    Very cool experience! Guides were great. Nice to be on the water at sunset too. And seeing the bioluminescence was very unusual.

    This was a neat experience. My husband really enjoyed it. I was seasick for most of it, but it was my own fault for thinking I could miraculously tolerate a boat ride. Victor was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Nice experience. Water is warm, tour guides were informative. Initial meetup coordination contradicted what was stated on TripAdvisor reservation/booking, so that could have been better.

  • One of the coolest experiences ever

    Alejandro was a great guide and he made the vibes so cool! We felt very safe with him and he answered all questions. We saw the plankton so clearly- even when dipping our hands in the water from the boat, but of course it’s better to see from the water!

    It was magical. When you moved the water it would light up like fireflies under water. Definitely get in the water!

    Victor was very informative so we not only enjoyed the luminescent swim, but we learned a lot about the environment. Angel captains the boat perfectly. They were the perfect pair to take us out!
