Excellent company and option in Holbox - We had a spectacular experience with Kayaking Holbox. We did the bioluminescence and mangrove tour and it was simply magical. Diego and Gustavo were super attentive, punctual and professional. The entire tour through the mangroves and the sea was calm, safe, and full of unforgettable moments. Highly recommended if you're looking for an authentic experience, connected to nature and guided by people who truly love what they do! We would come back without thinking twice.
