Hello, I'm Juan! Born and raised in Paquera, for some years I went to live in Belgium. During my childhood I went diving a lot and I still love doing it when I can. Being out on the sea is the best for me. The last 2 years I spent most of my time taking people out on the sea for snorkeling, fishing or other activities. I love showing people the beautiful area of ​​Paquera and informing them about the different things you can do here during your visit.

There are only a few places in the world where bioluminescence can be seen every day of the year. And luckily for travelers to the Nicoya Peninsula there is one such place here. Let's back up a minute and talk about the bioluminescence. What is it really? Bioluminescence is a light created by living organisms through a chemical reaction, biological light. You might have seen it in some form on land as fireflies or glow worms. In the gulf it is the algae that create this magical effect. Upon being disturbed, the algae give off a burst of light. Since there are millions of them it looks like sparkles. One of the best ways to see it is to get a look from above, and kayaking is a great way to see it well. The algae stick to your paddle, your hand or floating debris glowing for many seconds if you encounter a strong patch. When you kayak over shallow areas, fish will be scared up and it looks like fireworks under water as they take off, leaving a trail of “fairy dust" in their wake.
