What you can expect

Experience a blend of tranquility and awe as you witness the bioluminescence of Auckland on a guided kayak tour. Receive a safety briefing, gear, and assistance in kayak launch from your skilled guides. Sit in your personal or tandem kayak as you journey into the water like a close-knit family.

As the sun sets, meet your guide, gather equipment, and learn how to use your gear. As the night grows dark, step into your kayak and begin your adventure. Be led to the best stops to uncover the magic of glowing water. Paddle through the bioluminescent waters, triggering your own marine light show.

Watch as your kayak leaves a glittering wake behind you of luminous plankton under minimal light pollution. Dip your hands in and see the sparkles latch to your hand as you withdraw it from the water. Navigating as a group, capture photos along the way, and finally return to the shore.

After some hugs and high-fives, take off your gear, help put the equipment away, change your clothes, and bid farewell to your guides and group.
