Bioluminescence Experience in Holbox

I booked the tour and the tour guide dropped the equipment at my hostel before 6 pm so I can wear the wet suit before 10 pm. He is very good at English and trustworthy. However, at 10 pm, the car broke down and he couldn't fix it so he called me and said that he needed to cancel the tour. It is very unfortunate because I will leave Holbox the next day so I told him if he can figure it out the way, I would still love to go. He is very understanding so he contacted me again at 11:00 pm and said that he will get a taxi for me and 2 other friends to go to Punta Coco and played there for a while. At least we can go there and experience this phenomenon. It took 20 mins to get there, we got there by 11:30 pm. It is not sparkling like the internet picture, you will need to wave the water or walk around to see the sparkling. The ocean is very shallow so you can walk pretty far. The sky is extremely beautiful with millions of stars. I love the stars than the water haha. We sat down and enjoyed the sky, the water and the present moments. At 12:00 pm, the taxi driver waved us to come back, he dropped us at our hostel and we ended the trip there. So we had in total 30 mins at the beach. The next day, I contacted the tour guy and requested half of my money back. He accepted and gave me back my money. He is a good guy and he cares about his customers. He tried his best to accomodate the situation, I think he deserves 5 star customer service. I hope things went well but you know life is always happens unexpectedly. I am grateful that we made it there. I will be sure come back one day and book a tour for my family with him again!

WOW! What a beautiful experience! This needs to be on everyone’s bucket list. Alex, our guide gave us an experience that we will treasure for a lifetime. We weren’t sure what to expect. He dropped off our wet suits at our hotel earlier in the day and picked us up after dark. He has a great automobile, my husband called it the Ferrari of golf carts. We zoomed through the darkness hitting the bumps in the road like they were not even there. The ride to the location was a thrill. When we arrived, it was so dark we could not even see where we were walking. Alex told us that our eyes would adjust, sure enough they adjusted to the darkness quickly. As we walked to the waters edge the view took our breath away. We have NEVER seen so many stars in our lives! The Milky Way was right there in all its glory. Alex showed us some of the major constellations as we took in the beauty. A while longer, Alex got in the water with us and educated us on the Bioluminescence. He then let us enjoy the stars above as well as in the water until our fingers shriveled and we had to quit. Thank you, Alex!

Alex was a great tour guide! Was very informative and punctual at pick up time. The tour was amazing. When you step into the water and start seeing your footsteps in the water turn bright blue was a magical experience. We highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience. Our guide was really good and we just had a wonderful night. We saw the stars, planets and a wonderful shooting star! This is a must trip.

Definitely one of the most impressive experiences in my live!! The Bioluminescence is magic and definitely a must if you travel to Holbox. Alex is not only experienced in explaining this natural wonder he is as well an expert in showing you the stars during the tour which is as well incredible beautiful. Evening is well organized, save and as Alex will tell you in time and full. Gracias Alex fue increíble y la próxima vez repetimos, nos lo pasamos muy pero que muy bien! Saludos Pablo

Great experience. Between the bioluminescent planctons and the stars, that was amazing. Alex was a wonderful guide with a lot of humour. Thanks !!

My girlfriend and I took the experience of bioluminicensia. It is the most beautiful and spectacular thing I have seen at sea. Alex, our guide was super professional, he explains everything related to the phenomenon and also if you have the opportunity to have a clear night he will show you the different constellations and the milky way. I would recommend a thousand times to take this experience with Holboxperience.

The kids had an amazing time! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. We will definitely do it again!

We had stars above (clear sky) and stars below (the plankton). It's an amazing experience. Would be probably even better away from all the lights but still was spectacular.

Amazing recommendable experience with our guide Alex. He is super knowledgeable and sweet. It is an unforgettable and must do excursion
