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.

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.
