This was supposed to be a fantastic experience, but they took us in early and brought us back by 7:30, which is when other tours started. It was not dark enough, and they put tarps on our heads to simulate darkness in the bay. We were barely able to see anything. Further, the guides could not control the kayakers, who kept banging into each other. Taking us out into the bay so early was useless, and a very disappointing experience. I have taken this kind of tour before and had an amazing experience. This wasn't very pleasant.

The bioluminescence is interesting, but the night we were there, underwhelming. The kayaking was fun. We were warned that weather conditions were not good for luminescence, and the warnings were accurate.

This experience was great! We did the earlier tour, so it was still light out while kayaking to the lagoon but dark on the way back. Unfortunately it was pretty light out, so they had to put a tarp over us so we could see the glow. But we could see it! Definitely something everyone should experience. Our tour guides Emily, Joe, and AJ were very helpful, and our driver Rafael was super informative and kind. I will say, it gets pretty dark on the way back and the channel is narrow, so you may want at least one person in the kayak with you that has some experience. Overall though, it was worth the trip.
