Magical Paquera - Amazing! We really enjoyed our paddle and it was so cool seeing the bioluminescence! Felt very safe with a stable kayak and water very calm. The owner/operator was very helpful and the tour guide did a great job. Thank you!

Great tour - We had a great time with „Alex“ (I think his name was Alex) and „Giovanni“. They were really kind and patient in showing us around the island. The bioluminescent water was truly magical. We also saw jumping glowing fish. Definitely worth it.

Fantastic, unique experience - We loved our experience and were so glad we booked with this company! They were extremely kind and had everything we needed including wet bags and phone bags. You also get a lovely sunset kayak ride! Tour was about 2 hours of kayaking going around a small island and our guide showed us the areas with the best bioluminescence. Note that your pants may get wet so dress accordingly.

Family of four - We had a cloudy night and the colors were amazing. One of my kids favorite things on their vacation. The kayak was quite easy.

Super cool tour and unique experience - How cool was this?!! It was our first experience seeing bioluminescence and I was mesmerized by it. Our guide was a little too soft spoken, but very kind, very attentive, and clearly focused on making sure we had a great experience. The paddling was easy, not at all difficult, even for us rookies. We did the tour at sunset so we went out when there was still a little bit of light and it was pretty neat to be out paddling in the coves in the dark. If you haven't seen bioluminescence, I would highly recommend this tour! I gave a rating of 4 instead of 5 because, 1) it would have been nice if we would have received more information about where to part and where, exactly, to meet in an email after booking (we got a little bit of direction, but not enough), and 2) the place we launched from was not awesome with lots of debris washing up on a boat ramp which you had to wade through to get in the kayak and then pretty rocky where we got out.
