Do not go to the early time slot, go as late as possible so it will be darker. They had us put a tarp over our heads to make it darker - gross. We could not paddle around and see the biolumenescent, we had to splash our hands between the attached kayaks. Such great potential but terrible execution by the tour company. Guides were friendly.

The bioluminescence wasn’t very bright, however we were provided with a tarp to be able to see it better. While that was slightly disappointing, the hardest part about this tour was the kayaking itself. It is partner kayaking in complete darkness, so we were not able to steer very well. We were warned about crashing into trees or other kayaks, but because there was no sort of light, we crashed into trees pretty often. Sometimes they would turn on their flashlights to help out which was nice however, because they didn’t keep them on during the trip up the canal to the bay (where you see the bioluminescence) it was very difficult to see where you’re going. The only light source is a dull glow stick on the back of the kayak in front of you. Overall, it was cool to say I have now seen bioluminescence, but improvements could be made to make the journey a little easier.

After reading reviews, this was what we expected, possibly even better. There really isn’t a good way to get a large group, some who have never paddled before, to a place and back very fast, and then in the dark besides. The bioluminescence was great, the information was interesting, and we enjoyed the leaders’ banter. It would be great if they built a changing area for people besides the little bathrooms.
