  We had a great experience! Our tour guide was informative and very funny. It was our first time to the area and we were so blown away by the beauty. We live in Costa Rica and it was amazing to see all of the little coves of calm waters. The trip to the area was absolutely beautiful. The sunset was amazing and we got to see the bioluminescence. It was t thick in the water so the best viewing was to go into the water and play with your hands. The tour guide had pieces of meat where you could scoop them up and they look like diamonds on the mesh. Magical experience 🦋 We saw rooster fish popping out of the water at dusk and a dolphin jumped out of the water too. So fun

  I went on the Bioluminescence and sunset kayaking tour with Lino on my last day in Costa Rica, and it was the perfect magical way to wrap up my vacation. Lino was a great guide, spoke clear English, and taught us a lot about wildlife. We kayaked around the mangroves, then to a tiny island for sunset, docked the kayaks and ate a freshly prepared pineapple and coconut, and then we walked into the water to see the Bioluminescence. We did get wet. It was a perfect experience. Thanks Lino!

• Lovely experience - do it if you can! An amazing memory!

  Lino was incredible as a guide! He was knowledgeable, calm, and so gentle as he explained the life in the mangroves. Then we kayaked at sunset and watched the rooster fish spines come up from the water, the sea turtles swimming, and the clouds roll across the huge sky. He cut a wonderful pineapple for us, and opened a wild coconut using only a stick. Then he pointed out constellations before we walked waist deep in the dark ocean to experience the bioluminescence - enchanting!! Finally we had a short kayak back in the pitch dark (Lino had lights on his kayak), The whole experience was tranquil. Perfect!

  

  

  

  

• A really fun adventure for our family

  We (husband, two young adult children, and I) really enjoyed our afternoon/evening kayaking trip. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. The kayaking in the mangroves was really calming and interesting. I thought we would really just be killing time until it got dark, but this was probably my favorite part of the trip. We stopped twice at beaches, which I appreciated because my legs can get sore when in a kayak for too long. The first stop was for fresh fruit and a dip in the water, and the second was to see the bioluminesence. The bioluminesence was pretty subtle. You are probably not going to see huge swaths of brilliant lights. But we did see sparkles, especially when we used the snorkeling mask to view the phenomenon underwater. It was really fun to be in the ocean in the dark, and then to kayak in the dark. I had never done that before. Overall, this was a really fun family adventure and I highly recommend the tour company and this trip.

  A relaxed kayaking tour with a good, easy-to-understand explanation of the flora and fauna. Beautiful bioluminescence while swimming, snorkeling, and even a little bit while paddling. Nature is nature ;)

  The moon did not show, but you can still see the plankton without the moon, so go anytime you are there. Anyone can do it. An amazing experience, just don't swat the plankton when they sting your skin, instead just fan or swish it away. Enjoyed the whole thing!

  

• Decent tour but disappointing bioluminescence

  We enjoyed this tour, but the bioluminescence was disappointing and not like photos. There was some sparkling but not glowing and not intense, even though we planned our tour on the new moon and high tide. We felt rushed and wished we could have stayed longer. We enjoyed kayaking through the mangrove and the pineapple/coconut snack provided. The guide didn’t wait for everyone to stay together, so you could only hear his commentary while kayaking if you were right next to him. I guess that’s the nature of a kayak tour. It was over priced for the time length. With some research you might to be able to go on your own.

  

  

• Great trip!

  The bio-luminescence was amazing. Alberto was our guide and he was super nice, knowledgeable, and safe. We learned a lot about nature, the area, and got to see these amazing glowing dots all over. Alberto said you can see them all the time if it is dark enough, even in the rain. We had the best time and highly recommend it.
