Again, keep in mind that bioluminescence tours are seasonal and not usually offered in the days surrounding a full moon.īioluminescence tours typically last about one hour, perfect for a nighttime swim, and cost around $400 pesos per person (just over $20 US dollars). To book a bioluminescence tour during your vacation on Holbox, several of the larger local tour companies allow you to book online in advance, or you can easily spot tour kiosks advertising this service as you walk around town. Most guided bioluminescence tours will take you to this spot, or you can also reach Punta Cocos by bike (keeping in mind that the roads can be dark at night) or pay for a golf cart taxi to take you, wait for you there, and bring you back. The top spot for swimming in bioluminescent waters on Holbox is at the southeastern tip of the island at a beach called Punta Cocos, conveniently located just a few minutes outside of the town. Keep in mind that bioluminescence tours are typically not available in the days close to a full moon because the conditions are too bright, and summertime is the best season for optimal visibility (although bioluminescence can sometimes be seen as early as March and as late as mid-December). The best time for bioluminescence varies from night to night, depending on the path of the moon, and booking a guided tour will help ensure that you get there at the right time.
