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 VERY well thought out. It was a long drive, but we were given ample time to stop midway for restroom / snack break. Dinner was wonderful and called ahead so we had more time in the water. Julian was amazing, you could tell he loves his job and truly cared about his guests. 100% worthwhile

Wonderful experience. Captain and crew have tons of information about the organism that glows. Very kind people. Our second time doing it and we absolutely will do it again!

This was a magical experience. Spend the money and take the trip. This is an experience words can’t even describe because it is so magical.

Well worth the long day of travel! You don’t want to miss this experience!
