Great experience on Eddie s Bioluminescence Tour - What an amazing experience. Eddie explained the science behind this phenomenon. The boat was clean, comfortable, and safety precautions were more than adequate. The price is right also.

Simply an amazing experience - Our evening with Eddy was so much fun and so unique. Eddy was so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable and we knew we were in for a fantastic evening from the moment we arrived.
Eddy’s location is easy to find on Google Maps or Waze. It is left from the ferry if you are arriving that way, and keep driving. The road isn’t all paved, but don’t be put off!
We arrived at about 5:30 for our 6:00 appointment and spent the time until sunset on the water watching an eagle ray in the water and admiring the scenery. His location is a true paradise on earth. We had booked kayaks, but based on the moon, he recommended we go in a boat instead and that was definitely the right choice.
Our tour started as dark was hitting, and we set out. Eddy have us an enjoyable overview of the biology of the water so we better underwood what we were about to see, and then he took us to a dark cove. At first I didn’t really see it, but when we stopped in the dark and I moved my hand through the water, it looked like I had stars in my hand. Magical!
Overall we had an amazing time. It was better than Avatar! Thanks, Eddy :)

Magical lights in the water with Eddy - Eddy and his wife Rita were very hospitable before getting on the water. Eddy led a great tour going to a few different spots with varying amounts of bioluminescence. It was a truly magical experience and something we’d recommend to anyone traveling through the area. We did the tour the night after the new moon which is the optimal time to see the lights so set your timing up with that if you can.

Magic Night, Excellent, The best bioluminescence in Costa Rica - There is no better service than Eddy's, if you want to see a guaranteed bioluminescence you have to request Eddy's tour. Not only does he offer you the tour, he has a lot of knowledge about bioluminescence, he also taught us kayaking first, he is very friendly and available. Even with rain he knows, like, when and where to see it. Not many services like this. Recommended 100%.

Not only did I buy a tour, I bought a unique experience. - My name is José David Camacho, Paquera's neighbor This is my second experience doing the tour The first was a success but I could not take pictures as my cell phone was not advanced unlike this time.
Why did I choose Mr. Eddy again?
For your human warmth full of love in terms of customer treatment (many will think but it is your job and the answer is yes, but sometimes you pay and the experience is terrible because you do not have that click to treat how you deserve people and really worth what you invest monetarily and this Mr. Eddy has it).
His extensive knowledge in the subject of bio-licensing other than speaking English and that combined with the deal will make his experience unique and that will remain forever in their hearts and in my case was no exception.
While it is true the memories remain in our hearts, having a beautiful memory also makes it unique so I recommend having a fairly advanced cell phone like I Phone, honor what have a high resolution to take pictures at night.
The location is excellent and you will be safe at all times, life jackets, bathrooms, tubes to wash your feet and especially good parking.
Would you do the tour with Eddy again?
Yes, as they say you return to the place where you were happy, but above all it is treated with love, the nature that infects our spirit and the peace that abounds in it, I besides buying a tour buy an experience in this beautiful place Peninsula that once you are here you do not want to leave...... 🙌🇨�🇨🇷❤️❤️.

Swimming in light!!! - AMAZING. if you have any doubt get rid of it and go! It was the coolest thing we did in costa rica and one of best experiences of my life. We got to swim in the water which feels so alien because of glowing light trails. He told us we had a mega bloom of algae and it was so bright. Definitely go and swim. We ended doing kayaks but were still able to swim. Do the 8pm tour so it is darker as well. Eddy is very nice and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
