LIMITED SPOTS! Bioluminescence on Monterey, a magical phenomenon produced by tiny, single-celled organisms that emit flashes of light when agitated or disturbed. But wait there is more! If you act now we will throw in the years best METEOR SHOWER!!! Known for the biggest number of bright fireballs produced AND the peak weekend for The Perseids meteor shower!
 
Basic Details:

 

Bioluminescence Kayaking Tour & Meteor Shower!

A magic night of kayaking in neon blue water! You asked for it - so we organized kayaking with the bioluminescent "dinoflagellates"... the name of the creatures that light up the water at night.  

 

 

 

This tour will bring us up close and personal to the Bioluminescence on Monterey Bay! This is a magical phenomenon produced by tiny, single-celled organisms that emit flashes of light when agitated or disturbed, like by a kayak paddle. In high concentrations, with many glimmering at once, they make the water sparkle and glow! 

 

- PLUS, THE BEST METEOR SHOWER OF THE YEAR -

The Perseids Meteor Shower peaks this weekend - known for it's intense numbers of very bright shooting stars -  from 50 to 100 meteors per hour. This is sure to be the most amazing sky water combo in years!

 

 
**We will ONLY DO THIS EVENT IF THERE IS ACTIVE BIOLUMINESCENCE in the water!** 
This is very popular, and we only do this event certain times of the year when the elements are just right.
Please note: about 10% of the time we are forced to reschedule this event last minute, for the very simple reason of there being no bioluminescence... conditions must be good for it (No wind, big swell, storms, etc)... if it is rescheduled, you can choose to take the new date or get a full event credit.
 

 

What to expect:

We will be meeting at a local's favorite seafood spot for a quick drink and bite to eat while we wait for everyone to arrive. 

We will head next door to the harbor for a quick orientation and water safety discussion. A professional will explain and demonstrate basic paddling techniques and security measures - there is no need to be nervous. No previous kayaking experience is necessary. NO EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED for this fully guided kayak adventureAdd yourself to the watch list or register for PRO TIPS and recommendations on attire.

Image result for bioluminescence kayaking free imageRecommended Clothing: A synthetic shirt paired with a fleece jacket or vest is best. Fleece and synthetics wick the moisture away from your body and keep you warm even when wet. Wool is also a great warmth layer. NO COTTON!  Also remember to bring a change of clothes for afterwards. You may also want to have a towel in your car just in case you get a bit wet or dirty.

 

 

 

PRICE NOTE  This event is more expensive $$ than most. The provider charges us a lot (because it is a competitive business in the bay area, and they can), and we have to book many months in advance and pay for a host spot also. The members have given it rave reviews in the past, so we keep doing it.  

IF THIS IS FULL:  Please add it to your watch list, and post a comment about wanting to go, we will try to arrange something if we can.
