Starry sky and illuminated sea - The experience is very nice, we got a very nice sky you saw the stars and the activity in the kayak super safe, it is a low area where you can get off and swim, the bioluminescence looks incredible, at all times Diego was telling us what to do and gave us a good tour. Recommendations: Bring a good mosquito repellent, there are a lot of them in the area.

Awesome night kajaking! - David and Diego were amazing guides for the kajak bioluminiscence at nightin Holbox. Everything went very smooth and I felt very comfortable with them. David explained a lot about the bioluminiscence and the stars. It was a great experience and I definitely recommend this agency. Muchas gracias!

10 out of 10 - Booking was simple, the price was fair considering that they picked you up and dropped you back to your hotel. As a solo traveler I was a little nervous to be going out in the middle of the night with strangers but the staff was really nice and reassuring. Never kayaked before, but it was not as bad as I thought. We made a mess of it but lots of laughs. The whole experience of sitting in the water looking up at the clear sky was a little surreal, like you're just floating. I would highly recommend this experience overall.

Great tour - Had a great time on this tour. Must say it was partly because we had 2 gals who didn't know each other share a kayak and they went in the wrong direction (accidently) multiple times. Hilarious. The guide was very patient and took care of them. We went 5 days after the new moon so it was quite dark. The lights from nearby accommodation spoil it a little. Going under the tarp when in waist high water was a highlight to cut the light completely and see the biolumonescence. Just a FYI what we saw was white, not blue, but still really cool. Night stars were nice too. I liked the pick up time of 830pm. Some tours were 10pm and that was going to be quite late for me personally. Got dropped off directly at our accom afterwards which was much appreciated. Recommended tour.

Magic trip - I've never experienced anything like this in my life. At first I was extremely afraid, but I didn't have to. The guide, Diego, was a friend with a lot of experience and knowledge. It was a magical experience I will never forget.

Weather conditions made it quite challenging - I had a good idea of what to expect from bioluminescence and was really looking forward for the tour and seeing the stars. For general information, bioluminescence is not passively luminous, you have to agitate the water in order to see it. Having that said, the day we did our tour the sea was really moved and had waves, which made things difficult in the first part but extremely challenging on the way back. Gustavo did his best to help us and didn’t leave us alone in the scariest moments but i would recommend full disclosure with the attendees when it is possible that the kayaking part of it would be too challenging due to the sea conditions. On the day i experienced it, I would categorize this as an “advanced” kayak tour, for which you need lots of strength and experience. Also, it is about 1 hour rowing. Again, i feel that what impacted the most my experience was the weather which is no one’s fault, but guests should be advised accordingly. Gustavo and Ana were great and did their best in adversity, which i really appreciate… so thank you!!

Terrible and Unsafe Experience – Do Not Recommend - This was one of the most disappointing tours we’ve ever booked. We were dropped off at the beach and left standing in complete darkness with no explanation or guide present. After waiting 35 minutes, the guide finally arrived. During that time we were eaten alive by mosquitoes, with no guidance, reassurance, or organization. We specifically booked an English-speaking tour, but the rest of the group spoke Spanish and almost all instructions were given in Spanish. We received little to no information in English, which made an already uncomfortable situation worse. The group size was 18 people, yet the guide only had 12 paddles, which felt completely unprofessional and unsafe. There were only two guides for the entire group. About 50 minutes after being dropped off, the group finally went into the water. We told the guide that we didn’t feel safe and asked if he could speak to us in English. Our 9-year-old son became frightened, and we decided to leave. Shockingly, the guide then left us alone on the beach in pitch darkness. Another family left as well. This experience felt poorly planned, unsafe, and disrespectful to guests—especially families. We will be requesting a full refund. What should have been a magical experience was instead extremely stressful and upsetting. A huge disappointment.
