About this experience
This is a super fun afternoon and night activity that's a little different than anything offered on the islands.
We will start will a fantastic spot to watch the sunset. We have a few places to choose from. You might not always get the sun dipping into the ocean, But the location will be unique.
After the sun sets, we will head to a very dark location where we can start having some fun. Your guide will show you how to light paint. If you have no idea what this is, even better. You will be able to create art at night with our tools.
We recommend bringing a camera that can adjust the settings for long exposures. If you don't, your guide will take some photos with their cameras and email a link after the tour.
Understand that this is a different type of tour you are taking and is more about having fun and learning something new.
Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
