Top Isla Holbox Surfing Lessons

The bioluminescent waters off Isla Holbox are a spectacular sight, but hard to access without specialized vehicles and equipment. This small-group tour uses all-terrain vehicles to reach a pristine nature reserve, far from town lights—ensuring the bioluminescence and stars are at their most impressive. Provided kayaks and snorkeling gear means you see the phenomenon from on top and in the water.

Kayak through the mangrove swamps of Isla Holbox during this morning tour. Under the watchful eye of your professional kayaking guide, slip into your double kayak and paddle off through the shallow, calm water. Paddle through the forest, alive with the sounds of coastal wading birds. Listen to commentary from your guide as you keep an eye out for flamingos and alligators sunning themselves on the banks of the channels. Round-trip transportation from Isla Holbox and bottled water are included.

Explore Holbox’s surrounding islands without the limitations of a shared group tour on this private boat excursion. Visit Isla Pájaros to spot nesting birds with your guide, continue to Passion Island to look for flamingos, and cool off with a swim in the freshwater spring at Yalahau. Private transportation gives you more time to appreciate the area's remarkable wildlife and scenery.

Marvel at the glistening water flowing from your paddle and around your boat on this overnight kayaking adventure. It's bioluminescence, a natural phenomenon caused by tiny creatures in the water. With a group of no more than 14 people and a guide to lead the way, you'll paddle under the stars in dark waters where you can swim and interact with bioluminescence.
