Bioluminescent Kayak Tour

Experience the wonders of creation by immersing yourself with Cayman Kayaks, leaders in sustainable eco-adventures.

Choose our peaceful kayak ride for a magical night-time experience. Sitting just inches above the water on a double kayak, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to interact with the enchanting glow of bioluminescence—nature’s living lights.

Your nighttime adventure begins with a leisurely paddle along a sheltered coastline. These sit-on-top kayaks are equipped with a solid and comfortable backrests for your journey to the bay’s calm water.  It’s important to be comfortable in the water and capable of swimming. We recommend prior paddling experience—whether kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding—for this tour. For safety, all guests are required to wear a life jacket.

Gaze up and marvel at the star-studded sky—a truly magnificent creation. The narrated stargazing often steals the spotlight. Kayaking provides a serene and eco-friendly way to appreciate nature.

What to Wear:

You will get wet while kayaking! Wear attire you feel comfortable to get wet in! Leave a towel behind in your vehicle for after the tour. 

We provide all the equipment necessary; life vest, safety light, paddle and kayak.

Hair & Body Lotions, Bug Repellents & Deodorants:

Chemicals from hair products, lotions, and bug repellents wash off into the sea, and end up trapped in the Bio Bay harming these microscopic organisms due to the low water exchange. The glowing creatures in the bay thrive because they are naturally trapped, allowing the bioluminescence to flourish. However, introducing pollution into the bay fouls the water and also becomes trapped. Pollutants trapped in the bay take longer periods of time to be washed out or break down and decompose. Please be respectful to the natural phenomenon. The ecosystem here is fragile and requires our careful stewardship!

You may apply bug repellent before the tour, but will not be permitted to bring bug repellents while out on the tour. The biting insects are on the beach at check in and do not follow us out on tour. These pests are more apparent at dusk.

Can We Swim?

You are allowed to swim at your own risk. Our company discourages swimming to prevent fouling the water and the risk of being stung by jellyfish. If you are determined to swim, do not bring bug repellents out on tour and ensure hair products and body lotions are washed off prior to tour departure. Wearing a rash guard and water shoes/socks are good preventatives.

Jellyfish Stings: 

There is a higher risk of being stung by jellyfish if you swim. It may be very uncomfortable when stung depending on the individual and where on their bodies they get stung. This tour is ocean water and so there may be more risks than jellyfish for those who decide to swim. There may be spiny sea urchins, fire sponge, eels, sting rays & poisonous fish. For these reasons, swimming is not encouraged.
