Super cool experience
Jennifer_O, Mar 2023
My family loved this trip. It was definitely a highlight. The guide and the driver spoke great English.
Magical
Kieran_M, Mar 2023
It was a great and well organised trip. Its not possible to get good photos of the bioluminescence, so you must visit to the see the magical experience.
Nice evening activity
Vickie_S, Mar 2023
The experience was very interesting and beautiful. It would have been better if the tour guide spoke English. Another passenger translated a few things for us but we missed most information.

and again accept our apologies
A fun experience
Emily_D, Jan 2023
This is a great tour. It's magical to swim at night in the warm water and to have the bioluminescence light up as you move. Really enjoyed it and our guide did a great job pointing out birds that nest in the trees near the lagoon.

Amazing experience!! The experience is a thing that I have never seen in life, pictures and videos do not reflect the real experience there at all. And the service with the tour company and communication was very good.
