Sunset Bioluminescence Tour by Boat
Description
At sunset, this tour leaves from the little beach next to the ferry dock in Paquera. When the nights falls you will be able to see the plankton glow in the dark. For more then a full hour you will be able to see this natural phenomenon and be enchanted how fish light up their path in the water or when you take a swim or move your hands through it. Bioluminescence is found in many parts of the world, however in most locations it is either seasonal or requires perfect conditions in order to occur. Contrastingly, the Paquera Bay is home to bioluminescence year-round but we would like to inform that the moonlight effects the visibility of the bioluminescence and also tides and streamings. therefore, we are not able to guarentee a good visibility of the bioluminescence in the last week before full moon and the evening of full moon.

This tour is well recommended. Gecko's operators , Jile and Alex, were so informative while being very professional and funny. They gave us the choice to swimm in the ocean. They gave us a thoughtful tour of the nearby islands. They were very punctual, courteous and provided us with fresh fruit and water. I would definitely be back. The bioluminiscence was visible and so pretty.
We had a boat with two tourguides on our own. The sunset was stunning and the fruits, they offered, very sweet. We could see the glittery plancton and could swin in it. It was amazing!
Nice folks Beautiful area. Nice hanks for the boat ride. The boat is a good way to see the area Thanks
Amazing! Don't leave Santa Teresa withaout doing it. There are no many places around the world to experience it.
Very good service. They continuously sent us phone messages with all the instructions as well as the location of the meeting point. We didn't have a problem. It was an amazing experience. 100% recommended.
Very good tour! Excellent team Yilder and Alex! Too beautiful the experience of seeing the sea with bioluminescence, very concerned for the safety and well-being of us, we recommend it 100%
Seems a bit shady at first glance but once the sun sets and the waters turn beautiful and sparkling, it became an unforgettable experience
Please don't waste your money, the bioluminescent is nothing like it appears in the pictures. You basically pay for a 2hour boat ride around the bay, which is fine but don't expect to be dazzled by the algae, they are practically not visible. I would not recommend this to anyone.
This was not a tour it was an ordeal that will take me a few days to recover from. One of the large male tour guides was TOUCHING HIS PENIS for a full 5 minutes over his swim shorts no more than 2 feet away from myself and my 5-year old and 10-year old boys. He would stroke his penis with one hand, then start stroking his penis with the other over his swim shorts. He was standing and we were sitting just 2 feet away, so it was right at our eye level. It was so disgusting and I felt unsafe for myself and my children. I don't know the tour guide who did this by name because neither of the two tour guides introduced themselves because they didn't speak a word of English (even though the tour was advertised as being in English). My husband, who speaks decent Spanish (luckly), thought this guy was drunk. As if this could get any worse, there were also so many biting sea lice in the water (the tour guides called them Pulgas del mar) that you could not swim in the bioluminescence waters (which were beautiful). You could not pay me to take a tour with this company again and the guy who was touching his penis in front of me and my children needs to be fired. I'm also going to be sending a description of the man who did this to the tour company directly, so hopefully, they can fire him.
Amazing experience.....Loved it!!! So much better than expected..a lovely cruise under the stars culminating in a once in a lifetime luminescent ocean experience we were able to play in
