It comes down to preference. No Moon Cycle is worse than the other, however each cycle provides a different experience.
FULL MOON NIGHTS. You can still see the Dinoflagellates glow, but the moonlight allows better visibility to the overall surroundings. You may see a nesting Herron, the outline of a sleeping manatee, or our crowd favorite the Bottle Nose Dolphins. There is a feeling that elevates, yet grounds you, as you are guided by the gentle light of the moon on a warm summer night, filled with the fresh scent of the ocean all around you.
NEW MOON NIGHTS. The nights on and surrounding the New Moon tend to book up in advance and usually sell out. New Moons provide the darkest sky and allow you to really see the Glow. On nights when the dinoflagellates glow exceptionally bright, you can see microorganisms that wouldn’t show up to the naked eye. All in all you can not go wrong going on any phase of the moon cycle.

8PM will allow you to see the last part of the sunset, as we launch you will paddle out into the sunset. Watch as the various wildlife gets ready for the night and as darkness falls you will see the lagoon come to life. This is the best option if anyone in your group has any nervous feelings about going out at night.
10PM is a great option for those wanting to jump right in. We launch into the lagoon fully under the cover of darkness. As soon as you hit the water you will be see the glow all around you.
MIDNIGHT. By this time many of the locals, and other tours have already packed up and gone home. This provides you with a more intimate experience on the lagoon. Often, we have smaller groups on this excursion. The lagoon after midnight provides a quiet sanctuary for you to unwind, relax, and connect with nature around you.
