Bioluminescence Kayak Tour - Est. 1994
Experience nature’s most enchanting light show with our 2 hour bioluminescence kayak tour. As the sun dips below the horizon, join us for a serene and awe-inspiring evening paddle, where you’ll witness the mesmerising glow of the smallest marine creatures. Glide through tranquil waters under the starlit sky and witness other-worldly bioluminescence up close. Perfect for families, friends, or solo explorers. It's very rare for us not to see at least one type of bioluminescence. In the rare case that bio isn't visible we offer either a 50% refund or a complimentary repeat tour. Suitable for children 11 years+ accompanied by an adult. Please contact Canoe & Kayak directly before booking if you wish to take younger children. Our tour has a ratio of 1 GUIDE TO 6 CUSTOMERS, ensuring safety is the priority and every participant gets outstanding personal service. *Lack of bio must be verified by the guide on the night. See our website for tour FAQs.

Important notes

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Please bring a towel, quick-drying clothing, suitable footwear, and a change of clothes for after the tour
  • Kayaking is a wet sport – you should expect to get wet. Wear clothes that can handle splashes
  • All of our tour locations are accessible with Uber/Taxi. Or, use AT Journey Planner if using public transportation.
  • Moonlight Notice: Moonlight affects this tour and how brightly you will see bioluminescence. When the moon is brighter, the glow can be more subtle, but still visible. We recommend booking near a new moon or on nights with later moonrise for the best effect. Please check the Moon Calendar before booking. In November–April, the glow is often strong enough to enjoy on most nights. These popular dates do fill fast, so booking ahead is a good idea.
