Make the most of your time in the Mexican Caribbean experiencing the mesmerizing natural phenomena of bioluminescent plankton on this kayak tour of Holbox Island.

Bioluminescent Plankton Kayak Tour + Stargazing

At the scheduled time, we will meet at the meeting point on the island of Holbox for this kayaking activity. We will provide a brief explanation of kayak handling and offer time to practice paddling under the starry night sky.

We will start paddling along the coast of Holbox to witness the bioluminescent plankton. Participants will have the opportunity to dive into the warm waters of the Mexican Caribbean to see the plankton up close, which emit a blue light enhanced by water movement.

We will paddle for 20 to 30 minutes, taking in the bioluminescent plankton and observing the stars. The lack of light pollution allows us to appreciate the constellations, planets, and part of the Milky Way.

Finally, we will return to the meeting point, completing the tour in approximately an hour and a half to two hours.

Schedule

The activity start time will vary based on the moon and its phases. We will provide confirmation of the exact time in advance.
