Great experience - Great time. Our guide, AJ, not only was extremely knowledgeable about the subject, but went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. Also, the entire staff was professional and informative about the tour. Just expect to get a little wet. Well worth the experience.

Professional staff,... - Professional staff, reached out one day earlier, FUP some time before pickup, and a safe travel there and back. Be prepared for the mosquitos and eventual crashes with other kayaks, not everyone knows how to paddle, and the dark+narrow canal also does not help a lot hahahah

Great experience - Great tour! Smooth transport, good communication, and helpful guides. Note that the bio glow wasn’t super visible, it was more like little specks but that seems to be the way it is in this area.

Great! - Very cool experience! Always felt safe and paddle wasn't hard. Definitely something cool to see if you've never had the chance.

Fun kayaking at night - This was a nice tour. Definitely do this when there is no moon, it's more difficult to see if there's any light. Navigating through the mangroves can be challenging, especially when youre going against the current. It helps to have kayaking experience but they do keep a close eye on the group to make sure everyone gets to the cove and back. Definitely bring bug spray.

A lot of work but worth it. - It was a struggle to paddle but it was all worth it to see them glow so much. They say it's not a guarantee to see them plankton's but we were very fortunate. Ps. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes.

No glowing marine life but still fun - The staff was amazing. They really did a great job with safety and explaining everything. I can’t overstate that enough. They really did a great job. But there was no glowing marine life. I would’ve liked to have been warned when I booked the trip. It’s a lot of work and not cheap. And it’s really disappointing to come all this way not to see anything. I know they can’t control that, but it should’ve been ok big bold letters on the website. May not see anything. That being said the kayaking was still an incredible experience. Just a better heads up would’ve been helpful as far as our expectations.

Too crowded and smelled awful - It was VERY crowded. There were 28 in our group and at least 3, if not 4, other groups there. They were not coordinated as well as they could have been. To add to the semi organized chaos, the bay where you meet SMELLED awful. It may have revived all of the negatives if there was some bioluminescent to be seen hiding under a dirty old tarp that 3 kayaks put over our heads to make it darker, but the vmgeneral consensus was that there was maybe a slight flicker, vut nothing breath taking as expected. My biggest fuss was wirh the smell and lack of coordination. I understand the environment cannot be controlled. However, there ate probably better spots without as much light pollution to view this. For reference, we went out the day after a new room, so moonlight wasn't the inhibitor. The guides were nice and did the best work what they had to work with, bug there is some high level restructuring needed to make this a more pleasant experience. The best part was the ride there with Angel - he oozed positivity

Don’t do it - Skip this one. The kayak village smelled awful, there was zero bioluminescence to be seen, and it felt more like bumper boats in the dark than a magical experience. We spent most of the time blindly paddling, getting whacked by branches, and eaten alive by mosquitoes. Not worth the time or money.
