Going On A Bioluminescent Kayak Tour

When you are planning activities for a trip, kayak tours can be an exciting and enjoyable activity to include in your schedule. In particular, bioluminescent kayak tours can be especially memorable, but there are some misconceptions that people may have when it comes to this type of enlightening activity.

Assumption: Bioluminescent Kayak Tours Are Only Available During The Summer 

One common assumption that people may have is that bioluminescent tours are only practical during the summer months. Often, this assumption is due to the belief that bioluminescent life is only active during the summer months. In reality, this is a phenomenon that occurs year-round. However, many individuals will prefer to schedule these trips for the summer months as it can get rather chilly being on open water during a cool winter or fall evening.

Assumption: You Will Have To Be Extremely Far From The Shore To Observe Bioluminescent Life

Many individuals may also be under the belief that they will have to be extremely far from shore in order to be able to observe bioluminescence. For some people, this may make them nervous due to the fact that they may not be comfortable with being extremely far from shore. In reality, bioluminescence can be observed relatively close to the shoreline. Fortunately, this is not always the case. In fact, there are many areas where the bioluminescence can be observed relatively close to the shoreline. This can make reaching these areas in kayaks extremely easy, which can be an important consideration for those that have limited kayaking experience.

Assumption: Bioluminescent Kayak Tours Can Be Particularly Dangerous

Due to the fact that these kayak tours will occur at night, there can be some concerns about safety. Yet, bioluminescent kayak tours can still be extremely safe. The tour guide that is leading the tour will be extremely informed about the local area so that they can help those attending the tour safely navigate. Furthermore, those attending will have reflective lifevests and waterproof lights that can make them far more visible. Lastly, these tours will only be performed during times when the weather is calm.

In addition to keeping individuals safe, this can also ensure that the bioluminescence algae, jellyfish, and other life will be the most visible and active. For these reasons, you should always check the forecast when you are scheduling this tour, and you may want to review the process for rescheduling these trips in the event that the weather is bad on the day that you were wanting to go on the tour.
