Bioluminescence Experience from Curú Wildlife Refuge

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A magical and unforgettable experience. The bioluminescence tour with Turismo Curú was a truly spectacular experience. ✨🌊 Being able to navigate at night and see how the water lights up with every movement is something difficult to describe with words; it felt like navigating among stars! Everything was very well organized, the staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, and they made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. Without a doubt, an activity that we recommend to those who visit the area and want to experience something different and special. Thank you Turismo Curú for giving us a magical night! 💙✨ We would definitely return! 🌌🚤

Without a doubt, this was one of the best tours of our entire trip to Costa Rica. From the moment we arrived, the team welcomed us with exceptional attention and made us feel safe and welcome. As night fell, the magic began. Seeing how the water lit up with every movement was simply impressive. Swimming surrounded by bioluminescence was an experience difficult to describe; it seemed like we were swimming among thousands of stars. It is something that you definitely have to experience at least once in your life. The guides were very friendly, professional, and passionate about nature. They explained to us in a very interesting way how this phenomenon occurs and were attentive to the whole group during the tour. What we liked most was that the place is very quiet and natural, far from the crowds, which makes the experience even more special. You can tell that they respect the environment and work with a lot of care. If you visit the Nicoya Peninsula, this tour is completely recommended. It is a different, authentic experience that we will remember forever. We would do it again without thinking twice!

We booked the bioluminescence tour, snorkeling, and a guided hike in Curú with Turismo Curú, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. The snorkeling tour was fantastic. The boat ride was beautiful, the water was crystal clear, and we saw plenty of colorful tropical fish. The crew made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, and they were always friendly and professional. The guided hike through Curú Wildlife Refuge was equally amazing. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us spot monkeys, iguanas, tropical birds, and other wildlife that we would have completely missed on our own. It was a great way to experience Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity. The bioluminescence tour was simply magical. Watching the water light up with every movement was an unforgettable experience. It felt like swimming among thousands of tiny stars. The guides explained the science behind the phenomenon and made the entire experience both fun and educational. What really made this experience special was the genuine hospitality of the entire team. They truly care about their guests and are passionate about protecting the natural beauty of the area. If you’re visiting the Nicoya Peninsula, don’t miss the chance to explore with Turismo Curú. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend their tours to anyone looking for an authentic Costa Rican adventure.

If you are only looking to see the bioluminescence, there are several options. But if you want to have a complete experience, this is the tour. Starting in Curú, surrounded by nature, and ending under a sky full of stars swimming in glowing water was simply magical. It is worth every dollar.

Great experience going to Tortuga island while no other tourists there, walking around and swimming waiting for night fall! For us the night wasn’t dark enough but they had a floating platform that we could go in to see the bioluminescence which made a great experience!

Tourist trap. We take you to see the island in the shape of a turtle. You are dropped off on a beach with no possibility of swimming. Reefs on the edge. We wait until sunset to take you back to the starting bay to a platform of their design to descend into a space of 4 m2 and see glitter in the water. Yeah, just that. No beach with bio luminescence. A beautiful scandal

A total disappointment. The guys who ran the tour were very weird, seemed almost drugged. You saw almost nothing or even knew how to photograph. We also only approached a spot 5min from the beach where you could swim in a canister in the water. Then we went back again and the tour was finished. After 30min boat ride. For the price an absolute scan

That was just magical. Because it was a new moon we had a magnificent starry sky and everything shone in the water. An experience I will always remember. The crew was great. Everything worked out. We can recommend this tour 100%.

Indescribably beautiful experience. The nice crew and delicious fruit made the trip perfect. Afterwards we could still walk in the park.

I went on August 22 of 2025 and arrive around 3 pm . The park closes at 3:30 pm so you need to arrive around 1 pm . The park offers nicer hike and there is a restaurant. They only take cash so bring cash . There is lots of wildlife and parrots and deer . The bot tour is at 5 pm . We visited tortuga island and Quesera beach . The Bioluminescence tour is ok but I was happy about it . We will return
