What Makes Chiliboats Unique Chiliboats are catamaran-style waterbikes, designed for comfort, stability, and easy pedaling. Thanks to our human anatomy, pedaling becomes natural and easy, using your legs at all times.

Important Information

In the Caribbean, brief showers are common, but tours proceed as scheduled. The decision to cancel or continue will be made at the meeting point based on the route leader’s experience. You must present the ID and credit card used for the reservation. Both must match for verification. The person making the reservation is responsible for informing everyone about arrival time and requirements. Dark nights are optimal for viewing! The closer it is to the New Moon phase, the more intense the bioluminescence will be. You can check our reservation calendar and select your preferred day. Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon, so we cannot guarantee the intensity of your experience. However, we strive to set accurate expectations for our guests. The intensity of bioluminescence depends on various climatic factors such as sediment carried by rain, tides, moon phases, sunlight, and other natural elements beyond our control.
