Bioluminescence & Sunset Kayaking Tour – from Puerto Jiménez

Sunset, stars, and glowing waters — a magical kayak experience from Puerto Jiménez.

🌴 Tour Overview

🌌What makes this tour unforgettable?

As the sun dips below the horizon, your kayak glides over waters that come alive with light. This tour combines the beauty of a tropical sunset with the rare natural phenomenon of bioluminescence — tiny plankton lighting up with each paddle stroke.

You’ll begin at golden hour, enjoying the changing colors of the sky, and continue paddling into night as the stars emerge and the water glows beneath your boat. It’s peaceful, surreal, and unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

Perfect for couples, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a different kind of Costa Rican magic.

📌 Good to Know Before Booking

Our groups are limited to five people + the guide, to ensure a personal and immersive experience.

If you’d rather have a private experience, you can request a private tour for an additional cost. Perfect for couples, families, or those who want a slower pace or more flexibility.

It is a tropical rainforest — rain is part of the experience.

 

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule tours if heavy rain or strong winds make it unsafe. Expect bumpy boat rides depending on the weather.

Expect flexible timing — this is real jungle, not Disneyland.

 

Tide levels, and wildlife activity can all affect the schedule. Kayaking rides may be longer or bumpier than expected. Just relax and enjoy the adventure.

🎯 A Quick Note on Bioluminescence

This is a natural phenomenon — not every night is the same.
Visibility depends on moon phase, weather, and water conditions.
But when everything aligns, it’s pure magic.

Our local guides will position you in the best spots and times to maximize your chances — with the least impact on nature.
