What makes this tour different from other Snorkeling and/ or Bioluminiscent tours?
The biggest difference is in our tour is a combination of Snorkeling, Sunset watching and a Bioluminiscence swimm in a boat requiring no effort on your part.
Caracoles Cay warm, turquoise and cristal clear waters rival famed Flamenco Beach in Culebra, but without the hassle of having to take taxi or drive more than 2 hours to Fajardo to then take a 1 hour ferry. But you can also swim and inmerse in it, not just swipe your hand 3 feet obove the water in a a kayak whichbis the only option doing the Fajardo Bioluminiscense tours are all performed in Kayaks and is an uneventful and less than ideal way to do it due to the kayaking in the dark through a narrow channel bumping to other kayaks and mangrove roots. It is also within the main island so no ferry or overnight stay to do it like in Mosquito Bay.
Is swimming at the bioluminiscence waters safe for me or the bioluminiscence?
Swimming in the bioluminiscence waters is a regular swim. The dinoflagelates are microscopic amd very resilient so our sking oils represent no harm for them, and you can't feel any difference from regular sea water other than the bay is a bit warmer because limited water flow and salter because there were salt mines in the area, but that's good because you will float easier. We also have foam noodles that you can use and float even easier.
