Overview
The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the few places in the world where bioluminescence can be seen year-round, creating a magical spectacle for travelers. This phenomenon is caused by algae in the gulf that emit light when disturbed, producing sparkles in the water.
- 🌊 The bioluminescent algae create bursts of light, appearing as bluish or greenish sparkles depending on their concentration.
- 🛶 Kayaking offers an excellent vantage point to witness this stunning effect from above.
- ✨ Algae may adhere to your paddle or hands, glowing for many seconds if you encounter a strong patch.
- 🐟 When kayaking over shallow areas, fish can be startled, creating an underwater display resembling fireworks as they swim away.
To keep footprints lighter, Tinggly offers instant digital delivery, a never-expiring benefit, and global options.

This incredible tour is peaceful and breathtaking, all at the same time. The kayak launch area is just a short distance from the Paquera ferry landing, and the calm gulf water is very accessible by kayak.
At sunset, we gather under the palm trees overlooking the bio-bay for a welcome with complimentary refreshments. Our experienced guide, Luis gives a briefing of the tour. He will equip everyone with suitable life jackets and lead the way to the launch area for the kayaks. He is careful to help entering the kayaks and giving instructions to those that do not have kayaking experience. Everyone gets to do the full hour of the tour in their own kayak or a tandem kayak.
You stop along the way, where Luis will explain more about the magical sparkling water and the marine life in the bay. The darker the night, the better the experience will be.
Upon the return to the Bahia Rica beach, we have fresh water and towels available, and bathroom facilities if needed.
