Ok, the people were very nice, the kayak and the equipment very good. But we have not seen much bioluminescence. Our guide had to jump in the water and take some water with his t-shirt to show us some light. That part was a bit deceiving. We saw some by moving water with our paddle.

The actual Bioluminescence was very cool. I think this tour could improve a lot by smoothing out the logistics. On our tour there was no orientation given on land. Once we had a dozen people in kayaks on the bay, the tour guide began to explain the tour over the sound of waves in the dark. We couldn't hear half of what he was saying and it was difficult to focus on listening when you're trying to stay in the same place with your kayak. During the tour the guides would occasionally shine a light but we were never sure if he was directing us to keep paddling or to stop. Again, an orientation on this would have made things much easier. The launch point is also very dirty - lots of driftwood and garbage washing up from the bay. It didn't make it enticing to get in the water.

We organized a three day trip from Samara to Paquera JUST to do the bioluminescence tour. Absolutely worth it. The guides were very knowledgeable and knew where to take us for the most concentrations - so the bioluminescence was very intense. The kids lost their minds when they looked into the water and could see the trails left by fish swimming in the bioluminescence. So cool.
