Puerto Jiménez: Bioluminescence and Sunset Sightseeing Tour in the Golfo Dulce｜Costa Rica

Sunset and Bioluminescence: A Natural Immersion in the Golfo Dulce

Enjoy a peaceful afternoon paddling on the waters of the gulf while you wait for the magic of the night. On this tour, you'll see the changing lights of the sunset before looking for the organic sparkles that the ocean reveals with each paddle stroke.
It's the most authentic way to discover the nocturnal ecosystem of the Osa Peninsula!

Your experience begins at our base

We recommend arriving in advance to enjoy our facilities. Our base is home to Aventuras Café, our coffee shop, where you can relax, have a drink, or eat before starting the activity.

It's also the perfect time to visit our souvenir shop, where we offer 100% natural personal care products made by local hands.

The tour: From sunset to natural glow

After a safety briefing, you'll receive your top-notch gear. We'll paddle as the sun sets, enjoying the sea breeze and the transition to nighttime in the Golfo Dulce.

Once it gets dark, we'll look for the areas where the bioluminescence is concentrated. When you move your paddle or when the fish pass by, you'll see a blue-green glow in the water. It's important to remember that the intensity of this phenomenon is natural and varies according to the weather and the phase of the moon, always offering a unique and different experience.

Comfort at the end

When you return to the base, you won't have to worry about salt or the cold. We have private showers and changing rooms so you can freshen up and change into dry clothes comfortably before continuing with your evening.
