Overview

An evening of magic!

Our bioluminescence kayak tour is peaceful, breathtaking, and somewhat other-worldly! Come on an adventure with us to discover bioluminescence up close and personal! Enjoy a most wonderful 1.5-hour tour with friends or family or come along yourself, our friendly guides will make you feel comfortable and ensure you have a magical evening out on the water. We have a ratio of 1 guide for every 6 customers to ensure your maximum safety at all times.

Bioluminescence occurs through a chemical reaction that produces light energy within an organism’s body. For a reaction to occur, a species must contain luciferin, a molecule that when it reacts with oxygen, produces light. Bioluminescence is found in many marine organisms: bacteria, plankton, algae, jellyfish, worms, crustaceans, sea stars, fish, and sharks to name just a few.

We have a 95+ percent chance of seeing bioluminescence on every trip.

Thank you so much 😊 It was very unique experience. The sky full of stars and the ocean full of sparks ⚡️ I ve never seen this beautiful things in my life Specials thanks to our guide, Sam, he was very helpful. I came with jeans, which is not allowed, and he gave me some extra clothes to put on, so I can change 🙏

spent the evening kayaking and looking for luminescence. We had perfect weather but plan to get wet as it is a wet entry. 3 doubles per instructor so you have plenty of personal time with your knowledgeable guide. they supply the boats, vest and waterproof jackets which was much appreciated. How much luminescence you see is totally dependent on nature but the guides know their territory so you're bound to see some (though it's not overwhelming so if you've done this before it's probably not worth doing again). We had a great time. Took an uber to/from the beach area which was $40 NZ from the tower/casino area.

From start to finish this was the best experience I’ve done in a long time. The guides Ian and Josh were awesome. They were very knowledgeable and made the experience fun, relaxing but always ensuring safety out on the water. Seeing the bioluminescence was quite surreal. I would highly recommend and will definitely book again.

This was such a fun experience. You don’t need to be an avid kayaker to enjoy this activity. Our tour guides were wonderful. Plus this was easily accessible on the train if you’re coming from Auckland city! 10/10 experience

Greatly exceeded expectations! Tour was awesome, gear provided, they kept our things in their vehicle while we paddled. The site was easy to get to and from via uber. The paddle was amazing and we saw a TON of bioluminessance! Truly an incredible experience. I'd recommend to anyone 100% Oh, and the water was warm!
