Meeting/Redemption Point

    • Playa Mismaloya Jal MX, Paseo del Río S/N, Mismaloya, 48294 Mismaloya, Jal., Mexico | As you drive downhill into Mismaloya, there will be a large resort called Hotel Barceló to your right. Take the first right turn just beyond the big Hotel Barceló sign before the river. Follow this road, which runs alongside the river and the south edge of the resort. It will lead you down to the beach. If you're driving your own vehicle, this is where you will find street parking. If you're in a car hire or taxi, ask your driver to drop you off at Mismaloya Beach (Playa Mismaloya). Once you're on the beach facing the ocean, you will walk down the shoreline all the way to the left (south). Depending on the season, you may decide to cross the mouth of the river either by way of the footbridge (found about 50 meters before the shore break), walking along the shoreline, or wading through the mouth of the river. Walk to the far southern end of the beach, where are found between two massage parlors. You will see a flag above our shop with our logo.

What you can expect

Your tour guide will welcome you 30-minutes before your scheduled departure at our shop in Mismaloya. Once you arrive, we will gear up for a brief paddle from Mismaloya Beach to the neighbouring islands of Los Arcos National Marine Park. Either along the way or once in Los Arcos, we will experience the magic of the bioluminescence algae. And, from there, you will spend some time exploring the caves and grottos of the area while receiving historical and biological information from your guide. You will get an opportunity to experience the park before or after the business of the daytime crowds, and have a chance to swim or snorkel—if you choose.

Our Bioluminescence experience lasts for about three hours and logs a total distance of about 2-3 nautical miles.
