“Incredible snorkeling experience. Got to see many colorful schools of fishes that really do swim right up to you. Definitely go in the morning, which is what our guide recommended for the best snorkeling. After snorkeling, we had a rest point at the beach, which was very beautiful and great for swimming. Enjoyed spicy aguachile and margaritas at the beautiful beach after snorkeling, which wasn’t included but still reasonably priced and flavorful. Super grateful to our guide Andrés for this fun and informative tour, would absolutely book a tour with him again. In fact, I hope he’s on the next tour I book in Puerto Vallarta.”

Holbox night snorkeling with moon-timed bioluminescent plankton, full wetsuit gear, and a guide who also helps you read the stars.

“This was an amazing experience. From the seamless booking and drop off of wetsuits, into the fun jeep ride through town to the mangroves. Then the magic began with our guide Javier showing us the constellations in the night sky and finally we learned all about bioluminescence as we swam around in them, looking through our snorkel masks and making them come alive with our hands. Incredible! Finally Alex and Javier came this morning to our hotel to pick up our wetsuits…what service. Can’t recommend highly enough. Great thing to do with our teenager. Get out and do this!”

“This experience was very memorable. From catching the bus at our meeting point, to the ride through the mountain, to arriving at Paddle Zone, everything was seamless. The staff of Paddle Zone is WONDERFUL!!! Very knowledgeable and I must say that their confidence inspired some in our group who were struggling. We did the sunset tour which was amazing to witness out on the water. Our 14 year old son soaked up every moment and swam in the Ocean. Seeing the bioluminescence first hand was such a phenomenon. I will say that if you aren’t experienced with kayaking, please know that this trip will require you to have some knowledge…”
