Bioluminescence by Kayak or SUP to Los Arcos, Puerto Vallarta

About this activity

This experience combines adventure, nature, and one of the ocean’s most fascinating phenomena: bioluminescence.

**Bioluminescence in motion** – You don’t just watch it—you interact with it. Every paddle stroke and movement in the water can create tiny flashes of light around you.

**A peaceful experience** – No engines or noise, just the paddles, the water, and the sounds of the night as you make your way toward Los Arcos.

**Respect for marine life** – By traveling only with paddles, we reduce noise and our impact on the marine environment.

**A hands-on adventure** – Here, you’re not just a passenger. You paddle, explore, and experience the ocean from water level.

More than simply seeing bioluminescence, you’ll experience everything around it: the darkness, the silence, Los Arcos, and the feeling of moving across the ocean beneath the stars.

This isn’t simply a tour to see bioluminescence. It’s a different way to experience it.
