All equipment dropped off early! Picked up for our excursion on time! Night was perfect, nature was on our side! Saw the most stars I have seen in my life and the plankton was magical like sparkles in the water. Alex was an entertaining and helpful guide with humour and personality. Alex has been doing this tour for years and will ensure your experience is top notch! Vamanos!!!

We found out that Holbox has a bioluminescent body of water the morning we were heading there and booked this excursion. The entire experience was magical, from the wetsuits, to the tour guide’s explanations and pointing out constellations, to splashing and swimming with the bioluminescence. We highly recommend. Worth keeping the kids awake for.
