About this activity

Join this fully-guided nighttime bioluminescent bay kayak adventure. Paddle your way through the mystical mangrove channels, a 30 minutes approximate journey (each way) that will lead you to Laguna Grande. Once inside the lagoon meet some glowing new friends, the Pyrodinium Bahamense, microscopic plankton capable of producing natural light at the touch of your hand. Explore these amazing organisms up close as the professional eco-guide takes you to discover all its secrets. Learn how this fragile and unique ecosystem maintains a perfect balance of life, and what you can do to protect such a special place.

Awesome experience

The tour was more than we expected, it’s definitely an amazing experience with an awesome view of the sunset once you arrive to Laguna Grande. We’re very thankful for our tour guides: Manolo, Gabriel, Omar and also Christian.

Spectacular Bioluminescence Kayak Show

Fantastic kayak trip. Although my wife and I are avid kayakers and the tour was a bit pedestrian, we enjoyed the bioluminescence.

Beautiful bioluminescent bay

This was a great experience and the guides were knowledgeable and personable. The trip through the winding tree covered lagoon was just as magnificent as being in the middle of the bay

Excellent

Great trip. Very helpful and informative. Even supplied tarps to make sure we saw the bio fluorescent even when it was 2 days after a full moon.
