? Full Description

At dusk, you gather at the launch point on the shore of Paquera Bay for a safety briefing and basic paddling instructions. Once equipped with life jackets, you board either a single or tandem kayak and begin your journey as daylight fades. As the darkness deepens, you’ll begin to see the water light up with tiny, glowing organisms — every stroke sends trails of neon green and blue in the water. Your guide pauses to explain how bioluminescent plankton work and why the bay is so special for this natural show. You might stop along the way to dip your hands in the water and see the glow ripple outwards. After about an hour of exploring, you return to shore, where you can rinse off, change clothes, and reflect on the magical experience.
