FAQs
Can you always see the bioluminescence?
The bioluminescence is always there but it depends on the intensity and congregation of the plankton if the glow is bright or not. Taking a tour at the high times to see it, will make it more likely to see the glow but it varies day to day and is not guaranteed to be bright.
When is the best time to see the bioluminescence?
The bioluminescent intensity depends on weather conditions such as rain, tide, moon phase, sunlight and many other natural factors out of our control. Ideally, the best time to visit is around the new moon and during the dry months, December to March with a midsummer dry season June to July.
Is there storage available?
In case you want to leave any article, you can leave it at the registration table. Anything you bring on the water has the potential to get wet, damaged, or lost.
Do you still take out trips if it is raining?
If it is a heavy rain we may offer you the option of rescheduling or canceling without being charged. If there is lightning close by we will cancel the trip but you should always assume the trip is going out and show up for your trip unless we have said otherwise. The rain and/or lightning may be moving away quickly and may only make for a short delay in our departure time even if it looks bad at the moment.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Participants must be able to swim on their own in the rare case of capsizing. The tour does not have any lifeguards.
Can I walk barefoot on the beach?
For safety reasons, please do not walk barefoot on the beach.
Are there any restrictions regarding alcohol or drugs?
Anyone visibly under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be allowed to participate and will still be charged.
What type of kayaks are used?
The tour uses two-person double kayaks for a shared paddling experience. Groups with an odd number of participants will pair up with someone from another group to accommodate the uneven numbers.
What affects the bioluminescent intensity?
The bioluminescent intensity depends on weather conditions such as rain, tide, moon phase, sunlight and many other natural factors that are not in our control.
Where can I learn more about bioluminescence?
Check out our blog describing bioluminescence more in depth at Bioluminescence Kayaking!
How hard is it to kayak in the Bio Bay?
This is a beginner friendly kayaking spot! The lagoon and mangrove tunnels are very calm and a great place to try kayaking for the first time.
