PRICE:

 

We will pick you up at your hotel, if road conditions are favorable, in all-terrain vehicles.
We will take you to the last hotel in the hotel zone (Las Nubes). Then we will take the kayaks (double or single) and give you instructions before starting to paddle.
Then we paddle for approximately 15-20 minutes to the famous “Punta Mosquito sandbanks” (we do not reach Punta Mosquito itself, as it is a protected area and access is completely prohibited).
We move as far away as possible from light pollution, respecting our navigation limits.
Depending on the season, from the moment we start paddling, we can observe bioluminescence with every movement (normally from May to September, it can be seen at 70% to 100% intensity).
During the rest of the year, visibility can vary from 30% to 80% intensity.
We look for the spot with the highest concentration of plankton. Once there, we get out of the kayaks and walk on the sandbanks, where we can see our footprints light up with blue-green dots.
Then we will walk further out into the sea to a reasonable depth so that you can swim and see how with every movement your body lights up with millions of bioluminescent microorganisms. You can see three different colors: green, white, or blue. The color is unpredictable.
There we will explain this natural phenomenon and our nature reserve.
If the sky is clear, it will be another amazing spectacle.
Remember, this is a natural phenomenon, so visibility may vary depending on many factors, such as the amount of plankton, water temperature, and ocean currents, to name a few.
As tour guides, we do our best to ensure that you enjoy seeing this impressive phenomenon and have an unforgettable experience, always hoping that nature will cooperate in the best way possible.
In total, we spend approximately 45 minutes on the sandbanks and swimming, then we return to the starting point, where the vehicle will be ready to take you back to your hotel, or if the roads are not in good condition, to the central park.

Paddle under a blanket of stars that will amaze you.
Swim and watch as millions of luminescent microorganisms glow.
Walk on a sandbank in the middle of the sea watching bioluminescent spots.

The adventure begins when we pick you up in our all-terrain vehicles.
