About this experience
Kayak through the mangroves of Laguna Grande and experience the natural glow of bioluminescence. Bioluminescence varies nightly from faint sparkles to a stronger glow. As a natural phenomenon, brightness and visibility cannot be guaranteed. A tarp may be used to block out light and enhance visibility, making it easier to see even subtle sparkles.
Advisories:
1. Sargassum, a harmless local seaweed, may occasionally be present and emit an odor.
2. Solo kayakers and odd-numbered groups will be paired up.
3. You will get wet—dress accordingly.
4. During peak season, high traffic may cause light contact between kayaks; our experienced guides ensure a safe and enjoyable tour.
5. Participants aged 6–14 must ride in a tandem kayak with an adult.
Participants aged 15–17 must be accompanied by an adult on the tour.
6. Wear comfortable, quick-drying clothes and water shoes or sandals. You will get wet.
