David was a great guide.... - David was a great guide. The sky was clear and good for celestial viewing. Nice workout, kayaking in the dark under the stars. Although, we were able to view some bioluminescent activity the was too cool for the optimal experience. More activity in the warmer months we were informed.

Very unique experience - Definitely worth the experience. The bioluminescence was an incredible thing to see. It almost doesnt seem real. So many stars at night. Ricardo was our guide and he was the man, super knowledgeable.

You won't believe your eyes - This was the hightlight of our trip to Holbox! A truly unique experience, leave your phone at home, wear aqua socks and something that is ok to get wet but also protect you from the elements.

A beautiful glowing experience - Great experience! They picked us up at a convenient location near our hotel. Our guide Dali was very helpful and informative. Everything was very straightforward. I’m from Puerto Rico and have been to all 3 bioluminescent bays there and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by how great and beautiful this one in Holbox was! Both the water and the sand bank where they took us glow up (even our footsteps in the sand glow which I have never seen before!). Highly recommended!

Unique experience in Holbox! - Lovely experience - from beginning to end. Daniela our guide was so nice and knowledgeable! Kayaking under the stars was already a great experience plus the plankton.

Beautiful, if you know what to expect - The guides were so enthusiastic!! Both about astronomy and the bioluminescence. Note this experience involves walking along the main beach of Holbox, getting into a kayak, kayaking a very short distance along the beach and then getting out for a swim (relatively shallow). So it’s basically swimming on the main beach at night - but it’s beautiful!
