About This Trip
- Our bioluminescent tours are given in our amazing clear kayaks! We only bring groups of 10 people out on the water at a time so be ready for an awesome personalized experience with our top notch guides.
- Each of our kayaks are tandem, so bring a paddle partner! If you are solo or in an odd-numbered group, our guide will offer to paddle with you, or you may take a boat by yourself. However, our weight limit is 425 pounds per kayak, and no more than 250 pounds per seat.
- Safety is our priority. Each guest will be required to wear life jackets. We will provide a glow stick for additional safety.
Choosing The Right Night
- The darkest nights are the best for viewing! We recommend a night with 55% moon phase or less for the best possible viewing experience on the water.
- Season is typically May-October but peak season is July/August. The warmer the weather, the better!
