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.

Conditions permitting we do allow you to jump off your kayak and go swimming. We do advise you bring a towel and a change of clothes to leave in your car for after the tour. Even if you don’t plan on swimming there is always a chance of getting wet!

We do not offer tandems however we do offer a Tag Along System, that allows you to tether to anyone in your party.The tag Along allows you the freedom to practice your paddling skills while feeling safe that you're not going to float away. Each paddler is still able to experience the freedom of interacting with the bioluminescence

Every Guide is also equipped with a tow line for any instance where you may need extra assistance. Your safety is our number one priority. If for any reason you feel uncomfortable or nervous let your guide know! We are here for you and can provide additional instruction or accommodation to ensure you have the best time on the water!
