Bocas del Toro

Your journey will start with our expert guide explaining what causes bioluminescence and answer any questions you may have.

Your boat captain will then navigate you through the mangroves to the ideal location to witness this amazing phenomenon. Our boat is equipped with special lighting that will be cycled on and off to bring out the most vibrant displays of bioluminescence. Stir up the water with your hand and be amazed at how it makes the water sparkle and glow!

You’ll be offered a selection of cocktails and other beverages.

Next, we’ll take you to a nearby protected cove and pass out the snorkeling gear so you can really experience the bioluminescence first hand! If you’re concerned about swimming in the dark, there’s no need to worry… Your guide will be in the water with you the entire time to ensure your safety!

As you swim through the water it will light up like a trail of fairy dust behind you! There’s really no other feeling that compares to this one-of-a-kind magical experience!
