We will show you the most intimate light show of the Maldives

Its organizers are the plankton Noctiluca scintillans, which translates to "night flash" 

This phenomenon—bioluminescence—is their ancient language, a means of defense, and a dance.
Every movement in the water causes the tiny cells to emit a cold blue-green light, as if someone scattered the Milky Way galaxy beneath the surface.

To become a spectator, special conditions are needed: a moonless night, warm water, and complete darkness, far from the lights of civilization.
And a journey with MCC!

This experience cannot be described in words. It can only be lived.

Seasonality:
Peak season: June–February! Special activity in the evening from 8 to 11 PM.
The sea is calm, the sky is clear, the nights are moonless—exceptionally dark.
Noctiluca scintillans plankton actively reproduces under these ideal conditions. The chance to witness intense, bright luminescence, where every splash is like a flash, is at its maximum.

Ready to fly and see the sea glowing like a starry sky?
