Overview

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

Bioluminescence in motion – Don't just observe it, interact with it. Every stroke and movement in the water can awaken small flashes of light around you.

A silent experience – No engines or noise, just the oars, the water, and the sounds of the night as you advance towards Los Arcos.

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

First-person adventure – Here you are not just a passenger. You explore and experience the ocean from the surface.

More than observing the bioluminescence, you will live everything around it: the darkness, the silence, the Arches, and the feeling of moving over the sea under the stars.

It's not simply a tour to see bioluminescence. It is a different way of living it.

Activity itinerary

For more than 9 years, we have guided travellers through the waters of Mismaloya to discover one of the most fascinating natural phenomena of the ocean: bioluminescence. This phenomenon can be observed throughout the year. Depending on the season and the lunar phase, we will recommend doing the experience before sunrise or after sunset, looking for the best conditions. We will paddle from our beach club in Mismaloya to Los Arcos Marine National Park, one of the most emblematic places in Puerto Vallarta. When darkness envelops the sea, the magic begins: every stroke and movement in the water can awaken small sparks of light. Without engines or noise, only the oars, the ocean, and the night, they will discover The Arches from a completely different perspective. Upon returning, seasonal fruit, cookies, bonbons, and hot chocolate await you by our bonfire in front of the sea. The photographs of the tour and the return transport from our meeting point in Puerto Vallarta are included. And if you want to stay a little longer, you can close the experience enjoying the pizzas from our restaurant.
