Better than expected!
Had a great time, saw a lot of Bioluminescence. Had seen the experience for a couple years online and decided to finally give it a go and it was well worth it!

10/10 highly recommend
This was by far one of the most surreal experiences my partner and I have had. Got this as his birthday present the bioluminescent waters were on full display, with chances to roam freely even within the tour group. To top this experience off we were under the moonlight and stars with close to no light pollution. The tour guides had great knowledge about the water and were really chill with how you wanted to explore even within a group setting. 10/10 experience would definitely recommend these guys.
