Pleasant experience - I went with some friends and the net was great. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but bioluminescence does surprise you. Everything flowed well, the guide good and no rolls. If you ride Holbox, it’s worth riffing off this tour.”

Company 10/10 - I am very happy that I was encouraged to take this tour as I was a little scared by the theme that it takes place very nightly, but the stars looked amazing Guides Enrique and Ivan were always very friendly, explained the constellations. It is my second tour with this company and I highly recommend it😍

Manuel Enrique was a wonderful guide - Great experience. Your guide was knowledgeable, respectful and timely to pick up at hotel. Manuel Enrique was our guide. Also spoke decent English for those that speak little Spanish.
We also had the pleasure of having Azul(blue), a pet of the other guide helpers along with us which was honestly a fun treat and Azul was very well behaved and adorable.

Smooth experience - We had a wonderful tour with our guide Manuel Enrique. Communication with the company was good. They messaged us via WhatsApp a couple days prior to let us know what time the tour would be based on when the moon would set. We were picked up from our hotel on time. Our guide was friendly and informative. It was a short kayak ride over to Punta Mosquito where our guide explained the different types of bioluminescence and how to see it. He also pointed out several constellations and the Milky Way. Overall everything went very smoothly.

Unmissable, excellent service. - “An amazing experience with XtremeHolbox. I did the bioluminescence tour with my girls and sincerely felt very safe at all times. The team was very professional, attentive and took care of every detail so that we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Bioluminescence is something magical, seeing how the water lights up with each movement is simply unforgettable. I would definitely repeat and highly recommend it, especially if you are travelling as a family.”
