take me to the flamingo sir yes mom [Music] and when you're in the reserve don't forget to be you don't want to scare the birds away it's going to be a hard one for adam his whisper is like my normal voice it is so peaceful out here the quiet is just i don't know it's so complete and then you just hear a little bird chirp or did you hear that beautiful hope you're enjoying yourself we're so glad you came along with us if you're looking for a fun relaxing tour to do contact salvador at salvador tours and remember guys no matter how much fun you're having you need to make sure you stay hydrated it gets hot down here we just saw a manta ray diablo [Music] oh flamingos i see flamingos [Music] adam what are you doing oh hey i'm doing the flamingo dance these incredible birds move their little feet around that's why you see their legs going up and down it kicks the mud up and brings up these microorganisms that they eat and then they filter it with their beaks those beaks can filter 2 000 liters of water a day so they are working full time another really interesting fact they're completely white when they're born and when they start eating these microorganisms it turns them pink that's crazy and so cool incredible you ready to get back out there and see what we can find i am so it's nice and relaxing on the way out on the way back right now we are going against the current and this is tough seriously necesito and motor it is hot we are getting there the ocean is just ahead our three-hour tour is more like a four-hour tour man i am hot that was a great kayak but i'm thirsty so thirsty and we found some coconuts cold coconuts on the beach it doesn't get better than that puente cuesta it's so refreshing definitely well deserved after that kayak we're smoking hot now we gotta go get some breakfast what's on the menu chilaquiles come with us these signs just crack us up look at one of them has a drink in her hand the other one's got a cowboy hat on and a briefcase i don't know i need a pick-me-up i think this guy might be the right one look how amazing this is we're just walking down the beach and this guy has nitro brew coffee he's an angel a coffee angel i wish i was one of those ice cubes you can't country collect without some coffee come down on the beach and grab a nitro brew with santiago he is the man boom we couldn't walk anymore it's way too hot so we're getting a taxi back to the center of town for 50 pesos which is two and a half dollars it's worth it and shade is priceless how am i supposed to drink my coffee so a little tip if you're not sure where to go eat you can ask your taxi driver i just asked him where the best chilaquiles in town were and he said limoncito and he dropped us off there so we're gonna head in well the table's outside so we're gonna sit down and order some chilaquiles stay tuned can't wait they are delicious funny story the other day heidi asked me to go and buy our bus tickets so i asked for dos baletos the lady started laughing at me and i couldn't figure out why it turns out chilaquiles are this lovely looking dish i was supposed to be asking for tickets to chaquila no chilaquiles i feel like mexicans have a lot of laughs at my expense and i totally appreciate that and i totally appreciate it too this is a super famous mexican dish here it's good for breakfast lunch anytime i got it with the verde sauce basically it's tortilla chips topped with the green sauce and we can get it with huevos or foyo so egg or chicken and some cheese let's try it out wow i'm not kidding these are the best i've ever had you have to try this hey save some for me [Music] i love my triloquilas if you're looking for the best chilaquiles you've ever had make sure you come down to limoncito laura we're talking to you there ain't no rest for the wicked money don't grow on trees i got games to play we got dogs to walk and these dog need adoptees please so let's go to isla hobash's animal sanctuary and see what's woofing around what part of wolf don't you understand maybe we'll get to take these dogs out for a walk oh that'd be fun [Music] hey hey hey how's everybody doing look at all these puppies oh that little guy's missing a leg if you saw our isla mujeres video you saw that we went to easel animals there it's their animal shelter on island here on isla hobash they also have a animal sanctuary where you can come and walk the dog as well look at all these pups like any good place they have rules while you're walking the dog you must always keep them on the leash clean up their poop keep them under control stop them from eating anything especially rubbish this sounds like the rules heidi has for me too yeah don't eat trash what the they are just so excited to get out there this little guy's got some power hey gloria she only has three legs but that's not keeping her now hey gloria we're gonna head down to the beach with these pups get them some exercise and if you would like to do this you can go there every day they are open and you can come walk the dog the dogs really appreciate it too a lot of these guys have had traumatic experiences before they got here so any love that you can give they would really appreciate i know doesn't that cool breeze feel good the weather here changes so quick it was just like super sunny no clouds and now it looks like a storm's on the horizon these dogs are so chill we're just sitting down by the ocean and the truth is they need homes so if you're looking for a dog you can come down here and adopt one take it home with you and just give it some love we all need some love don't we it's pouring rain right now but our little friend's doing okay aren't you all right man he is ready to go it is pouring [Applause] it's all right we're back guys guys get in there be safe [Music] it's not just dogs here they also have cats they used to have a raccoon they don't discriminate whatever needs to be rescued they're willing to do it here the owner just truly believes in saving all animals it's really beautiful i actually got a little choked up when she was talking about it man that storm came out of nowhere i'm glad the puppies were so accustomed to this i guess they jumped less than i did when that thunder started yeah so we've got rained out we're gonna continue this tomorrow we'll be backing up we're back and the sun is shining so we're going to take you into the center where all the action happened along the way keep your eyes open holbox is known for having some of the best street art in all of mexico it's spectacular vamos so you don't know what you're doing and the walls are closing in [Music] one of the main appeals of this island paradise is that there are no paved roads and there's no cars the only modes of transportation are golf carts and bicycles so let's go rent some bicycles and explore some more come with us i don't know if you remember that rainstorm yesterday but the roads are flooded so the water gathers in these giant pools and you just have to deal with it the locals don't seem to even skip a beat but as a tourist when i'm knee-deep in water it's kind of a little disconcerting so you might want to watch where you step no bueno but not to worry there's water everywhere and a quick travel tip for you the farther away you get from the center of the town the lower the prices tend to get when we were just over there bikes were 33 an hour down here they're 25 an hour and we're just a couple of blocks away i'm sure if we kept going they might even go down a little bit more so let's head over here and grab some bikes [Music] wherever you rent a bike you need to leave your license same thing with golf carts make sure you have an id with you that they can keep for the day they will take good care of it and make sure you get it back as long as you bring their bikes back in good shape it's one of those things the locals know hattie just asked if it was gonna rain and he walked out and looked at the sky and said maybe one hour now that we got our bikes it's time to head to the beach down at the waterfront you'll find lots of the tour operators they're in these really colorful stands they have all the information you're going to need there's whale shark tours there's bioluminescent tours you can take out kayaks or you can just go around to the three island tour that's one of the most popular ones around [Music] and for all you singles out there there's a tender meat point right here all along the beach you can find beautiful seaside restaurants like mandarina it's supposed to be muay delezioso we have just left the center of town and we are heading along the beach to the east towards punta mosquito there's a lot more hotels and beach clubs and restaurants along the way stay tuned to see how beautiful this area of isla whole bush is [Music] welcome to the zona relaxation if you're looking for a little extra relaxation this is where you want to come down and get a massage on this beautiful beach did yar know that the pirates came here for fresh water and booty uh originally pirates came here to get fresh water a bunch of the pirates stayed and married some of the original mayan inhabitants and eight of those families are still here today that is so cool so we have reached the farthest place you can either ride your bike or take a golf cart this is the start of the yambalam nature reserve here on isla hobash from here you can walk along the beach but look at this oh there'd be a storm a bruin so we're not gonna show you the beach right now we need to go take some cover but we'll put up some clips from the other day enjoy [Music] out here right in front of us is a sandbar at low tide it is completely exposed and you can walk all along it you used to be able to walk right out here to punto mosquito it is now closed because of humans leaving garbage and scaring the animals [Music] so we had to rush back we wanted to put the drone away because it started raining again we are here in the rainy season so it's probably gonna rain a little bit yeah they tend to get some afternoon showers here and there but we're not gonna let this ruin our time here what kind of country collectors would we be if a little rain ruined our day exactly so we're gonna head out now back to the beach and show you some more i hope we can stop and get a snack along the way i'm hungry what else is new hey another travel tip even if it's not the rainy season where you're going bring a waterproof bag this guy right here costs about 12 bucks it folds up into nothing and it could save all of your valuable items life gear doesn't stop because of the rain they just keep going look behind me they're like underwater and everyone's still having fun you saw my flip-flop get stuck before sometimes after a big rain it's just easier to go barefoot and you'll see a lot of locals doing it too check it out boom let's go out and have some fun dancing in the rain dancing in the rain i don't know it worked for fred astaire i'm singing in the rain this rain forced us to have a food break and you know who's not mad about that this guy we're gonna stop and grab some sandwiches and hugos from los dos hermanos i'm sure it's gonna be delicious cooking them off right here i didn't realize it was gonna be the size of my head this is a liter of mango juice for 50 pesos or 250. it looks ridiculous and i can't wait to try it that is so fresh i cannot believe how delicious that is these look totally tasty you're stuck it's raining you can't get away i'm eating in the rain just eating in the rain that is a wonderful feeling and i am happy again quick 20-minute rainstorm and it has cleared now so we're gonna head to the beach we know it's not the best day to show you everything on the beach but we gotta work with what we got the water in the sky aren't gonna be as blue but just try to imagine it all along the beach here in isla hobash are beach bars and clubs where you can go and pay a fee say like 600 pesos which is 30 but included in that will be 500 pesos worth of food and drinks so in reality you're only paying five dollars to use their chairs and their amenities for the day pretty cool stuff that sounds like a great deal to me patty just made a really good point if it had been sunny out we wouldn't be taking this walk and it's actually really nice even with the light drizzle that's going on the palapas are great in the sun or the rain you never have to leave the beach we just walked all the way down here from town and it didn't even take that long maybe like 20 minutes 20 minutes yeah i'm thirsty what about you me too i say we go check out the alma bar and see if we can get ourselves some delicious beverages where are we this place is gorgeous there's buddhas everywhere the music is soothing i can't wait to see what this rooftop looks like let's go don't look to the right there's a man showering you can rent these beds over here for 500 pesos for the whole day so 25 with this view that's spectacular look on the hammock we're so glad you could join us thanks for coming along hey what are you doing down there we'll meet you at the sandbars so every day in front of hotel los angeles the sandbar becomes exposed at low tide so we're not quite there yet but it's getting pretty shallow i'm only about ankle deep this is actually where we kayaked through yesterday so it was much deeper than this at the time it's almost there [Music] check it out it's completely exposed wait not me the sandbar this is such a fun unique thing to do here on isla holbosh definitely check the tides when you come come here at low tide it'll be something you'll never forget get here a little early though so you can walk out while it's still underwater and then actually experience it becoming exposed not me thank god i've never seen something like this have you you were worried the rain was gonna ruin your day aren't you happy we kept going are we gonna be on influencers in the wild [Music] motivates you you gotta run before the water comes back go it's like a little massage on your feet i love it as you can see there isn't going to be a sunset this evening i mean technically there's always a sunset even if you can't see it that's right but we caught one three nights ago that was fuego so we're gonna put it in right now for you check it out got this weight on my shoulders slowing me down i don't know how it came about and why the world is spinning faster every night i feel i'm stuck [Music] we came back we showered and we are heading back out for dinner we've heard there's one dish here that you have to try so come along with us it's gonna be a tasty treat i can't wait seriously it's like that game
