      Swimming in the bioluminescence

      Erika_E, Apr 2026
      We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the area where we would meet our captain who would take us on our tour. It was worth the long drive! We loved swimming in bioluminescence, it was magnificent.

      Thankyou so much guys🙌🙌😃 Regards 😃✌️😁

      Overpriced but amazing to see

      Philip_L, Oct 2025
      Tour was punctual, personable and well executed. The bioluminescence was amazing to see. I believe I overpaid by a lot as places in town would do it for 1/3 the price.

      Awesome choice

      Humberto_C, May 2025
      Great experience, there no words to describe it, the water is warm, the boat ride and view is great, if you go just let yourself go and enjoy

      Magical experience!

      Beth_L, May 2025
      We had a great time on this tour hunting white bioluminescence. Our pick up was on time, the minibus was very comfortable and our driver, Johnny was great. The boat trip to the blackout tents was lovely and the white bioluminescence sparked off our skin like millions of tiny diamonds. Unforgettable!

      The staff were really friendly, however our expectations were different than reality. The ride there was long and I am not sure it was worth it. The water was warm and when moved there was some bioluminescence. We were expecting more. The van was very well air conditioned, maybe too much for having been wet in the night time

      Don’t book

      Tour operator sent us a message the morning of the tour changing location (OK, we understand that can happen) and then informing us there was no English speaking guide available because the English speaking guide was drunk.

      A must do in Puerto Escondido

      Courtney_G, Dec 2023
      Mario was great, such a cool experience, would highly recommend this tour company. The owner played a fun prank on us that we got a kick out of. His driver got stuck in traffic so he rode his scooter over and said me and my husband would be joining him on the scooter. He was just letting us know the driver was running late, which was good I wasn’t about to have 3 adults on one scooter🤣. We had our own car that met up with another group on the boat. The moon was bright so there are tents you go inside to see better. So much fun

      Super fun and memorable!

      Shaina_W, Dec 2023
      Our guide Mario picked my friend and I up at our hotel, and because we got there so far in advance of the other part of our group, our guide Mario took us out alone to the biobay. Swimming in the bay was amazing! Like floating in the stars. Mario was very nice and super informative. We had a great time. Highly recommend!

      Stargazing and a little illumination

      Maximilian_O, Nov 2023
      Best part was the clear milkyway(stargazing) and the illuminating water (white colors). Only downside was that is was kinda short and overpriced for what you get. Nevertheless a nice experience.

      Amazing

      valerie_p, Apr 2023
      Really extra ordinary experience, really good staff, take the sunset spot, surprising and awsome. Great

      Do it because why not

      Bernard_C, Mar 2023
      Ramsey was an awesome guide and very funny. The trip was enjoyable and the plankton were plentiful. Recommend as a nice way to cool off at night as well.

      Best Night Tour

      Miguel_M, May 2021
      Wow!!!! This is all could say about this tour. The lagoon is pitch black but once you hit that really warm thermal water the water lights up just like advertised!!! I have no words ! This is probably the best night tour I’ve ever done. They give you around 40 min to swim in the warm water and it isn’t deep at all. I could touch the mud at the bottom. I highly recommend this tour!

      Underwhelming

      Jani_H, Dec 2020
      It was an underwhelming experience although visually vaguely cool. Tour language was Spanish rather than English as selected which was disappointing

      It's already a beautiful...

      Markus_K, Nov 2025
      It's already a beautiful experience that I don't want to miss. Be sure to bring me waterproof phone cases. Price is too high.

      El Encanto de la Laguna y los Altibajos del Tour

      Laura_C, Jul 2024
      El tour a la laguna fue una experiencia magnífica, con vistas únicas que valieron la pena. Aunque no me animé a nadar, disfruté mucho del conocimiento y la amabilidad del conductor, quien nos proporcionó abundante información. Sin embargo, la experiencia en el bote fue decepcionante: el capitán, que parecía tener unos 10 años, no transmitió confianza ni seguridad. El recorrido, programado para 30 minutos, duró apenas 10, y el retorno abrupto nos dejó sorprendidos. Inicialmente gracioso, pronto se volvió incómodo y carente de profesionalismo.
