Venture to the heart of the island in our unique flamingo design kayaks. We advance approximately 2 km between the sandbanks and the beach, until we reach the entrance of the Kuká River, right where the protected area begins. We enter the river, along the way we can find region birds such as: ospreys, cormorants, frigates, shorebirds, herons, etc. Migratory birds (depending on the season, in winter we can see more species) such as: flamingos (May-December), white pelicans, Mexican tiger heron, shorebirds, etc. As guides, we know the feeding and resting points of some species of birds, as well as the crocodiles that live there (they are not aggressive, we respect the distance and their space). Inside the river we can see 3 types of mangroves that make up the ecosystem. The landscape inside the river is unique and relaxing, you connect with nature. At a point where we can stop inside the river, we will have a snack and then continue. At some point during the tour, when we don’t affect the species due to noise, we will talk to you about our natural protected area and he’s ecosystems and wath we have seen. Do not hesitate to ask us, we try to give an answer based on what we have learned in our training. And remember, all species are found in their natural habitat, not in a zoo, so what we see is different every day, we will appreciate what nature allows us. It is also important that you know that paddling could be sometimes difficult due to the current in the river, high tide, waves or wind; The weather is very unpredictable on an island, it isn’t in our hands to control it, so we must be prepared for any change in weather conditions during the tour. In advance, due to any forecast of bad weather or storms, the maritime authority notifies us and we cancel activities, we will let you know if that happens. As guides who love our jobs, it will be a pleasure to provide you with a unique and unforgettable experience.

We pick you up at your hotel, if road conditions are favorable, in all terrain vehicles. We take you to the last hotel in the hotel zone (Las Nubes). We then take the kayaks (double or single) and give you instructions before we start paddling. Then we paddle for approximately 15 - 20 minutes to the famous "sandbanks of Punta Mosquito" (we do not reach Punta Mosquito as it is a protected area and access is completely forbidden). We stay as far away as possible from light pollution, respecting our navigation limits. Depending on the season, from the moment we start paddling we can observe the bioluminescence in every movement (normally from May - September it can be seen from 70% - 100% intensity). The rest of the months the visibility can vary from 30% to 80% intensity. We look for the point with the highest concentration of plankton, once there we first get out of the kayaks to walk on the sandbanks, where we can see how our footprints are illuminated by blue-green dots. Then we will walk deeper into the sea at a reasonable depth so you can swim and see how in every movement your body is illuminated by millions of bioluminescent microorganisms, it can be seen in 3 different colors: green, white or blue, the color is unpredictable. Here we explain about this natural phenomenon and our nature reserve. If the sky is clear it will be another amazing spectacle. Remember, it is a natural phenomenon, so visibility may vary, as it depends on many factors such as: the amount of plankton, water temperature, sea currents, to mention a few. As tour guides we do our best to make you enjoy this amazing phenomenon and live an unforgettable experience, always hoping that nature will reciprocate in the best way. In total we do approximately 45 minutes on the sandbanks and swimming, then we return to the starting point, where the vehicle will be ready to take you back to your hotel, or if the roads are not in good condition, to the central park.
