About this trip

After a 15-minute boat ride, we’ll make a relaxing stop to enjoy a drink while taking in the sunset over the Pacific. 🌅

As darkness begins to fall, we’ll continue to a small, sheltered bay away from artificial lights, where we’ll wait for the night to become completely dark.

That’s when the magic begins. ✨

Tiny bioluminescent organisms in the water create flashes of white or blue light with movement. As the water moves around you, you may see little sparks of light dancing across the surface, creating an unforgettable natural spectacle.

For those who want to get closer to the experience, the more adventurous can jump into the water and swim among the glowing plankton, watching the water sparkle with every movement.

Whether you stay on the boat or take the plunge, it’s a unique opportunity to experience one of nature’s most fascinating nighttime phenomena.

Sunset, dark skies and glowing water — a little bit of magic on the Pacific. ✨🌊
