Choose between two remarkable options for your tour: witness the stunning setting sun on our 8pm tour or paddle under the mesmerizing starry sky during our 10pm tour. With every stroke of your paddle, you'll activate the bioluminescence, causing the ocean to illuminate in a truly breathtaking display.
