About your Experience
Indulge in an exclusive Private Bioluminescence Swim Tour and witness the ocean glow beneath the night sky. Swim in calm, dark waters as thousands of radiant blue lights illuminate with every movement you make. This 5-hour private experience combines sunset views, wildlife encounters, and one of nature’s rarest phenomena. Designed for travelers seeking privacy, comfort, and unforgettable moments in Costa Rica.
Please inquire about availability before booking, as this experience depends on the lunar phase and is best experienced close to the new moon, when the sky is darkest. For this reason, tour dates depend on the moon phases, and experiences are not available for approximately 10 days around the full moon, and your tour may need to be rescheduled.

Your 5-hour Private Bioluminescence Swim Tour begins in the early evening, offering a carefully curated journey designed for privacy, tranquility, and extraordinary natural beauty.
If tide conditions allow, your adventure starts at the peaceful Pochote Estuary. Here, you’ll glide through mangroves while observing native birds and enjoying the calm atmosphere of this rich ecosystem. The estuary’s quiet beauty sets the tone for the magical evening ahead.
Next, you’ll head to Playa Muertos, a serene and scenic beach where you can relax with snacks, fresh fruits, and refreshing drinks while watching a spectacular sunset over the Pacific Ocean. As the sky transitions into deep twilight, anticipation builds for the highlight of the evening.
As darkness fully settles, you’ll travel to the bioluminescence area. Step into the ocean and watch as every movement of your hands and body ignites thousands of sparkling blue lights in the water. Tiny marine organisms illuminate around you, creating the sensation of floating through a glowing galaxy. The darker the night, the more intense and visible the bioluminescence — making moonless evenings especially breathtaking.
This private experience allows you to enjoy the phenomenon at your own pace, surrounded only by your chosen group and the peaceful rhythm of the ocean at night. By the end of the evening, you’ll return to shore having witnessed one of nature’s most spectacular secrets.
Bioluminescence is best experienced close to the new moon, when the sky is darkest. For this reason, tour dates depend on the moon phases, and experiences are not available for approximately 10 days around the full moon, and your tour may need to be rescheduled.
