Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

Overview

In the warm and dark lagoon waters lies a natural phenomenon of glowing blue waters alive with activity. The swirling of your hand, every paddle stroke, and the rolling wake off of your kayak all sparkle throughout the darkness. Not only do fish leave trails, dolphins look like torpedoes, and manatees a slow and graceful submarine. Many guests compare the experience to Pandora of “Avatar.” Some even recall the bioluminescence scene in “Life of Pi” as the gentle plankton leave a trickling glow when you hold it in your hands and let it trickle down your arm. Though some may jokingly blame this on NASA runoff, it is actually the biological response of microscopic algae called a dinoflagellate. The perfectly natural and harmless concentration of organisms produces light before your very eyes, often existing in millions per liter of water. Your tour will include a ton of information about these rare and exotic creatures with the most experienced guides in the area

Great experience overall. Guides were friendly and bioluminescence tour was amazing. We were told to arrive at 815 pm, for a 830 pm tour, which we did. Things seemed a bit unorganized and we didn't actually end up leaving until after 9 pm, which was kind of discouraging to start off the trip. Once we got out on the water we quickly forgot about it and enjoyed the rest of the trip. We got to experience both the Comb Jelly and the Dino Bioluminescence, which was pretty awesome. We learned that going later in the summer is the best time for the Dino Bioluminescence but it was still an amazing sight to see. The guides provided nets to catch the comb jellys and instruction along the way to experience the most I booked this trip for my husband and myself and we will definitely be back with family and friends.

I can not say enough of this experience. Spent the night going after the dinoflagellate. An experience to stay forever in our hearts. An incredible biodiversity in the lake. My children absolutely loved it! We will do it all over again. A beautiful
