Beautiful Informative and Fun - A delightful experience: kayaking in the warm ocean waters under a starlit sky. Our guide was very good at explaining the bioluminescence and the constellations. Well worth your time.

Enjoyable evening kayaking under the stars and seeing bioluminescence - Enrique was very friendly and informative. He made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. The sky was clear and no moon so we were able to see lots of constellations which Enrique pointed out to us using a laser light pointer. We were able to see some bioluminescence- this particular night it was white and looked like stars and a white glow in the water. Kayaking under the stars was lovely.

Punta Mosquito Bioluminescence - It seems dark and a scary in the beginning but it’s worth the initial wariness. Don’t bring your phone, if you have a professional camera bring it with you. We had Diego for our guide and he was really informative, friendly and engaging. Bring water shoes if you can.

Pleasantly surprised - Extreme Holbox delivered an outstanding experience. We did the bioluminescence tour at Punta Mosquito with Diego and the 3 Isla tour with Christian. Both guides were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. The operations team was highly communicative, and everything ran exactly as promised. Shockingly easy and seamless. Highly recommend.

Once in a lifetime experience! - The experience was incredible with amazing views of the bioluminescence. Our guide David was very knowledgeable about the plankton and also the area of Holbox. The tour was organised well and the instructions and safety are also in depth. The paddle is easy and short so it is a good activity for any age. Definitely recommend !

A Must on Holbox - The tour was breathtakingly beautiful. Our two tour guides Jeorge and David were very nice and helped us with everything super. They always saw that the group stayed together and encouraged us to paddle, especially David! It was cool to go into the sea in the middle of the night and walk through the sandbanks. I would do it again at any time.

Disappointed I didn't see more "bioluminescence: - A short canoe ride at 2am, it was pleasant, hot water and beautiful starry night. Very little bioluminescence.
