Hoogtepunten
There are only a few places in the world where bioluminescence can be seen year round. And luckily for travelers to the Nicoya Peninsula there is one such place here. Bioluminescence is a light created by living organisms through a chemical reaction, biological light. In the gulf it is the algae that create this magical effect. Upon being disturbed, the algae give off a burst of light. Since there are millions of them it looks like sparkles in the water. The wavelengths are in the blue to green area and depending on the amount of algae it will appear as bluish or greenish sparkles. One of the best ways to see this phenomenon is to get a look from above, and kayaking is a great way to see it well. The algae will stick to your paddle, your hand or floating debris glowing for many seconds if you encounter a strong patch. When you kayak over shallow areas, fish will be scared up and it looks like fireworks under water as they take off, leaving a trail of “fairy dust” in their wake.

An absolutely magical night. Our hosts and guide were welcoming and knowledgeable. Our kids were able to jump off their kayaks and swim in the bioluminescence, it was unforgettable!
5Bioluminescence is a must see!
Luis our guide was very funny, good with safety, explained how bioluminescence occurs well in english and went out of his way to make sure we were able to see the brightest examples of bioluminescence as possible!!! Loved kayaking on the night water!
5Amazing experience!
This was a great experience, we appreciated how the big group was divided up so we had our own guide. We even got to swim and go around the whole island.

About Santa Teresa
Santa Teresa is a surf village on the Pacific side of Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, a long strip of beach breaks, forest and sunsets.
Santa Teresa stretches for several kilometres along a single road behind a wide beach on the southern part of the Nicoya Peninsula, in Costa Rica's Puntarenas province. Steady beach breaks have made it a surfing base, and the neighbouring village of Mal País shares the same coast. Forest runs down almost to the sand, the beach faces west for sunsets, and tide pools appear among the rocks at low water.
