What to Expect

Each boat fits up to 12 guests comfortably.
If your group is larger, we’ll arrange a second boat so everyone can enjoy the experience together.

We will meet at the Paquera Ferry Port, where your local guide will welcome you and share a short, friendly safety briefing. Once we depart, we’ll enjoy a calm cruise across the peaceful waters of Paquera Bay — and if the timing is right, you may see a beautiful coastal sunset before the night sky gently settles in.

Then, the magic begins. As the water moves, millions of tiny bioluminescent plankton create a soft blue glow. You’ll see it shimmer around your hand, the boat, and the ripples on the surface — a calm, mesmerizing, and unforgettable sight.

A Relaxing Experience for Everyone

This boat tour is designed for comfort and ease. No paddling — just relax, enjoy, and watch the ocean light up.

Why Paquera?

Paquera is one of the best places in Costa Rica to see bioluminescence, thanks to its warm waters, sheltered bay, and minimal light pollution, which make the glow brighter throughout the year.
