About

Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon wherein living organisms emitting light, and several species are on display year round in Salt River Bay: Dinoflagellates (single-cell plankton), ctenaphores (AKA comb jellies), Bermuda Fireworms to name a few.

On this tour, we kayak 1km east to Bio Bay to observe the "super glow" Dinoflagellate habitat. You will also explore other nearby spots searching for other bioluminescent species. Along the way, your guide will fill you in on all the local ecology, history, and spiritual mysteries of Salt River.

In order to observe these creatures we need complete darkness without any interference from moonlight. So our calendar is dictated by the moon cycle, with the waning phase being the most ideal because the moon rise occurs well after sunset. Nights with small waxing crescents (🌙<20%) are also viable.
