Nighttime Bioluminescence Kayak Experience

Join us for a truly memorable experience—a nighttime, on-the-water kayak exploration of Puget Sound bioluminescence. As you paddle away from shore and venture farther out into the dark, you’ll experience Mother Nature’s own light show of sparkles in the water beneath you with stars twinkling above. That’s right, there’s sea life—both plant and animal—that emits its own light! It’s called bioluminescence. We’ll use our kayaks, paddles and even hands to get you as close as possible with this incredible phenomena. We don’t go far because there’s so much to see close to shore in intertidal waters; more of a float than a paddle. For a more vigorous physical workout or if distance is your thing, consider a daytime tour instead. But for a vibrant visual experience, don’t miss our bioluminescence experience. We offer these only a few times during the summer when there’s a new moon and the skies are darkest for best viewing.
