this tour was so cool! our guide Matt was amazing. He was very knowledgable concerning the science behind the experience. It was a bit cold out there on the water in the dark in Feb but, we still had a blast!! would for sure recommend

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

This is wonderful tour! Having the experience of catching the moon jellyfish and getting to hold them was incredibly interesting and special. The jumping fish were really neat. Our tour guide, Aidan, was very informative and helpful. He told us so much about everything we were seeing and about the area that I was truly impressed. Also, he is extremely protective of the people taking the tour so you know that you are in great hands. I had never kayaked before so I was very nervous and afraid that I would fall in the water, but Aidan did such a great job of explaining exactly what to do that I felt like an expert before I even ventured out on the water. I definitely recommend this tour and if you take it make sure to get Aidan as your guide!!!

Was a great relaxing float trip... not much tonight in the way of bioluminescent creatures but did see a jellyfish glow. Caleb was fantastic, pointing out the habits and features of the wildlife in the area. Apparently, the best time to see the bioluminescent creatures is later in the spring, and summer on the water is warmer. But no regrets- very calm and relaxing!

The tour communicated well, and the guides were professional and friendly. However, the time of year (mid-late December) was bad for bioluminescence, and they didn’t have enough nets for all.l the boats to really get the full experience. The location they picked had a lot of local light pollution, so it wasn’t great either for seeing any bioluminescent creatures. Probably would recommend a different experience or time of year. Basically kayaking with a sprinkle of bioluminescence.
