Bucket list item…✅…We went “bioluminescencing”~what an incredible experience ✨🪼✨ If you’re looking for a truly magical experience, this kayak adventure is absolutely unforgettable! Our guide was amazing—knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole trip feel both safe and exciting. Paddling through the calm water at night was already beautiful, but the moment we saw the bioluminescence, it felt like stepping into another world. Every stroke of the paddle lit up the water with glowing trails, and even the fish darting below us left sparkling streaks of light. Our guide Nate , with A Paddle in Paradise, added so much to the adventure, sharing fascinating facts about the ecosystem and making sure everyone felt comfortable, no matter their skill level. The wonder of seeing nature’s own “light show” made it an experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a mix of adventure, fun, and pure awe. 🌌💙✨🪼✨

Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of nature's light show and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

It was a really cool experience, and I was like, “Oh, no way! I want to see it.” Everything went nicely and smoothly, except perhaps the communication via texts and calls — but it’s a “one-man show,” so I can’t complain about that. Since it’s individual communication and not an automated reply, and most importantly, Nate shared all the important information clearly and on time. I’d be happy to use his service again when I’m back there.

Thank you so much for the kind words — I’m really glad you had a great time out there! And yeah, I’ll admit I can be a little slow on the response time occasionally, especially when we get really busy in peak season. Running a fully owner-operated business means I’m wearing all the hats — guide, scheduler, tech support, bug spray supplier, you name it — but I’m always aiming to keep the experience personal, not automated. We’ve had a few hiccups recently with some Groupon bookings that slowed down communication across the board, so I really appreciate your patience and understanding. It means a lot that you not only noticed but valued the personal touch — especially in a space that’s quickly becoming more corporate and cookie-cutter. Staying small and hands-on is a core part of what I do, and I’m so grateful for guests like you who appreciate it. Hope to see you again next time you're in town — thanks again for being awesome, it was such a a blast having you out on the water! — Nate

We had an amazing time with Nate! He was so considerate and accommodating. Will definitely be back during the jellyfish season. He knew all the best spots to see the most Bioluminescent Algae. Would recommend a tour with him 100%! Thank you so much for taking our pictures at the end. We'll definitely be back!

Thank you, Mabel! I’m so glad you had a great time — you two were awesome out there! 🙌 The bio was definitely showing off that night, and I always try to sneak in a few of my favorite spots to make the most of it. Can’t wait to have you back during jelly season — it’s a totally different kind of magic. And I’m happy the photos were a hit! Thanks again for the kind words and for choosing to paddle with me — see you next time! — Nate

Thank you so much, Doris! That seriously made my day. I try to keep things chill but meaningful out there — nature speaks for itself, I’m just lucky enough to help show it off! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and the vibe. And hey, shoutout for noticing the prices — I work hard to keep it accessible without cutting corners on the experience. Hope to see you again next time you're in the area! — Nate
