This was such a beautiful experience! I was worried about going when the moon was brighter but they covered us with a large tarp so we could still see all the bioluminescence in the water. Fair warning if you’re extremely claustrophobic, you may want to only go on the darkest nights sans tarp. Also, be aware it’s quite a long kayak journey to the bay so come with lots of energy and coordination. All worth it though!

Ramon did everything for us! He was our driver, server, (best fish tacos ever) and our tour guide. He was very timely and very friendly and professional, 10 of 10 Hector was our boat captain and was exceptional! Also, the bioluminescent bay was pure magic. Highly recommend booking with these two, you’ll be sure to have an amazing experience

The trip was fun, beach and snorkeling sites were beautiful, and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. I have no complaints!

Crew and staff were friendly and very accommodating. Safety was always a top priority as well as comfort.

Very nice experience! Beautiful waters and nice beaches!
