Amazing experience! Must go

Published on Dec, 2024

Our adventure to see the bioluminescence in Holbox, Mexico was wonderful! Our guide, Alan first showed us the beautiful stars and constellations above us. We learned all about the stars and the stories about the constellations. It was a once in a lifetime experience, because my family traveled from a city with many lights, we had never experienced the bright stars glowing in the sky. And it wasn't only stars we saw, Alan pointed out Jupiter and Venus. When we were done looking up at the mesmerizing sky above us we went back down the steps and took a 5-10 minute walk to the lagoon in Punta Coco. Alan lead us into the water together, motioned us to form a circle, told us to wave our hands around in the water, and all of our mouths dropped. While we were waving our hands around in the water we saw tiny green plankton moving with us too. Alan gave us a t-shirt to collect the plankton from the water and get a better look at them.

Would recommend 10/10

Our tour guide, Alex, was knowledgeable and charismatic. Pickup at our hotel was very convenient, with little to no waiting time. It was a beautiful night, which made this experience magical.

Magic in the water of Holbox

Published on Oct, 2024

This was one of the most amazing experiences Iā€™ve ever had. The bioluminescence was magical like nothing. Iā€™ve seen in my life and Alejandro made it so special. He was so lovely so knowledgeable and patient. He knew the mangroves in and out he took his time. He was so kind and lovely. I will definitely be back to do this again and I highly highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience something this magical and with someone who is as mice and genuine as Alejandro!! ā€”Claudia H
