What to expect

Bioluminescence is a chemical process through which marine vertebrates and invertebrates, fungi, and fireflies produce and generate light. This relatively rare worldwide phenomenon occurs in the Caribbean waters of Bocas del Toro, where it illuminates the ocean, the waves, and the shoreline with a blue glow at night. The light or glow is created by marine plankton - scientifically known as dinoflagellate - which activates a blue glow when it senses movement in the water.

Join us on our fun Bioluminescence Tour and let our expert guides take you to the best spots around Bocas del Toro where you can witness this amazing phenomenon in a safe environment.
