What you can expect

  • Hop aboard a kayak with local guides for an exhilarating night paddle in Auckland. Launch your kayak, then marvel at the wonders of nature as you witness the phenomenon of bioluminescence.

    Treat yourself to a relaxing evening on a kayak, witnessing Auckland's authentic glowing nature. Get kitted out with all the gear you need and then paddle off into the evening with your personalised 1-6 ratio (guide-guests) group to witness the sea lights.

    As the sun dips below the horizon, join a serene and awe-inspiring evening paddle, where you’ll witness the mesmerising glow of the smallest marine creatures. Glide through tranquil waters under the starlit sky and witness the other-worldly brilliance of bioluminescence up close.

    Enjoy a peaceful two-hour tour as you discover the glow of bioluminescent organisms in their natural habitat. While bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed, the tour operates during peak season and carefully plans each trip around the best conditions. It is very rare not to see at least one type of bioluminescence.

    In the rare case that bioluminescence isn't visible during your tour (as verified by your guide on the night), receive either a 50% refund or a complimentary repeat tour.
