About this experience

Experience a mesmerizing 2.5-hour evening tour, departing 45 minutes before sunset. Step aboard our historic vessel, once used by the legendary Jacques Cousteau, and prepare for a breathtaking natural light show.

As we sail to a secluded spot, enjoy a relaxing drink and a small snack while the sun sets over Bonaire. Once anchored, watch as the ostracods begin their magical ritual—tiny marine creatures emitting a beautiful blue glow, creating the illusion of a starry night beneath the sea.

From the comfort of our boat, you’ll have a front-row seat to this rare phenomenon. Keep an eye out for tarpons gliding through the illuminated waters, and on our way back, witness the enchanting bioluminescence trailing behind us.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of relaxation and natural wonder!


Front-Row Seats to Nature’s Light Show: Witness the mesmerizing glow of ostracods from the comfort of our boat—no snorkeling required!

Air-Conditioned Underwater Observation Deck: Experience the magic from our unique underwater viewing area with large windows, offering a clear and comfortable look at the glowing spectacle below.

Bioluminescent Magic: As we return, watch the water light up with bioluminescence trailing behind us.
