opinion?
Great video.
Amazing place 👍🍺🍷
The best!
The ADO busses are great. Now, if we only spoke Spainish we would understand the movies?? 😂
Great job
Mandy, do you think you would feel safe traveling alone by bus... etc... if you were alone? I want to travel but will probably be on my own.
Yes, the buses are very safe and also comfortable.
@bitey dog,not enough speed work bro 🤣
You guys are awesome.
Thank you
Was it ok to ride the bikes on beach an street or really hard? Looking for a day visit from playa with my 22 year old son, not worried about him but me! I work out but ….
It was alright, a little bit muddy from the rain but it was fun
Mandy, how do you manage not to burn to a crisp, if you gave up the use of sunscreen?
Try to avoid too long in midday sun, it’s too hot here anyway. Morning and afternoon sun is perfect.
I heard the streets are flooded now because of the recent storms. Too bad.
What time of year was this?
Which month did you visit? When I went there in August there was lots of sargasso.
We just went 2 weeks ago. There was a little bit but not too bad
I love mosquitos!!
Do you love dengue fever?
No crocs there mate!! Well sort of.

Hey that dog wasn’t friendly
Haha he didn’t like me
“ Pretty sick “
Digital no mads 😂
If you think Holbox is amazing i assume you've never been to Gili islands in Bali?...
Living the life I had a dog I called bear god bless guys
Thanks so much
MY NEXT VACATION, HOLBOX❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You were in Holbox but you didn't swim with the whale sharks! :(
It’s the wrong season, they are usually around summer time
Hi guys how are you ?
great thank you
The most expensive moto ferry ride in all of Mexico getting to holbox
It cost us $20 return for 2 ppl?
@@LloydandMandy isla mosquito is expensive!!! I like Cozumel better for employment purposes.
Can you travel with your dog?
So many mosquitos?? You said?
Not many at all!
Idk, probably not my pick if I've got a week vacay. Too many other cool beach towns in Mexico that aren't a mud hole. I always enjoy your videos tho 👍🙂
Fair enough!
What other towns would you recommend? I was considering Holbox
Holbox is pronounced HolBOSH***

💡👍
It's pronounced "hole" "bosh"
