Great tour! - The guides were extremely pleasant and knowledgeable, making the excursion fun for all! We first visited the Sea Stars and were able to explore around and hold sea stars. When it got dark we went to the Bioluminescent bay and snorkeled around! The bioluminescent bay was very cool. The boat ride was very smooth and lots of fun.

Great tour, definitely recommend - Really great tour - we stopped at starfish point first then went to bioluminescent bay. Totally worth seeing both!! Boat was very clean and water was provided. The guides were really great - we actually went one night, but a thunderstorm rolled in as we approached starfish point. They docked the boat and we waited on the shore to try to see if the storm would pass. Unfortunately, the storm continued for quite some time and the they decided to turn back and skip the bioluminescent bay that night. We were sad but it was definitely the right call as the rain was heavy and lightening was only getting worse. But they offered to take us out on the tour on the next night to make up for it. So we went out the next night and saw starfish point again and then the bioluminescent bay. It was beautiful! Also note that there are tiny jellyfish that may sting you at both starfish point and the bay. I was stung on the first night at starfish point - and while it does hurt, any lingering pain was gone by the morning. The boat also had vinegar spray ready for anyone who was stung, and it really helped!

Labor Day Weekend - The Staff and experience were great. The crew even ensured our camera settings were correct for the best pictures during the bioluminescent experience. Make sure you bring bug spray. Starfish Island was swarmed with mosquitoes at night.

Once-in-a-lifetime Adventure! - The captain and tour guide were friendly and professional. They provided updates beforehand/same day on WhatsApp and email which was extremely useful. NOTE: you have to make your own way to the yacht club. Everything was on time. They explained the event before we left the marina. They even provided head to toe lycra suits to protect us from the salt and possible jelly fish in the bio bay. They were very good about providing instructions on what to do and what NOT to do while visiting the bay. None of us had a bad experience. Unfortunately they did not explain too much about the starfish at starfish point, but that's OK. It wasn't our first rodeo. They left us to hang out which was fine. Once it was dark enough, we enjoyed the bio bay. It was surreal! We're so glad we had the opportunity to do this tour. Unfortunately a storm moved in, just as we were heading back, which was not pleasant; however, they provided blankets.
