This only runs on specific nights based on moon phase and water conditions. The bioluminescence is a real natural phenomenon — single-celled plankton that emit a blue glow when disturbed — and on the right night the experience is exactly as advertised. On the wrong night (any moonlight, or the wrong tide) you see almost nothing.

Reach out with your dates and the operator will tell you whether the conditions line up while you are in town.

What to bring

Shorts, t-shirt, a small flashlight.

Itinerary

  1. Short walk or short boat to the swim spot

    Snorkel in a shallow, protected area right off the beach.

  2. Wade in where you can stand

    Start where your feet touch bottom — the more adventurous can drift a little farther out.

  3. Float and watch the water light up

    Every kick, splash, and arm-stroke leaves a trail of blue sparkle in the water.

Wildlife you may see

Bioluminescent plankton (moonless nights only)
