🌅 Sunset Kayak with BIOLUMINESCENCE Potential – Mission Bay 250920
Bioluminescence season is here! We’ve been seeing glowing waters on recent tours, but keep in mind nature is unpredictable, so there’s never a guarantee. When the ocean does light up, it’s unforgettable.

🌊 Whether you’re brand new or a returning paddler, this will be a calm, beautiful night on the water.
ALL AGES are welcome!
We’ll meet at 6:00 PM to get launched in time for the 6:39 PM sunset, then paddle into the night hoping for bioluminescent glow under the new moon. When it appears, the effect is dramatically better by kayak. Dipping your paddle and watching the water ignite around you is a whole different experience than simply viewing distant glowing waves from shore.
The chemical behind this glow is called Luciferin (learn more at National Geographic). It reacts with oxygen to produce light, creating a living sparkle across the bay. Curious about how fickle it can be? Here’s a local guide: Bioluminescence in San Diego – San Diego Explorer.

🧥 What to Wear:
Expect a wet butt — it’s part of the fun! These are open-top kayaks, so getting splashed is all part of the ride. You will be sitting in about 1 inch of water.
I’ll be in swim trunks and a thin long-sleeve sport shirt. If you’re sensitive to cold, consider an extra layer.
Comfort is key!
