Aboard our Original Eduardoño boat, we explore prime locations to witness this spectacular phenomenon up close. Upon reaching the snorkeling spot, dip your hands into the water and marvel as countless bioluminescent sparks illuminate the surrounding waves.

After 40 minutes of snorkeling at two different sites, we return to Pochote, a charming fishing village in Tambor Bay at 7:30 pm,  This experience ranks among the finest Santa Teresa tours, leaving you with cherished memories.

Muertos Beach is one of the most popular bioluminescent beach in Costa Rica located in Bahía Ballena Pochote so close to santa teresa costa rica , or as it is also called Bahía tambor, with an exuberant marine and terrestrial biodiversity, surrounded by a huge mangrove that extends through a channel of approximately 2 kilometers and it is a beach of bioluminescent waves, approximately 30 minutes by car from Santa Teresa Costa Rica

The most common question we get here at Raccoon Travels is: when is the best time to see the bioluminescence? While we see bioluminescence all year long, your bioluminescent experience can depend on the time of year as well as what phase the moon is in. In the summer months, we see a bioluminescence produced by dinoflagellates. In the rainy months, we see a bioluminescence produced by comb jellies. In certain months while we transition between the dinoflagellates and comb bacterias, we are often able to see both of them out on the water!

While we typically see the bioluminescence nightly throughout the year, the optimal time for viewing is around new moons when there will be no moonlight reflecting on the water. In the dry months, during these darkened nights, the bioluminescent plankton give off a neon blue glow! You don’t have to go on the exact night of the new moon. The week surrounding the new moon is also a great time to go for example in tambor bay we can perform the tour 3 days after the full moon, because the moon hides behind the mountain and block all the brightness. If you are planning to go on a new moon night, or weekend, book well in advance as these tours sell out.
