This tour was like stepping into another world! The bioluminescence was incredible — every paddle through the water left a glowing trail, and you could see tiny fish lighting up as they darted around. The clear kayak made it feel like we were floating on a galaxy. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and he made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. I highly recommend going during a new moon for the best experience. This was the highlight of my summer

Unbelievable experience! I went on the bioluminescent tour with a friend, and the glow from the water was mesmerizing. We could see every movement beneath us light up, and even the fish made glowing streaks as they swam by. The clear kayak added so much to the adventure, allowing us to see everything around and under us. It was surreal paddling in the dark with just the glow sticks and bioluminescent light. Our guide gave us some cool facts about the area, making it educational and magical. Definitely a must-do.

Absolutely magical! I was a little nervous about a nighttime kayak tour, but the bioluminescent glow was worth every second. The water looked like it was sparkling with stars, and the clear kayak made the experience so much more immersive. The tour guide was fantastic, explaining the science behind the glow and pointing out wildlife along the way. It felt like something out of a dream, paddling through those glowing waters under a sky full of stars. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
