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.
