Don't miss it! - An incredible experience, Germán was an excellent guide, and the park with its nature is a true gem!

Excellent and magical - Truly a magical experience. The guides were friendly and fun. Kayaking out to the islands is beautiful and I was fascinated by the thousands of birds in the sanctuary (pelicans, frigate birds, blue footed boobies). We arrived out to the islands in time for a spectacular sunset. The closer to shore as it got dark, you could see the plankton start to light up in random spots like groups of lightning bugs. I thought it was a cool sight. They said ours get better, but I was skeptical. We paddled further in next to a larger island and got in the water. WOW. It can’t be described with justice. One of the most magical experiences of my life. Then back for fruit and drinks. Word of caution. It is ocean kayaking. The water can be choppy, and it’s almost 3 hours of paddling (with some breaks of course). It can be strenuous. The guides are helpful. I’m a moderately active 67 yr old and it was fine, I’m just a little sore this next morning.

Amazing Experience! - I booked the sunrise kayak bioluminescence tour for myself and my son, and I'm so glad that I did! The whole experience was top notch, starting with our pickup. While inquiring with Alberto, the owner of the company, about how far the meeting point was from our resort, he was gracious enough to offer to have us picked up directly from the resort for a nominal fee. I happily accepted, as I am currently experiencing mobility issues due to a recent surgery. Plus, it also saved us from having to track down a taxi at 3:30am. Our guide was Felipe, and he was also the one who picked us up. He made sure to let us know when to be ready, and once he arrived, he promptly drove us to the beach club where he offered us coffee while we were preparing for our adventure. We were excited to learn that it was going to be a private tour, since we were the only ones who booked the early time slot for the day. The beach club itself is a bit run down, but it didn't really bother us. Felipe provided us with our life jackets, had us climb into the kayak, then gently pulled our kayak into the water. He briefly explained what to expect, then we started out on our journey. We left around 4am, so it was very dark, but also quite peaceful. We started to paddle out towards the large rocks, which Felipe explained each had a designated name. He was very patient with us because we would sometimes fall behind him due to being out of sync with our oars. Felipe was very informative. He would always point out whenever he spotted something in the water. We saw fish, sea turtles, rays, and even dolphins! Honestly, if not for him, we probably would have missed them all since it was so dark. His eagle eyes spotted them every time, though. There were also hundred of birds, including pelicans, hanging out on the rocks and flying overhead. He pointed out the first opportunity to see bioluminescence when we paddled closer to the large rocks. It wasn't very obvious at first, but as we got a bit closer, or when we moved our oars under the water, it just lit up! I tried taking several photos of it, but Felipe said that it was almost impossible to capture it without a professional camera & lens. It's such an incredible phenomenon, and I am honored to have been able to at least have seen it with my own eyes! As the sun started to slowly rise, Felipe began taking photos of us and our surroundings. The sunrise was absolutely spectacular! The best part was that the photos were all included in the price of the tour. They were made available to us through a link sent by email sent shortly after the tour had been completed. We elected not to snorkel, which was also included in the price, so we just spent a little extra time admiring our magnificent surroundings. After the photos, we slowly paddled back to shore. We were definitely feeling tired by the time we got back, but it was absolutely worth it. After the tour was over, Felipe also drove us back to our resort. If you choose this tour, I highly suggest the sunrise as opposed to the sunset option. Yes, it was difficult to get up so early, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. You will likely have a smaller group (ours was private), you won't have to deal with the afternoon heat, and the visibility of the bioluminescence will likely be much better in the morning. I would 100% recommend this tour and Felipe to just about anyone. If you have mobility issues like me, it may be difficult for you to maneuver getting to and from the beach club due to uneven surfaces and stairs. I can't say it was easy, but I did it, thanks to Felipe, who was very patient and assisted me whenever I needed a little bit of help. So grateful for him and his excellent customer service throughout this experience. Thank you, Paddle Zone and Felipe!

Gorgeous sunrise trip - We had the best kayaking trip with our guide Diego. We loved him! Very friendly and he had so much great info about Los Arcos.

Excellent - All excellent, guides and staff very attentive. The experience is amazing but if it is important to consider that moderate fitness is required as it is rowed throughout the experience. Bioluminescence is magic. Thank you very much for the tour

Bioluminescence was very cool - This was a very nice excursion. Diego was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The bioluminescence was really cool! Be ready to get a work out though. We are in our 60s but luckily not sore the next day

Unique experience - Such a fun time. Diego did a great job as did the other people helping him. Lots of great information. Enthusiastic explanations. I will say it was quite a workout

lovely moment! - Greate experience! German and his crew were great hosts!

Unique Experience - Overall this excursion was a very good experience. The pick up (shuttle) was on time with a short ride to the launch point. The staff were friendly, knowledgable, and supportive of folks who had a bit of difficulty out on the water. Our experience was on the night of the full moon making visibility of the bioluminescence a bit tricky. This trip, we couldn't go at any other day so decided to do it anyway. The staff navigated our group to the tunnels in the rocks which facilitated better visibility. We had an early flight home the next morning and wanted to skip the after-paddle event with the group and therefore the shuttle back to PV. The staff went out of their way to help us get a taxi, which was a bit tricky in this location at that time of night. One thing that would have improved the experience was a tighter timeline; 3 hours seemed a bit long to us and included a long period of inactivity waiting for darkness to fall. If you have your own snorkel mask, it would be beneficial to bring.
