Bioluminescence Paddles
Duration: 3 Hours
Experience the Wonder of Bioluminescence at Night!
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. But experiencing it is so much more! It’s pure imagination! It is found throughout marine habitats, and lucky for us, can be found locally in Bellingham Bay from June-September. Our Bioluminescence Paddles often sell out, so reserve your space soon!

The bioluminescence moonlight kayak was magical!
I did the evening bioluminescence kayak guided tour and highly recommend the guide Christine. I was scared to go and she assured me it would be ok which it was. I had confidence in her to keep me safe so I could relax and enjoy the trip. I couldn't paddle much and she gladly did most of it. She was a delight to talk to and did her job extremely well. Thank you Christine!
