Share Activity

Location Paquera, Costa Rica

El Gecko Tours

Experience the mesmerizing spectacle of bioluminescent phenomena during a kayaking expedition along the Bay of Paquera. Witness how aquatic life illuminates their journey through the water, resembling shooting stars as they navigate through the waves.



This tour offers an exceptional experience. Starting from the picturesque beach adjacent to the ferry dock in Paquera, known as Playa Relleno, participants embark on a journey through the bay. Here, they will have the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas and islands while enjoying breathtaking sunsets alongside fellow travelers. As darkness descends, visitors can marvel at the mesmerizing display of plankton glows under the starry sky, creating a magical ambiance where fish illuminate their paths much like shooting stars, moving gracefully with hand or paddle movements.

As part of your visit to Costa Rica, you are likely to discover other remarkable natural wonders. Among these, the enchanting spectacle of bioluminescent phenomena stands out as one of the most spectacular. While this natural phenomenon occurs globally, its occurrence varies based on local conditions such as seasonality and optimal environmental factors. In contrast, Paquera Bay consistently hosts bioluminescence throughout the year, albeit influenced by lunar illumination, tidal patterns, and stream flows. Consequently, there may be limitations to the visibility of this luminous phenomenon during the last week preceding a full moon and on the day itself due to these external influences.
