I loved this tour, it is really worth doing! There were only 3 of us on it, and the guide was really friendly and informative. Of course the highlight was the bioluminescence, but the stars were out too and it was magical.

Fascinating evening on the lagoon!! You could see the luminescence of every fish that moved, including my wife, who decided to join the fish.

From the prompt pick up to the amazing boat trip, Julian Transfers & Tours delivered. After Tyler & Capt. Kieran spotted crocodiles, raccoons & babies, and a large orange iguana on the way upriver, we entered the pitch-black lagoon. The bioluminescence was incredible, we even jumped in. A highlight of our trip.
