Good to Know
Before You
Set Sail
Everything you need to know before your evening on the bay. Have another question? We're always happy to help.
Do I need to paddle myself?
No — every canoe comes with a personal paddler who does the work while you relax, take photos, and soak in the scenery. You’re welcome to paddle if you’d like.
When can I see the bioluminescent plankton?
The glowing plankton is best seen on dark nights, away from city lights. Our route and timing are designed around the darkest waters of the bay — visibility varies with moon phase and conditions.
Is the tour suitable for children and non-swimmers?
Please check our participation requirements before booking. Age, swimming ability and health conditions can affect eligibility. Our team can advise on your group; life jackets and a personal paddler are provided.
Read participation requirementsWhat should I bring?
Swimwear or light clothes, a change of dry clothes, sunscreen, and a hat. We provide dry bags for your phone and valuables, plus towels, water, and all safety equipment.
