Bioluminescence + Sunset Snorkel
Snorkel through living starlight after a Pacific sunset.
Bioluminescence is plankton that glows when you disturb it. When you swim, every kick lights up. When you wave your hand under the water, it looks like fireworks.
We boat out from Tambor at sunset, anchor in a calm protected cove, eat fresh fruit and drink something cold while the sun goes down, then put on snorkel gear once it's dark.
The glow is strongest on moonless nights — we'll tell you when you book if the moon will affect your trip.
