Description

Bioluminescence is like Pandora of “Avatar” and scenes in “Life of Pi” Escape with us to the most pure and otherworldly experience that natural New Zealand has to offer. See the plankton glow in the dark from your first paddle stroke on the bioluminescent kayak tour. As the night grows dark, step into your very comfortable kayak and get ready for a personal encounter with this remarkable phenomenon. Our professional guide will lead you to the best spots where the glowing algae accumulates. You will be enchanted by how every stroke of your paddles leaves behind a glowing swirl of bluish light, and fish light up their path like shooting stars in the water.
