Wonderful tour! Pablo was friendly, knowledgeable and even helped with photographing the stars! It’s a magical hour and the bioluminescence didn’t disappoint.

We really enjoyed this trip. We were picked up from the hotel by our friendly guide and driven to the bay. Be prepared to get into the water up to below knee height to be able to see the bioluminescence, we had plenty of time to splash around looking at it. It was an amazing experience and thoroughly recommend it.

We had a really unique experience with a very relaxed and qualified guide (Carlos). The bioluminescene are hard to catch with your camera, but even more unique to experience with your own eyes. Also the bright stars and milkyway are great to add on your bucketlist! Antine & Wouter from Holland.

it was an amazing experience from the beginning, the car pick us from the hotel entrance, car was comfortable and take us to the farest darkest areas into Punta Cocos' shore, getting in the water and starting to see how it shine is beautiful view, it is not like in the pictures, but it is magic in its way. after about 30 minutes they call us back to the cars and bring us back to the hotel A playful family time to remember.

This was such a cool experience. We were picked up/dropped off straight from our hotel, and driven out to the west side of the island. The bioluminescence was stronger than I expected, and seeing it light up while wading and swimming was too cool. Go near a new moon for the best effect!

Communication and organisation with Carlos was very easy and smooth. He also gave us several tips exploring the island on our one. Experiencing the bioluminescence was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended.

We wanted to play in the algae... no snorkeling and no paddling! This guy made that happen and what a fun experience that was!!! The island is muddy, which is normal, and he arranged for a shared taxi (golf cart) to pick us up from the hotel we were at. It was an off road adventure! We joined other taxis and drove for about 30 minutes. I highly recommend these guys for anything you might consider. The price was excellent and experience was so much fun! Take bug spray!! This time of year the seaweed builds up making the best environment for mosquitoes. It’s the natural way on islands, so go prepared.

This was an incredibly unique and unforgettable experience, and I am so glad we did it. We took the afternoon kayak tour as well, and Carlos was an absolutely incredible and knowledgeable guide for both of them. He is passionate about his work and taught us a lot about the area. I'd highly recommend taking any tour with Azul Turquesa!

Tomé 2 tours Bioluminiscencia y el tour de Islas 100% recomendables Son afables, están interesados en que tengamos experiencias inolvidables, son muy serviciales, atentos y deben contratarlos en su próxima visita por Holbox la mejor opción. Nos ofrecieron ayuda para todo viajaba con una adulta mayor e hicieron de ese día algo muy especial. Son puntuales, buena comunicación, confiables, pagué sin conocerlos sin recomendación e incluso me enviaron la factura de los servicios contratados Hicieron recomendaciones sobre lugares para comer y disfrutar de la gastronomía de la isla, servicios de traslado para que no fuera un impedimento salir y movernos para conocer. GRACIAS
