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'll meet at the meeting point on the island of Holbox for this kayaking activity. Are you ready to discover the magic of bioluminescent plankton?

On shore, we'll explain how to handle the kayaks and practice our paddling under the starry night sky in this unique environment.

We will start paddling along the coast of Holbox in search of bioluminescent plankton. You will have the opportunity to dive into the warm waters of the Mexican Caribbean to see the bioluminescent plankton up close. The blue light emitted by these microorganisms is enhanced by water movement, which you will witness during the tour.

We will paddle for 20 to 30 minutes, observing the luminescent plankton and admiring the stars. The absence of light pollution allows us to appreciate the constellations, planets, and part of the Milky Way.

Lastly, we will return to the meeting point, arriving an hour and a half to two hours after the start time.

Schedule

The starting time of the activity varies depending on the moon and its phases. We will provide confirmation of the exact time in advance.
