Mysticism and biology in one night - Wonderful experience, Eddy knows not only the biology but also the mystique of the sea, he understands it and transmits his passion. Much more than we expected.

Memories that will last a lifetime! - It was easy to book from the UK before we travelled and Eddy was super responsive to any emails that i sent him. When we arrived Eddy was super friendly and explained that we had to wait until it was dark enough and told us to us enjoy any of the hammocks and seating around, It was nice to be able to relax for a bit before the event and got to see some monkeys playing in the trees whilst we waited. We went for the boat option as we aren't confident in a kayak. The boat was great and specially designed for the tour with lower sides so that you could easily reach over and interact with the bioluminescence. Both Eddy and his assistant were helpful, friendly and informative throughout the tour and ensured we got the absolute most from it. Eddy is so enthusiastic about his home country and the special bioluminescence. The experience was nothing short of incredible and mind blowing!! I will definitely remember this for the rest of my life. It was once of the top things we did/experienced whilst we were in Costa Rica. You do have to wade into the water in the bay to assist in pushing the boat out and get into and out of the boat and the tour itself does include lots of very fun splashing so I would suggest wearing clothing that dries easily and bringing either spare clothes or a towel with you for when you need to drive back.

Ready Eddy Rocks! - We had a great time on the bioluminescent tour! Eddy was so knowledgeable and even shared some homegrown mangos from a 200-year-old tree at his house. Highly recommend a tour with Eddy!

Phenomenal experience! - Wonderful experience! We were alone on a boat and it was the best decision with the children. We went to different places and were all able to relax and admire the marine glow. Phenomenal!

Magnificent experience - Magnificent experience, we had ideal weather to see the bioluminescence (you have to check the lunar calendar and choose a day where there is little light). Eddy took us to the best places in the area, less lit, to see the water lit up even better. We chose kayaks, but it is possible to do the activity by boat and to swim. Eddy was a great guide!! Thank you again for this extraordinary experience.

Great experience - Yesterday we did the kayak tour with Eddie, and he was very attentive and pleasant. It wasn't the best night because there was a lot of light outside, and he was trying to find the best dark places for us to see it as best as possible. Furthermore, he explained everything to us with great affection.

Excellent - Nothing like sightseeing with natives. Eddy is very dedicated and passionate about his work. The experience was surreal. I highlight his deep respect for the environment and the beings that inhabit it.

Pure vida - Eddie was very personable and did everything he could to make our tour great! We were a tad early point so we drove up the road to a soda that overlooked the area before the tour and watched the sunset. The bioluminescence algae was cool and we enjoyed the swim at the end.
