A nighttime river float in North Carolina may sound like a dream, but it's real! This excursion is available at Outer Banks Kayak Adventures in two choices: the Bioluminescence and Full Moon Kayak Tours. Have you ever watched a firefly light up the summer sky? This is a bioluminescent organism. In the ocean — from bacteria to fish — most types of creatures include some bioluminescent members. This kayak tour showcases these glowing life forms in the sea. And if stargazing is your preference, schedule your tour during a full moon. Either way, kayaking at night in North Carolina is unforgettable. Let's see why you should book one of these incredible adventures at OBX.
These kayaks await their drivers for the exciting launch of the Bioluminescence Tour.
This magical journey begins just after sunset wrapping participants in a warm glow.
The start time will change throughout the season, which is mid-May through mid-September, based on weather-related information.
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism.
This evening journey is something you'll want to experience at least once, especially for the wide-open exposure to this extraordinary horizon.
The excitement of the nighttime river float builds as you paddle out.
Be on the lookout for the illuminated animals.
Once it gets completely dark, you’ll be able to see the glowing life in the water.
Another option we love is the Full Moon Kayak Tour which provides a dreamy experience on the water.
If you prefer twinkling stars - this one's for you. Book this tour during a full moon.
