Discover the Magic of Ostracods Aboard the Aquaspace
Experience a mesmerizing 2.5-hour evening tour, departing 45 minutes before sunset. Step aboard our historic vessel, once used by the legendary Jacques Cousteau, and prepare for a breathtaking natural light show. As we sail to a secluded spot, enjoy a relaxing drink and a small snack while the sun sets over Bonaire. Once anchored, watch as the ostracods begin their magical ritual—tiny marine creatures emitting a beautiful blue glow, creating the illusion of a starry night beneath the sea. From the comfort of our boat, you’ll have a front-row seat to this rare phenomenon. Keep an eye out for tarpons gliding through the illuminated waters, and on our way back, witness the enchanting bioluminescence trailing behind us. Join us for an unforgettable evening of relaxation and natural wonder!
