One of the most amazing experiences our guests have had while visiting Bocas del Toro is the magical glow of bioluminescence at night. Be surrounded by an angelic glow of millions of bioluminescence particles as you paddle or swim through the warm ocean waters, while at the same time gazing at the starry sky above. It is an unforgettable experience that surely will remain with you forever.

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.
