Bioluminescerande kajaktur
Beskrivning
Det finns bara några få platser i världen där bioluminescens ses året runt. Och lyckligtvis för resenärer till Nicoya halvön finns en sådan plats här. Bioluminescens är ett ljus som skapas av levande organismer genom en kemisk reaktion, biologiskt ljus. I bukten är det algerna som skapar denna magiska effekt. Vid störning ger algerna en ljusstråle. Eftersom det finns miljoner av dem ser det ut som gnistrar i vattnet. Våglängderna är i det blå till gröna området och beroende på mängden alger kommer det att se ut som blåaktiga eller grönaktiga gnistrar. Ett av de bästa sätten att se detta fenomen är att ta en titt ovanifrån, och kajakpaddling är ett bra sätt att se det bra. Algerna kommer att hålla fast vid din paddla, din hand eller flytande skräp glöder i många sekunder om du stöter på en stark lapp. När du kajak över grunda områden kommer fisken att vara rädd och det ser ut som fyrverkerier under vatten när de tar av och lämnar ett spår av "fedamm" i deras kölvatten.

An absolutely magical night. Our hosts and guide were welcoming and knowledgeable. Our kids were able to jump off their kayaks and swim in the bioluminescence, it was unforgettable!
Thank you for your kind review. It is such a special phenomenon to experience because you literally immerse yourself in it!
Luis our guide was very funny, good with safety, explained how bioluminescence occurs well in english and went out of his way to make sure we were able to see the brightest examples of bioluminescence as possible!!! Loved kayaking on the night water!
Thats a great feedback for us. Thank you very much and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your tour with us:-)
This was a great experience, we appreciated how the big group was divided up so we had our own guide. We even got to swim and go around the whole island.
Thank you for your review. We try to make this experience as personal as possible so instead of cramming everyone with 1 guide we have 2 guides for a better experience.
Wow!! An experience you can only find a few places in the world. Our guide was terrific and very knowledgeable.
Thank you for the feedback. We are happy you had a good time!
This was a lifetime goal of mine and it was perfect in every way! The guide and owners were very knowledgeable and kind. I had a blast!
That is so cool! We are thrilled to have been ab,e to help you achieve one of your lifetime goals!!
We are a couple knowing the beauties that our country gives us. I recommend Costa Ricans to do this type of tour in their own land. We learned a lot and although it was our first time wearing the Kayak, Jose helped us not to be left behind. Attention 100%
Muchissimo gracias por su comentario. Si claro! Costa Rica tiene muchas cosas especiales y la bioluminisencia el algo unico. Muchas gracias para visitarnos y comparar este experiencia con nosotros.
This is totally worth it! Such a rad experience!!! I would do this 100 more times. We loved it! Everything about it was rad!
Thank you so much for your review we are so happy that you enjoyed your experience with us! Pura Vida!
What a beautiful and unique place in the world. After walking down a groomed yet rustic path to the location point, we were greeted by the owners who allowed us to enjoy the bay and light refreshments while we waited for the sun to set. Our guide, Luis, was exceptional! He was filled with just as much excitement over the glowing water as we were. He led us into nice dark coves and we even jumped in to swim. We traveled with children ages 10 and 12, my parents in their late 60’s as well as my husband and I. We all were capable kayakers to start but that did serve us well as we had to paddle into a slight current at one point. We appreciated the thorough and fun science lesson from Luis before we began our adventure. It was a perfect night! To top it off, afterwards we did a quick rinse at the nearby shower and ate at the local El Punto Paquera. Highly recommend that as well.
Thank you so much for choosing to do the tour with us here at Bahia Rica - and also a big thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed both our tour and the setting here in this little local community.
This was nothing short of magical, and one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The spray of diamonds in the water anytime anything moved - it was like Disney animation come to life. And if that weren't enough, the billions of stars above in this rural area of CR was a show in and of itself. Our guide also pointed out many different stars and planets and constellations, too. Absolutely wonderful experience. 100% recommended. Do yourself a favor and make this part of your Costa Rican experience.
The kayak tour starts at a private pebble beach. The owner is very nice. You get an explanation, drinks and cookies. A life jacket but not a drybag. Firm shoes make sense. We should race the kayaks to see the Blue Glow particularly well. You have definitely seen something, but it cannot be photographed, it is too weak for that. It looks more like bright air bubbles than blue particles. You were also allowed to swim out of the kayak. The guide was nice and competent.
