We are more than glad to provide a lifetime time experience at the Gulf of Nicoya Paquera, This is a bay so the water is very calm which makes it perfect for Kayaking. We normally get to enjoy an amazing sunset, while paddling 800 meters, where we can appreciate the ferry, and some islands as Isla Chiquita and Isla Jesucitas. We will take you to the biggest concentration of bioluminescence, where you will be able to see and touch it. It is just amazing, we have not found words to describe this unique experience.

Great experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Very cool. Like diamonds in the water Guide was super patient and towed us when we struggled with our kayak All participants got life jackets and cold water bottles

Wonderful guides, so patient and problem solving!

Published on Feb, 2025

My mom and I booked this and we were inexperienced and unbalanced on the boat and struggling. The nice guide tethered (towed) us to the bioluminescent area, gave us great information and opportunities to see the glowing bioluminescence. He suggested we switch positions on the kayak and give it another go and *voila*! It fixed all of our problems and we were able to kayak all the way back on our own. They were so patient and helpful with us and made sure everyone in the group got their questions answers and got to spend time in the water playing with it. It was so interesting and would suggest it to anyone. Great view of the stars on a clear night too! Just make sure you tell them if you aren’t experienced. Wear water shoes. I would suggest a swimsuit.

Great Time

Alexander has a very cool kayak tour. Lots to see in the dark. He also went above and beyond helping us get food reservations and a cake arranged for my sister’s birthday.

Magical Bioluminescent Kayak Tour in Costa Rica

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was absolutely magical! Paddling through the serene waters under a starlit sky, we witnessed the mesmerizing glow of bioluminescence—tiny sparks of light dancing with every movement of our kayaks. It truly felt like being part of a dream. The guides made the experience even better. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly passionate about sharing this natural wonder with us. Their storytelling and detailed explanations of the phenomenon added so much depth to the tour. Whether you're a nature lover or just looking for a unique adventure, this kayak tour is a must-do in Costa Rica. It’s an unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the beauty and magic of this incredible country.

Very cool experience

This was a very cool experience. The only thing we would have changed would be to go at a later tour time so it was darker sooner.
