No glowing marine life but still fun
Devin_S, Jul 2025
The staff was amazing. They really did a great job with safety and explaining everything. I can’t overstate that enough. They really did a great job. But there was no glowing marine life. I would’ve liked to have been warned when I booked the trip. It’s a lot of work and not cheap. And it’s really disappointing to come all this way not to see anything. I know they can’t control that, but it should’ve been ok big bold letters on the website. May not see anything. That being said the kayaking was still an incredible experience. Just a better heads up would’ve been helpful as far as our expectations.
Missed due to weather
Rena_R, Jul 2025
Unfortunately it was canceled because of bad weather, but the team was friendly and professional. The immediately apologized and offered either a refund or to reschedule.
Don’t do it
Talie_S, Jul 2025
Skip this one. The kayak village smelled awful, there was zero bioluminescence to be seen, and it felt more like bumper boats in the dark than a magical experience. We spent most of the time blindly paddling, getting whacked by branches, and eaten alive by mosquitoes. Not worth the time or money.
Too crowded and smelled awful
Brett_T, Jul 2025
It was VERY crowded. There were 28 in our group and at least 3, if not 4, other groups there. They were not coordinated as well as they could have been. To add to the semi organized chaos, the bay where you meet SMELLED awful. It may have revived all of the negatives if there was some bioluminescent to be seen hiding under a dirty old tarp that 3 kayaks put over our heads to make it darker, but the vmgeneral consensus was that there was maybe a slight flicker, vut nothing breath taking as expected. My biggest fuss was wirh the smell and lack of coordination. I understand the environment cannot be controlled. However, there ate probably better spots without as much light pollution to view this. For reference, we went out the day after a new room, so moonlight wasn't the inhibitor. The guides were nice and did the best work what they had to work with, bug there is some high level restructuring needed to make this a more pleasant experience. The best part was the ride there with Angel - he oozed positivity
