It’s not just kayaking; it’s like floating through a sea of stars.

What is Bioluminescence?

Bioluminescence is the natural light emitted by certain types of plankton found in the Andaman Sea.
When disturbed by the motion of a kayak or paddle, these microorganisms glow, creating a magical underwater illumination.

It’s a rare and unforgettable experience!
