Bioluminescent Starship Experience

**Paddle as a team aboard your giant Starship** Forget about paddling alone. Your giant paddleboard turns the journey into a fun and social experience where everyone works together while exploring the coast of Mismaloya. **Experience Los Arcos at night** Discover one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic natural landmarks from a different perspective, surrounded by the ocean and the silhouettes of the islands beneath the night sky. **Swim in glowing water** Experience the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence from the water. Move your hands and body and watch tiny marine organisms create flashes of light around you. **A small-group, motor-free adventure** No noisy engines—just paddles, the ocean, and the night. A more intimate and environmentally friendly way to experience the beauty of Banderas Bay.
