What To Expect
The adventure begins with the transfer to a quiet area of the island, away from light pollution. During the tour, guides explain what bioluminescence is and how this natural phenomenon occurs. Upon arrival, travelers will be able to walk or swim in shallow waters, where each movement causes the sea to light up with blue flashes, creating a magical effect similar to swimming between stars. You will also have time to enjoy the night sky, take pictures and relax in a completely natural environment. The experience includes accompaniment at all times by local guides, safety recommendations and an intimate and safe environment. It’s a perfect activity for those looking for something different or simply unforgettable.

5.00Amazing activity. The explanation about the stars left us open-mouthed. The picture of after well.. PHOTON. And to walk on the beach and see the plakton lighting up is already cherry on top. Elijah is an excellent friendly and very close guide.

5.00I loved the experience, Elijah and Julian excellent guides, my family enjoyed too much, we were going with low expectations but it turned out to be top a night show, the sea shone beautiful and the stars a beauty, I would definitely do it again, every time I return to Holbox. Excellent tour with them! Super friendly, we saw fauna from the area and at the end a night rainbow had never seen one before in my life! A divine gift 🥹😍

5.00One of the best experiences of my life. Holbox bioluminescence is something you have to see at least once, but this tour made it even more special. The Elias guide is super friendly, professional and bilingual (English and Spanish). He explained the stars and constellations as we were surrounded by a stunning sky. Getting in the water and watching everything shine around you is just magical. 100% recommended.

5.00The best tour of all Holbox in my experience, recommend Elijah as a guide and suits the group, I was with the family and was very pleasant, the tour is obviously at night and can vary the schedule according to the moon, to better see the bioluminescence, I highly recommend it.
