Not quite the time of year, but we did see some bioluminescence. Our tour guide was great, and we had a wonderful evening with a clear sky to see the stars. We went to a private beach, so there were not many people, and they took a photo of us under the stars. Hotel pickup was extra nice. Would recommend!

Thank you very much for joining our Bioluminescence Tour in Punta Cocos, Holbox and for sharing your experience.
We’re very happy to hear that you had a lovely evening and were still able to see some bioluminescence, even in early March. As you mentioned, this natural phenomenon can vary depending on the season and conditions, but a clear night sky and the peaceful beaches of Holbox always make the experience special.
We’re also glad you enjoyed visiting a quieter beach location and that our team could capture a photo of you under the stars — those moments are always memorable. It’s great to hear that the hotel pickup made the experience even more comfortable for you.
Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Holbox for another adventure with XtremeHolbox.

It was a great experience. We were told the best months were between May and September, but in ajanauary we still had a great experience.

Really enjoyed the trip out to the site in a can-Am quad. Host was super cool and informative. Not the best time of year for the bioluminescence, but still saw lots of light when moving through the water. Good astrological lesson also. Very fun!

It's not the season and customers should know about it, the price should be reduced for this time of year. We saw two specks of light.

We found the tour itself very nice, everything wonderfully explained. We got to know a lot about the plankton and about the stars and felt comfortable.
Unfortunately it has to be mentioned that the pickup went a bit chaotic and we had a longer wait at pickup. We would still recommend the tour!

The best experience we had in Holbox! The tour time was set to ensure the best experience so that we could see the Bioluminiscence phenomenon. Our guide David, was amazing from the beginning! He picked us up at the hotel and explained everything about the plancton. He led us to the best locations and his enthusiasm in showing us and teaching us about this organism was undoubtedly contagious!
