Glide through dark waters and witness the entrancing glow of bioluminescent organisms on a kayak tour in Auckland. Embark on this adventure to celebrate nature's luminous beauty.
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.
