Quick Details
Join Us For a Nightly bioluminescent Kayaking Adventure in Bellingham Bay!
Come join us for a Bioluminescence Paddle at Larrabee State Park! Our Bioluminescence trips are scheduled around new moon phases as the less light on the outside world provides a better opportunity for us to see these glowing dinoflagellates in the water. You will learn about the wonders of Bioluminescence while having the opportunity to paddle at night. All trips include a guided instruction and are great for beginners and experienced paddlers alike! All guests will be in stable fiberglass northwest made TANDEM sea kayaks. While we do our best to schedule these tours at the most optimal times of the month to see bioluminescence, we can’t guarantee the bioluminescence will be the brightest you have ever seen on any given night. We can however say that traveling in kayaks by night is a truly unique adventure. If you have an open mind and adventurous attitude this tour is for you!
Please Note:
Our bioluminescence tours are very limited, as they are only scheduled near and around the new moon phase. They fill up quickly so be sure to book your adventure before they sell out!
