Overview

This is more than just a night snorkel—it's a full sensory adventure. We begin with a beautiful sunset at sea, followed by a guided night snorkel in bioluminescent waters, where every movement creates glowing trails around you. Unlike typical tours, we explore from a boat in a protected marine area with no light pollution, offering a truly immersive and safe experience. Hosted by a local expert, you'll learn about the natural phenomenon, enjoy optional cliff jumping, and sip on drinks like water, beer, and soda on board. Intimate, authentic, and unforgettable—this is the kind of experience that leaves you speechless.

    What To Expect

    Parque Nacional Marino Los Arcos de Mismaloya

    Located off the coast of Mismaloya, south of Puerto Vallarta, Los Arcos Marine Park is one of the region’s most iconic natural landmarks. Named after its granite rock formations shaped like arches and tunnels, it’s home to rich marine life.By day, it’s a top snorkeling site with coral reefs and volcanic formations. But at night, this magical place reveals something rare: bioluminescence.This phenomenon happens when microscopic organisms called dinoflagellates emit a glowing blue light as the water moves. On dark, calm nights, the glow becomes visible around the boat—and even more magical when swimming, lighting up with every motion.Los Arcos is one of the few places nearby where you can safely experience this in a protected marine zone. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with nature through a glowing sea.
