Highly recommend this tour! - I loved that Alex pointed out all of the major constellations to us and did the whole tour in both Spanish and English. You could see so many stars, it was amazing. The bioluminescence was really magical to see, and we got zero mosquito bites. The zooming ride to and from the hotel was also really fun! We were provided wetsuits and goggles for protection from mosquitoes which I really appreciated and was a reason I booked this tour over other bioluminescence tours. It was really cool to go to such a remote area on this beautiful island.

Great experience!!! - An amazing tour with Alex. Very good on whatsapp before organizing and replying to questions.He has lots of wetsuits and water shoes of all sizes that are perfect for the tour that make it far more enjoyable. On the tour Alex was amazing. Experienced, knowledgeable and just the right amount of humour. Overall a great experience and well worth the money.

Great tour - Really good experience! Javier was a perfect guide and we loved the explanation of the stars and the bioluminescentie in the water. The wetsuits that they offer are a big plus, as it prevents you from the mosquitos. Highly recommend this tour!

Magic night in Holbox - This was an amazing experience. From the seamless booking and drop off of wetsuits, into the fun jeep ride through town to the mangroves. Then the magic began with our guide Javier showing us the constellations in the night sky and finally we learned all about bioluminescence as we swam around in them, looking through our snorkel masks and making them come alive with our hands. Incredible! Finally Alex and Javier came this morning to our hotel to pick up our wetsuits…what service. Can’t recommend highly enough. Great thing to do with our teenager. Get out and do this!

Great experience!!! - When I saw the sparkles in the water, it was amazing! The guide Alex was very kind to arrange a special pick up at my hotel. We also expanded our knowledge about the stars with Alex's explanations. Definitely an unforgettable experience.

Nice, interesting experience. - Interesting experience, nature always does its job when it comes to fascination.
The excursion itself is a little too short, the return transfer lasts longer than the experience.
The good and qualified staff allows you to learn some things both about plankton and the constellations.

Disappointment - Disappointing experience! Nothing to do with the bioluminescence photos, we give you a scarf to wave in the water and the rest of the time we let you wade in a lake full of mosquitoes. The wait is extremely long on the way there and back! No respect for the indicated times! Extremely disappointed, especially since when you talk about it the tone becomes aggressive!
