Activity itinerary

Bioluminescence is a chemical process through which marine vertebrates and invertebrates, fungi, and fireflies produce and generate light. This relatively rare worldwide phenomenon occurs in the Caribbean waters of Bocas del Toro, where it illuminates the ocean, the waves, and the shoreline with a blue glow at night. The light or glow is created by marine plankton - scientifically known as dinoflagellate - which activates a blue glow when it senses movement in the water. Join us on our fun Bioluminescence Tour and let our expert guides take you to the best spots around Bocas del Toro where you can witness this amazing phenomenon in a safe environment.

What a great evening to our first day in Bocos. Amir was our guide and he was friendly, funny and answered all our questions. The Bioluminescence was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed jumping in the water for a snorkel. Highly recommended.

This is a once in a lifetime experience, and you must go! The tour guides Amir and Shadow were excellent with explaining the types of plankton, and making us feel comfortable!

Meetup point was away from the tourist area, dark, dingy, no lighting at the dock (safety issue). The guide/captain did not greet us and did not speak English. He (guide) also made an inappropriate sexual comment to my wife.
