Amazing experience

We took the 7:45 PM bioluminescence kayaking trip, and it was absolutely fantastic! Although the bioluminescence wasn't at its peak, we still saw a fair amount, and it was mesmerizing. We understand it's a natural phenomenon, so seeing it in any capacity was magical. Our guide was great—super knowledgeable and made the entire trip informative and fun. The peacefulness of being on the water at night combined with the beautiful scenery made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this trip to anyone, even if the bioluminescence isn't guaranteed to be in full effect
