It’s a relaxed and enjoyable moment on the water, offering a beautiful transition from the daytime cruise to the nighttime experience.

    Los Arcos de Mismaloya

    Los Arcos de Mismaloya is a protected marine sanctuary known for its impressive rock formations and sea arches rising from the ocean. During the nighttime portion of the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to observe—and optionally swim in—the calm waters as natural bioluminescence begins to appear. With each movement, the water glows blue, creating a unique and memorable experience. Guided by a local expert, the group explores this area in low light, allowing the bioluminescence to stand out clearly against the surrounding rock formations. Whether swimming or observing from the water nearby, you´ll enjoy the glow as it surrounds hands and movement, turning the sea into a natural light display

    1 hour Admission ticket included
