Awesome boat rental! We got there later in the day around 1 pm and they had a 5 person boat ready to go. This was a great experience staff was great, very informative and gave us some tips of which little islands to visit. We settled on Caracoles water was beautiful and calm despite the 20 mph winds . You don’t need experience to drive these boats just small hand driven outboard motor.
This was the highlight of the trip for us - they had availability for us to book our group of 7 last-minute when plans unexpectedly changed, which was extremely fortuitous!
We took a 7:30pm boat out of Lajas with another group (10 people on the trip plus the captain and first mate). After a safety briefing and life jacket fitting, they took us to the biobay as the sun set - it was perfect timing, as the moon was at 3% illumination and the timing of the sunset let us see the bioluminescence perfectly.
In my opinion, 20 minutes in the water was the perfect amount of time to observe the biobay; you’re basically floating and looking at your hands/feet moving in the dark. 20 minutes left us wanting more without overtiring us.
I would highly recommend Fondo de Cristal for this experience; the staff was friendly and capable, the boat felt safe and well-maintained, and the biobay itself is well worth the trip - truly a magical place.
I have used this company several times with different groups of family and friends that come to visit, and they are great. The only thing I suggest is to look up the moon cycle and go when there is the least of that moon showing.
