Sunset 'Til Dark Bioluminescence Tour

Sunset 'Til Dark Bioluminescence Tour

Presented by Catch a Canoe & Bicycles, Too! at Stanford Inn by the Sea

Our Bioluminescence Tour is dependent on noctiluca scintillans, a millimeter wide dinoflagellate that hitches a ride up big river on the incoming tide. When the conditions are good, this plankton is present in great numbers and releases a green flash when disturbed. This disturbance comes from your paddle strokes and the motion of the 9 person outrigger through the water. When it’s good, it’s great. Sometimes the conditions just aren’t right and all is dim… Take a chance, and you’ll hit a good night in the summer about 90% of the time. A very special and memorable tour- book early though, because this one sells out. Cost is $65 per person.

Organic cookie and apple cider served at the midway point.
