Here’s an overview of your tour

The program is designed for travelers who prefer to visit popular tourist destinations, like James Bond Island, in a more relaxed and quiet setting. Since the island can get crowded during the day, this program offers a unique opportunity to explore the island in the evening, when the number of visitors is significantly lower.

One of the program’s highlights is the chance to see bioluminescent plankton. These tiny organisms emit a natural glow in the water at night, creating a magical and almost otherworldly experience. The glowing plankton adds an enchanting element to the tour, making it not only a visual spectacle but also a memorable, unique experience.
