Overview

Bioluminescence is undoubtedly an experience that if you come to Holbox you cannot miss it. A spectacular phenomenon that occurs in few places in the world.
Where the waters of the seashore are illuminated by hundreds of living microorganisms (plankton) that light up when they hit the waves. The light is usually so bright that even fish can be seen in the water.

Organisms that, like fireflies, emit their own blue light. Live this experience on an all-terrain tour, from the comfort of your hotel.
