We did the night tour only, make sure you double check when booking through here. The trip description is for the longer trip (at Sunset). The night tour is just the BioBay. (An App issue) But the experience overall was fantastic. Such friendly people Hector, and Cap. Ryan were very attentive. When traveling with minors SAFETY is always my priority and this met all our needs. Also having a private & safe place to park was the selling point for us. We will definitely book again and shoot for the Sunset and Biobay trip. Thank you Mareaito for giving our kids a memorable experience!

Great experience. Captain Jose when booked gave us clear directions to find the dock and communicated with us. Our boat captain Sebastian educated us about how the bioluminescent bay works and how we were able to swim there versus others. I didn’t think I would jump in but I couldn’t miss this opportunity. Such an awesome experience.

Actually friendly guide. Cut out the boring feeling of big company guides, straight to the bioluminescent bay (12 mins) ish, some nice info about the islands history during that ride. As we arrived and waited for the sun to set, roughly 20 mins, we jumped in and swam until we couldn't. Overall, wouldve paid to swim more. Will return.
