Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

We arrived on Osa Peninsular yesterday (after 5 hour drive) and immediately went on a kayak tour. There were basically three parts to this

First we kayaked around the mangroves and saw various wildlife including the stunning American Pigmy Kingfisher which I have heard three or four times but never seen. Also several birds from home Osprey, Grey Plover and Turnstone.

Next we had a chill on the beach with fresh fruit and swam in the pacific watching the sunset.

Then a nighttime Kayak until we came to a place where we could see the phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This is caused by tiny plankton. Nothing to show on film as it was so dark and they were so tiny. But it was magical. You ran your hand through the water and could see hundreds of tiny stars or jewels twinkling. We did a snorkel in the dark and it was like flying through space at light speed.Read more
