Bioluminescent Plankton Kayak Tour + Stargazing

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. We will provide a brief explanation on kayak handling and practice paddling skills under the starry night sky.

We will begin paddling along the coast of Holbox to witness bioluminescent plankton. You will have the opportunity to dive into the warm waters to experience the bioluminescence closer. The blue light emitted by the plankton is accentuated by water movement.

We will paddle for 20 to 30 minutes while enjoying the luminescent plankton and observing the stars in a light-pollution-free environment, allowing for a clearer view of the constellations, planets, and part of the Milky Way.

Finally, we will return to the meeting point, arriving one and a half to two hours after the tour starts.

Schedule

The starting time will depend on the moon phases, and we will provide confirmation of the exact time in advance.
