Fantastic tour and tour guide! - Our Tour Guide, Victor Hugo, was fantastic and really went out of the way to explain and show us everything (we also had Victor Hugo for the sunrise kayak tour, which was also fantastic and would recommend). Bioluminescence was really clear and also had a brilliant view of the Milky Way (our tour guide showed us all the constellations too and explained stories behind some of them). Would highly recommend!

Holbox Mangrove Tour - My husband and I really enjoyed the Holbox mangrove tour led by Victor Hugo. He is in love with nature and the conservation of mangroves and the entire ecosystem that lives there in addition to regenerative agriculture. Victor Hugo put a lot of emphasis on seeing the enormous diversity of flora and fauna in the mangroves. We highly recommend the denHolbox mangrove tour with Victor Hugo!

Most amazing experience! - I joined the 6:30 AM tour and it was an amazing experience. Hugo picked me up directly from my hotel and took us out toward the mangroves. Along the way we saw flamingos, pelicans, many other fascinating birds, and even a crocodile! The tour was well organized, enjoyable, and a wonderful way to start the day. I highly recommend it!

Unmissable - We almost didn't do the KAYAK tour, LUCKY WE FINALLY DID. Incredible effects of bioluminescence and star sight. Victor Hugo, our guide, was spectacular. He explained the causes, conditions and how of this effect. Fully recommended. Un 10.

A beautiful night, fun experience - It was a beautiful night and the guide was fun. There was very little assistance into the kayak in the waves though, so perhaps not for older folks.

Bioluminescence kayak - It is an unforgettable experience that they should live the peronas that come to holbox, although it was not an exact season we could appreciate the bioluminescence and it is something magical that nature gives us, that complemented with a good guide makes it totally worth it, I send a greeting to Victor our guide who was watching us at each moment of the tour and his experience helped us to enjoy more our adventure for the tour, although it must be understood that the conditions of nature are variable does not take away from the incredible.

Cancelled at very short notice with no explanation - Our bioluminescence tour was cancelled at very short notice (less than an hour before the start) with no explanation given. The weather was fairly good, so this was unlikely to be the reason for cancellation. Very disappointing. Of course unforeseen problems can crop up, but we would have appreciated a bit more information and if possible the offer of an alternative.
