Places you must visit and see
These couple of suggestions are things to do around this area that, even us as locals love to do! Feel free to ask any questions about our recommendations!
MUST do!!! There are less than 10 places in the world where the water glows...therefore we strongly suggest that you visit this one. Make sure you make the reservation a night without full moon to make the experience better.
Everyone (5+) $48
Notes:
(1) Some pictures of the Bay use filters and might exaggerate the images. That said, we still love the adventure and highly recommend it.
(2) We believe that Kayaking is the best way to explore the Bay. Small power boats can damage the living organisms and wild life and we (locals) will love for it to be protected for generations to come!
