Adventure Tips
Book Evening Tours for Bioluminescence
The bioluminescent bay is best experienced at night when the glowing plankton are most visible, so plan your kayak or boat tour after sundown.

Protect marine life by choosing eco-friendly sunscreens that won’t harm coral reefs or bioluminescent organisms.
Hydrate Before and After Tours
The warm climate and water activities can dehydrate you quickly; bring water and drink plenty before and after your trip.
Arrive Early for Private Boat Tours
To maximize your time on secluded islands and snorkeling spots, arrive early to get settled before departure.
