Important note about the glow
Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon, and brightness can vary. Conditions like moonlight, rainfall, wind, and water clarity affect how visible the glow is. We do not control the brightness or the conditions.
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:
• Maximum weight per passenger is 220lbs.
• Children must share a kayak with an adult from their own party. For safety reasons, we do not pair children with strangers.
• Refunds will not be issued onsite for guest who do not meet these safety requirements.
Reviews request:
When leaving a review, please rate the experience based on our service, safety briefing, guidance, and overall tour quality, rather than the brightness of the bay, since glow intensity is outside of our control.
