Magical!
An exciting experience because I‘d never been kayaking at night. Seeing the blue flashes of bioluminescence while paddling was magical!

Awesome activity
A group of 4 of us attended one evening and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was a beautiful, calm evening and the bioluminescence totally came to the party, as did the moon! It was a magical experience overall, only made better by our wonderful guides who were helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this activity to anyone.

Bioluminescence Kayak - A must Do
We took the 7:15pm tour out of Waiake Beach, eight of us all up. A warm night with only a few clouds. Chris has been doing this for a long time and knew his stuff. Great star identification and their use for navigation. Great knowledge on the Bioluminescence and its makeup. The bioluminescence was patchy and awesome to be up close to it and dip your hand in and see it sparkle. An awesome way to relax and spend the warm evening. Cheers
