Moondance in the Spotlight: Bioluminescent Kayaking Featured in The Seattle Times

We’re thrilled to share that Moondance Sea Kayak Adventures was recently featured in The Seattle Times! Their latest article, “What it’s like to go bioluminescent kayaking in the Salish Sea”, highlights the magic of paddling under a starry sky, surrounded by the glowing waters of the Pacific Northwest.

The piece captures the wonder that draws so many to our bioluminescent kayaking tours—where every stroke of the paddle sets the water alight with tiny sparks of living light. It’s an experience that never fails to leave our guests in awe, and we’re honored to have it showcased in such a respected publication.

A Shimmering Natural Phenomenon

Bioluminescence is one of nature’s most enchanting displays, caused by microscopic plankton that emit light when disturbed. While the phenomenon occurs worldwide, the protected waters of the Salish Sea provide a uniquely breathtaking setting. On our summer night paddles, we venture into the dark, guided only by the moon and the faint shimmer of the sea. Then, as our paddles dip into the water, the ocean itself begins to glow—a reminder of how alive and interconnected our world truly is.

Experience It for Yourself

If you’ve ever dreamed of kayaking through a sea of stars, now is the time. Our bioluminescent tours run through the summer and offer an unforgettable way to connect with the marine world. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or a first-time kayaker, we’d love to share this magical experience with you.

A huge thank you to The Seattle Times for shining a light on the beauty of bioluminescent kayaking. Check out the full article here, and we hope to see you on the water soon!
