Holbox kayak Bioluminescense tour

Ricardo was a great tour guide: passionate, kind, funny, and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed having him as tour guide for the experience. 5 out of 5 stars for him. Reasons why we give 4 stars out of 5 overall are the following: - pricing is absurd: 50 USD per person to essentially rent a shared kayak (i.e. 2 people per kayak) and a tour that lasted 1.30h with no other services included (i.e. no courtesy water or insect repellent whilst these are advertised as included services in the listing, no transportation to the tour location as this was just a walk to the beach). I’d say that this tour is worth 30 USD per person tops as you are basically paying for renting a kayak for a couple of hours and paying for the guide - group sizing needs to be rethought. We were luckily only 4 people + Ricardo for the tour as a group of 10 people pulled out last minute. It would have been a mess to do this with 7 kayaks / 14 people. Overall, good experience because of the small group size (although this was just luck) and because Ricardo was a really good, kind guide. I just do not really appreciate when some services are advertised (insect repellent, water) and then not offered on the tour. To be fair, we didn’t ask cause we had our own but when i checked the listing again and read this, i got a bit annoyed. If you write something, stand by it. Reason why I would not recommend this experience to a friend is the pricing, whilst I would strongly recommend Ricardo as a tour guide.

Fantastic experience with our guide David who was incredibly knowledgeable about both the sea life and the stars (the latter of which is greatly undersold!). Even though the conditions were only about 40%, the bioluminescence was still very prominent once you got away from the light of the town so don’t be put off if you can’t see it as soon as the sun sets

Did this on my birthday it was magical and fun. Loved it you kayak out far enough to see the sea light up.

our tour guide david was amazing! he conducted the tour in both english and spanish and throughly explained everything. he explained how to control the kayak for those unfamiliar, explained the science behind the bioluminescence phenomenon, and pointed out things apart from the bioluminescence. would definitely go again!!

We hired the experience of bioluminescence with kayaking, and it could not be better. The experience was very rewarding and comfortable thanks to the attention and sympathy of guide David Elias. 100% Recomendable.

It was a wonderful! Worth the experience for sure. David was a great tour guide- learned a lot with him and he made the experience easy too.

The guide DAVID, Excellent, I loved the way he treated the children in the group, and his great knowledge. CONGRATULATIONS, don't forget to bring a change of clothes

David was a great guide. The sky was clear and good for celestial viewing. Nice workout, kayaking in the dark under the stars. Although, we were able to view some bioluminescent activity the was too cool for the optimal experience. More activity in the warmer months we were informed.

Davide was a Great Tour Guide! Hast a fantastisc time with him and the Group! Saw some sparkling plankton and an awesome sky full of stars!

Definitely worth the experience. The bioluminescence was an incredible thing to see. It almost doesnt seem real. So many stars at night. Ricardo was our guide and he was the man, super knowledgeable.
