  It's already a beautiful experience that I don't want to miss. Be sure to bring me waterproof phone cases. Price is too high.

• Overpriced but amazing to see

  Tour was punctual, personable and well executed. The bioluminescence was amazing to see. I believe I overpaid by a lot as places in town would do it for 1/3 the price.

• Absolutely worth it

  We were lucky to experience this tour one night after the new moon. It was tranquil and dreamy. There were diamonds on our skin.

  I had seen videos and photos of the so-called "bioluminescence" effect, so I was expecting to see practically the water shine. Spoiler's fin: it wasn't. To start, this tour was offered at the Hotel Making Real Puerto Escondido (see hotel review), at a cost of 890.00 Pesos per Person. We thought we could find it cheaper somewhere else. In Playa Carrizalillo we found it at 800 pesos, and finally we hired it at a cost of 600 pesos with a local that we found on Blvd Benito Juarez. The dynamics with the three options are the same: they pass you to the hotel where you are staying and take you to the place where the dive takes place. Bioluminescence is best seen in photos and videos: in real life it is not like in Avatar. Supposedly the effect we had to see was white, but to do so, we had to move so that the water reacted, and gave off opaque white tones. My feeling at the time, and so far, was disappointment, but bad, good (or less bad): I was disappointed with 600 pesos and not with almost 900.

  Great experience, there no words to describe it, the water is warm, the boat ride and view is great, if you go just let yourself go and enjoy

  We had a great time on this tour hunting white bioluminescence. Our pick up was on time, the minibus was very comfortable and our driver, Johnny was great. The boat trip to the blackout tents was lovely and the white bioluminescence sparked off our skin like millions of tiny diamonds. Unforgettable!

  The staff were really friendly, however our expectations were different than reality. The ride there was long and I am not sure it was worth it. The water was warm and when moved there was some bioluminescence. We were expecting more. The van was very well air conditioned, maybe too much for having been wet in the night time

  It is a very nice experience to see how you will emanate lights from your body when you are submerged in water and moving The minutes you stay in the water are amazing

  Tour operator sent us a message the morning of the tour changing location (OK, we understand that can happen) and then informing us there was no English speaking guide available because the English speaking guide was drunk.
