Absolutely amazing... - Absolutely amazing experience! The boat crew were very helpful and reassuring. They took the time to take individual pictures of each family and group in the water. I highly recommend this tour company!

Coolest thing Ever!! - This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The picture and video don’t do it justice. To see the tiny plankton light up as you move past them. I highly recommend using a snorkel mast so you can see what’s happening around you. Slowly moving your hands in front of you looks like you are shooting electricity out your finger tips. Our crew was great- very friendly, very knowledgeable, and happy to shoot pictures and video for us. This boat has a double hull, so we could swim under it for extra darkness to see the glow even better. Would highly recommend this excursion and this crew.

Excellent, highly recommend. - This was an amazing experience! Getting in the water is highly recommended. Pepe and Aron were awesome, very professional, personable, and willing to help. They had protection suits so there were no worries about jellyfish. I would love to go with them again.

Just Do It! - WE did this under a full moon in the rain with lightning. They had us swim under the catamaran to block the moon's brightness for an even more magical affect. The workers were both fun and kind. They were also masterful photographers and gentle with iphone instructions for the elderly. I have had many many magical experiences in my life, but this is right at the top. We were all accommodated individually and had the time of our lives. I can't recommend this highly enough! Just DO IT!

Relaxing Evening Experience - This was a very relaxing experience. We went out at 6:30pm and returned at 9 pm. We brought towels and bug spray. Mosquitoes are bad at night. It was a neat experience to se the bioluminescent in the water.

Once in a lifetime experience - Super cool experience, easy to book and confirm. The crew was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. Made sure everyone got perfect pictures and knew the best way to see the bioluminescence. Star fish point was super neat too and our 2 year old was able to partake in holding them. would definitely recommend to anyone.

Fun, must go just find a cheaper vendor. - This was a good tour, I'm just not sure why is so much. Me and my 18 month old were on the excursion and it was 190.00. You go to the starfish and the bioluminesence area.... it's nice but I would find a more affordable experience. To be clear the team was amazing. They were fun and knowledgeable. They provide wet suits and a cooler if you bring drinks. The bioluminescence you can see, a little. It looks brighter in the photo than in person. You need s good camara to pick it it up. I would say go, for sure. Just find cheaper vendor.
