Plankton Night Swim

Swim in bioluminescent water on a moonless night — every movement leaves a trail of light. Seasonal and weather-dependent, so ask us when you book.

What’s included

  • Local guide
  • Pickup near your lodging

Itinerary

  1. Short walk or short boat to the swim spot

    We snorkel in a shallow, protected area right off the beach.

  2. Wade in where you can stand

    Start where your feet touch bottom — the more adventurous can drift a little farther out.

  3. Float and watch the water light up

    Every kick, splash, and arm-stroke leaves a trail of blue sparkle in the water.

Wildlife you may see

  • Bioluminescent plankton (moonless nights only)

This only runs on specific nights based on moon phase and water conditions — message us with the dates you are in town and we will tell you if it is possible.

What to bring

Shorts, t-shirt, a small flashlight.
