Overview

  • This experience combines adventure, nature, and one of the ocean’s most fascinating phenomena: bioluminescence.

    Bioluminescence in motion – You don’t just watch it—you interact with it. Every paddle stroke and movement in the water can create tiny flashes of light around you.

    A peaceful experience – No engines or noise, just the paddles, the water, and the sounds of the night as you make your way toward Los Arcos.

    Respect for marine life – By traveling only with paddles, we reduce noise and our impact on the marine environment.

    A hands-on adventure – Here, you’re not just a passenger. You paddle, explore, and experience the ocean from water level.

    More than simply seeing bioluminescence, you’ll experience everything around it: the darkness, the silence, Los Arcos, and the feeling of moving across the ocean beneath the stars.

    This isn’t simply a tour to see bioluminescence. It’s a different way to experience it.

Activity itinerary

For more than 9 years, we have guided travelers through the waters of Mismaloya to discover one of the ocean’s most fascinating natural phenomena: bioluminescence. This phenomenon can be seen year-round. Depending on the season and moon phase, we will recommend experiencing it before sunrise or after sunset, when conditions are best. We’ll paddle from our beach club in Mismaloya toward Los Arcos Marine National Park, one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic natural landmarks. As darkness covers the ocean, the magic begins: every paddle stroke and movement in the water can create tiny flashes of light. With no engines or noise—just paddles, the ocean, and the night—you’ll discover Los Arcos from a completely different perspective. When we return, seasonal fruit, cookies, marshmallows, and hot chocolate will be waiting for you by our beachfront bonfire. Tour photos and round-trip transportation from our meeting point in Puerto Vallarta are included. And if you’d like to stay a little longer, you can end the experience by enjoying pizzas from our restaurant.
