Moments on the Bay

Every journey tells a story. Here are some of our favorites.

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 requirements
What 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.
