Drove 4 hours each way just for this excursion to cancel, wasting two days of our trip, due to a full moon. I'm pretty sure science has made this information available well in advance, no? Then offered me some tour the next day completely unrelated to what I was looking for and stopped responding when I asked for a refund. There is so much to see in Costa Rica, don't waste two days, 8 hours of driving, and a hotel for the night on a company that knew well in advance what phase the moon was in. Scammers.
Absolutely worth it

Very novice older kayakers on a girls trip. Lino was very patient and informative. He was very knowledgeable about the area and stars. The sunset was beautiful and the bioluminescence was amazing. The pineapple and coconut were a nice touch.
Bucket List Item!

Kayaked through the mangroves learning about the types of local birds and mangrove varieties. Watched the sun set as we paddled back before pulling up onto an island beach to eat snacks and swim with the bioluminescents. Much easier to see from underneath the water so recommend bringing goggles! Our tour guide Lino was brilliant and we had a wonderful night. Thank you!
Easy kayak trip, educational

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a great command of the English language which made for a better experience than struggling with limited Spanish. I expected an isle of Capri complete illumination however that was not the case. This is more like hundreds of lightning bugs lighting up the water as you used your hands or rowed. It was beautiful and my 11 year old grandson totally loved it. Even relatively new kayakers can do this tour. Water was very calm outbound and just slightly choppy on the way back. We preordered dinner at the location and were not disappointed. Very good meal. We did get wetter than I expected so bring a change of clothes!!
