    We will show you the bioluminescence walking on the sandbank (if the tide is low), you will be able to see how blue or green dots light up in each footprint of your feet and hands, something magical.
    Later you will go a little deeper to swim and see this magical phenomenon in a different way, with each movement thousands of luminescent microorganisms light up, or sometimes like a neon light around you.
