Cần Quan Tâm
Bioluminescence is a chemical process through which marine vertebrates and invertebrates, fungi, and fireflies produce and generate light. This relatively rare worldwide phenomenon occurs in the Caribbean waters of Bocas del Toro, where it illuminates the ocean, the waves, and the shoreline with a blue glow at night. The light or glow is created by marine plankton - scientifically known as dinoflagellate - which activates a blue glow when it senses movement in the water. Join us on our fun Bioluminescence Tour and let our expert guides take you to the best spots around Bocas del Toro where you can witness this amazing phenomenon in a safe environment.

4.00I was scared at the thought of taking a boat out into the ocean in the pitch black, but you must! These microorganisms/Plankton light up the ocean like stars. It's not deep water, you can see the bottom and it's warm. Great experience.
Swim

5.00Only worth it if you swim / snorkel when given the chance. There were 12 people in our group. They dropped us off at klika on the way back
Overall great, but things to improve

4.00The virtual communication was excellent which I HIGHLY appreciate. The tour guides were good. It was windy and felt questionable the safety; I got so drenched including my towel just getting out there (tell ppl to bag them!). But most of all not 1 person - including 1 w a go-pro (!) - could capture anything but blackness on their devices (photo or video). I loved getting to see the plankton in real life (and was fine not to get in the water), but w/ no "evidence", it was like it didn't happen. Please advise your guests either a) what device to bring, b) what technique to use, or c) that they likely won't have a photo like the one you somehow have to advertise. Lastly, as we went back, they nicely dropped off 1 group, but making another party late to their water taxi - they should check with the group before they make everyone later than planned. If these improvements were made, I'd love to go again and/or recommend to a friend.
Fantastic!

An Adventurous Night

5.00There's something a bit wild about speedboating across the ocean at night and jumping into dark waters, but it was very cool to see the water sparkle and light up around you as you do so. Our night was cut a bit short due to rain, but it was still a magical experience.
Must do

5.00This is amazing!! Beautiful and romantic. The captain gives plenty of time so you can enjoy fully the experience. Doing the snorkeling is a must.
A MUST if you are in Bocas del Toro

5.00It was such a beautiful experience, driving past the bioluminescent Plankton in the boat was beautiful and the guide explained the different types of plankton and under what conditions they glow. Snorkelling in the water was a bit scary at first due to it being completely dark but after you dive down, you dont want to get out of the water. Under the Surface there are so much more planktons than you can see from the boat and it was actually like swimming in the night sky. If youre thinking about doing this tour, do it. There arent many places where you can do this. However note that you likely wont be able to take pictures of it, due to the planktons not shining bright enough for most phone cameras to catch it. It looks incredible in person tho
Jump In and Play

5.00The tour guides both did a great job. Explained how to activate the different kinds of light. Need a really good camera to catch the lights though. I really encourage everyone to jump into the water to play with the luminescence.
