Bioluminiscencia

The adventure begins with the transfer to a quiet area of the island, away from light pollution. During the tour, guides explain what bioluminescence is and how this natural phenomenon occurs.Upon arrival, travelers will be able to walk or swim in shallow waters, where each movement causes the sea to light up with blue flashes, creating a magical effect similar to swimming between stars. You will also have time to enjoy the night sky, take pictures and relax in a completely natural environment.The experience includes accompaniment at all times by local guides, safety recommendations and an intimate and safe environment. It’s a perfect activity for those looking for something different or simply unforgettable.
