Book Online NowExperience a Belize Bioluminescence Tour at Anderson Lagoon
Our Belize bioluminescence tour from Hopkins offers a magical nighttime adventure along the Sittee River and into Anderson Lagoon. Surrounded by darkness, stars and the quiet sounds of nature, you will experience one of Belize’s most fascinating natural wonders.
The evening begins with a guided boat ride along the Sittee River as the last light disappears. Keep watch for crocodiles, birds and other wildlife while your guide shares information about the river and its surrounding ecosystem.
As the boat enters Anderson Lagoon, the real magic begins. Movement in the water can cause tiny bioluminescent organisms to glow, creating brilliant blue trails behind the boat. Fish swimming beneath the surface may leave sparkling paths, while every splash can light up the dark water.
When conditions allow, guests may also choose to swim in the lagoon and watch the water glow around them. Swimming is completely optional, and the experience is just as beautiful from the boat.
This tour is seasonal, usually available from mid December through May, and departures are scheduled around the moon phase and local conditions. Space is limited during the season, so advance reservations are strongly recommended.
