Upon arrival at the bay, guests enter the water by kayak and begin the guided bioluminescent tour. You will spend approximately 55 minutes kayaking on the water, where every paddle stroke lights up the bay with glowing bioluminescence. Guides share information about the ecosystem, the microorganisms that create the glow, and the natural history of Mosquito Bay while allowing plenty of time to enjoy the magical surroundings.
After the kayaking portion, guests return to shore and are transported back to the meeting point, completing the experience.
