An enchanting evening boating adventure awaits in the Gulf of Nicoya, a tranquil and biodiverse body of water nestled between the Nicoya Peninsula and Costa Rica's mainland. As the sun sets, the rocks and sea come alive with a mesmerizing glow. This tour offers a unique opportunity to witness bioluminescence, a natural phenomenon that makes the water sparkle like diamonds in the night.

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms, a process that occurs when energy is released in the form of light. In the Gulf of Nicoya, this phenomenon is caused by tiny marine organisms called dinoflagellates, which emit a blue-green light when disturbed. As the boat glides through the water, the dinoflagellates are stirred, creating a dazzling display of light and color that illuminates the sea.

The Gulf of Nicoya is home to a diverse array of marine life, including dolphins, sea turtles, and a variety of fish species. As the boat navigates through the darkness, passengers may catch a glimpse of these nocturnal creatures. Please note that visibility may be affected by ambient light, moon phases, wind, and sea currents.

This magical experience is a true marvel of nature, offering a unique opportunity to learn about the biology and ecology of bioluminescence and discover the secrets of the Gulf of Nicoya's marine ecosystem.
