We offer unique seasonal tours such as Bioluminescence Kayaking Tours, Full Moon & Meteor Shower Cruises and Paddles!
These specialized tours can only be done on certain dates and times of the year due to the seasonal, environmental or astronomical factors involved.
We are very knowledgeable about the environment and astronomy so we pay close attention to the celestial calendar that tells us when really cool events will occur such as full moons, meteor showers, planetary alignments, eclipses, etc. The tides and weather here on earth play a big factor on when we can provide these specialized tours as well.
