Overview

We offer you the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience in the Manialtepec Lagoon, observing the wonderful phenomenon of Bioluminescence, which causes the lagoon to illuminate with flashes of light. We can only find this event in three places in Mexico and the most beautiful is located in Oaxaca. In addition to participating and experiencing the release of turtles on a beach considered a turtle sanctuary, where millions of species arrive each year, always providing the best quality, service and satisfaction to all our clients.

It is important to take into account that the best days to carry out the experience are when there is less luminosity of the moon, so we recommend checking the lunar calendar of the day you would like to do it. If you want to take the tour on days with a lot of light, floating houses are installed in the lagoon that are covered to be able to observe the Bioluminescence from inside.
