Navigating to the darkest area, you will be able to safely touch, see, and swim in the bioluminescence, or enjoy from the boat. This is without question, the best way to do the bay!

Additional Information
Described by many as a sight that can’t be put into words, observe the water glisten and ripple when disturbed. Engulf yourself in the wilderness under a vibrant sky, miles away from the urban environment. No artificial lights or human-created effects, just the natural occurrence of bioluminescence calmly illuminating these safeguarded waters. With cameras unable to encapsulate this spectacle, it’s certainly an experience not to be missed!!
- SWIMMING IS NOT MANDATORY! while it is an option that we highly advise you to take advantage of, no guest is required to swim if they are not comfortable to do so
- THIS IS NOT A KAYAK TOUR. Guests will be transported via motor boat through the protected waters to the best location to see and swim in the bioluminescence
- Total time on the water is 45 minutes - 1 hour. Guests will be able to swim for 20 minutes
- Visibility of the bioluminescence will fluctuate with weather, currents, and the moon cycle.
- All guests must pay regular rate regardless of age. The number of participants is monitored by the DRNA and is by seat, not age

Amazing, Unique Experience to Swim in glowing water! - This was such a cool and unique experience. We brought goggles and snorkels so we could really get immersed in the experience. Highly recommend this experience!

Magical experience - Amazing experience, would totally do it again. If you have the opportunity to be flexible with time, do it on a night with as little moonlight as possible as the bioluminescence is more visible the less exterior light there is.

La Parguera Review - The team was prompt and courteous. They took great care of our family. Safety was a priority without limiting the fun for the family. All in all a fantastic experience!

Good end to a day but missing the sunset rides - I did this two years ago when it included a sunset cruise. It was still a nice experience but I did miss that aspect. Plus an hour goes really fast. The guide did still point out this along the way but not as detailed as the cruise two years ago. All in all it is a wonderful experience. But if you're not going to get in the water opt for the kayaking instead. This is best experienced in the water. Also if the guide says no pictures or flash photography -- please listen.

Pretty neat but jellyfish wrecked the night - See the bay was very nice. Not being warned about jellyfish and what to expect was very unprofessional.

We were told the tour... - We were told the tour would be between 1-11/2 hrs. Was 40 minutes. We were rushed at the swim site & told we only had 15 minutes.

Was just ok & jellyfish - The boat was nice and the crew explained we were seeing organisms that glow with the movement from swimming or putting you hands in the water and making movement! We did not swim since it was very dark. The crew did pull up a bucket with water for us to swoosh our hands; it was cool. They never mentioned anything about jelly fish and a couple of people were stung by them. The two kids were crying and the crew poured vinegar on them to stop the sting. It’s best to go when the moon is not bright which we had a good night.

Not worth it - Super short and 3/4 people on our group got sting by jelly fish or something else. The boat used is not as advertised. It should cost half or less for what it is as you are swimming at your own risk.
