Overview

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.

With over a 95% chance of spotting bioluminescence, our tour promises an experience you won’t forget! If you happen to be unlucky and don’t see bioluminescence, we offer a complimentary repeat trip*.

Suitable for children 11 years+ but must be accompanied by an adult. Younger children are welcome but please contact Canoe & Kayak directly before booking.

Our tour has a very low guide ratio of 1 GUIDE TO 6 CUSTOMERS, this ensures safety is the priority and every participant gets outstanding personal service.

*Lack of bioluminescence must be verified by the guide on the night.
