Quick Details
Come join us for a Bioluminescence Paddle in Bellingham Bay! 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 Bellingham Bay 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!
We have made the decision that for the 2022 season we will not run scheduled bioluminescent kayak tours.
The demand on the guide staff, being that we are a very small organization, along with the added safety measures due to late night trips and possible trip cancellations has led us to make this decision.
There is a possibility that we will offer last minute bioluminescent kayak tours when we know the weather will allow for them. If you would like to be added to the contact list for these trips, please reach out to us.
You can expect a total of 3 hours with your guide with almost 2 hours of on water paddling.
