It’s a neat experience and we’re glad to have shared it with our kids. But we kayaked to the bay 10 years ago and it was much more magical then. Today, it is heavily commercialized. There were many tours going on at the same time, including 2 motorized boats that passed us. Some of the guides lit bright lights, too, and between that and the heavy traffic, it really wasn’t so magical. The guides were energetic, but didn’t take much time to teach newbies how to properly paddle. It felt rushed, but I was glad the guides at least had tarps to help make the bay darker around us to better see the plankton. It’s worth seeing, but definitely expect a long drive to it and a lot of people!
