Highlights
Experience nature’s most enchanting light show with our 2 hour bioluminescence kayak tour. As the sun dips below the horizon, join us for a serene and awe-inspiring evening paddle, where you’ll witness the mesmerising glow of the smallest marine creatures. Glide through tranquil waters under the starlit sky and witness other-worldly bioluminescence up close. Perfect for families, friends, or solo explorers. It's very rare for us not to see at least one type of bioluminescence. In the rare case that bio isn't visible we offer either a 50% refund or a complimentary repeat tour. Suitable for children 11 years+ accompanied by an adult. Please contact Canoe & Kayak directly before booking if you wish to take younger children. Our tour has a ratio of 1 GUIDE TO 6 CUSTOMERS, ensuring safety is the priority and every participant gets outstanding personal service. *Lack of bio must be verified by the guide on the night. See our website for tour FAQs.

- Moonlight Notice: Moonlight affects this tour and how brightly you will see bioluminescence. When the moon is brighter, the glow can be more subtle, but still visible. We recommend booking near a new moon or on nights with later moonrise for the best effect. Please check the Moon Calendar before booking. In November–April, the glow is often strong enough to enjoy on most nights. These popular dates do fill fast, so booking ahead is a good idea.

About Auckland
Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, spreads across an isthmus between two harbours, dotted with volcanic cones, beaches and island-studded bays.
The Sky Tower rises above the central city and the waterfront, where the Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter are lined with restaurants and yachts, fitting Auckland's nickname, the City of Sails. Mount Eden and One Tree Hill, two of the many volcanic cones scattered across the city, give panoramic views.
Top-ranked sights in Auckland: Auckland Harbour Bridge, Waiheke Island, North Head Historic Reserve (Maungauika).
