Traveller notes on Holbox in March
Holbox's forum calls March close to ideal — one visitor found sunny, partly cloudy days back to back with genuinely perfect weather. The one catch regulars flag is wind: the "Nortes," strong north winds that can blow hard for a few days at a stretch, so it's worth checking the forecast before booking a boat trip.
