I had the pleasure of embarking on a Bioluminescence kayaking tour over the weekend and it exceeded my expectations! Wonderful guides and incredibly informative and up-to-date on the history and science of the bioluminescence! (Review 2023)
Over 15 years ago we started leading guests during the nighttime to witness the beauty of bioluminecence. In the heart of the San Juan Islands, our home-base, we created the first dedicated Bioluminescence Kayak Tour in the islands. Over the course of these 15 years, we have perfected the process and developed safety protocols to ensure everyone feels comfortable exploring on this unique nocturnal adventure.
All of our guides have undergone rigorous kayak training, conducted by our in-house American Canoe Association kayak instructor. Further, guides have a Washington State Kayak Guide License. We are professionally prepared, meticulously organized, and extremely enthusiastic to have you along on our Bioluminescence Kayak Tour.
Dates are limited each month of the summer to ensure we paddle at times when the moon phase is either small or absent. This creates the darkest nights where the bioluminescence will sparkle with its anticipated intensity. The dates are selected to provide you with the best experience possible.
