    It was a good experience, they picked us up and took us to the hotel, they explained to us how it would be carried out and they also supported us when we couldn't finish the activity. Mr. Gustado was very kind and empathetic.

Bioluminescent Plankton Kayak Tour + Stargazing

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the meeting point on the island of Holbox where we'll do this unforgettable kayaking activity. Are you ready to discover the magic of bioluminescent plankton?

On shore, we'll briefly explain how to handle the kayaks and take a moment to practice our paddling skills under the starry night sky in this unforgettable environment.

The most awaited moment has arrived! We'll start paddling along the coast of Holbox in search of one of nature's most amazing phenomena. What's more, you'll be able to dive into the warm waters of the Mexican Caribbean to see the bioluminescent plankton up close. Did you know that the blue light emitted by these microorganisms is enhanced by the movement of the water? You'll see for yourself during the tour!

We'll paddle for 20 to 30 minutes while we take in the luminescent plankton and admire the stars shining in the sky. We'll admire the celestial vault without light pollution, so we can more clearly appreciate the constellations, planets, and part of the Milky Way.

Lastly, we'll go back to the meeting point, where we'll arrive an hour and a half to two hours after the start time.

Schedule

The starting time of the activity will vary depending on the moon and its phases. We'll let you know well in advance to confirm the exact time.
