This place itself is magical. This water contains lots of phosphorus minerals, so when disturbed it illuminates very brightly, the glow is cause by the small micro organisms that illuminates when touched. It is very amazing to see travelers in the water at night when it glows. If travelers choose to swim, once you get out of the water you will see your swimsuit and body light up as you move around.
The water is not very deep, only about 3 or 4 feet and life jackets are available for those who need them.
This is a private customizable trip which also gives you the choice to stop for food at your own expenses (Scotchies).
