About this experience

Come out and experience what nature has to show you at this remarkable spot, where you will witness a phenomenon that only occurs in certain parts of the world. Travelers will board a boat to explore the bioluminescent lagoon and learn what causes it iridescent blue-green glow.
After which you can go for a swim and see the water light up around you or if you wish ,you can stay on the boat and have as much fun just watching others splashing the water to see the magnificent glow.
The Darker the night the brighter the glow.
Therefore we recommend that travellers book this Excursion on a dark night rather than when the Moon is Full.
Book wisely on a dark night for the best experience.
You will also get the chance to have a meal or drinks at one of Falmouths
Most decent and authentic restaurants before or after the tour while enjoying the entertainment of the hilarious fireman while dining.
