Bioluminescence Tour
Experience the magic of Bioluminescence!
Swim in the glowing waters of the Bio Bay…
While you’re on a kayak tour, one of the most magical experiences you can have is seeing the glow of Bioluminescence. In a marine environment, many living organisms have the capability to emit light for survival and reproduction. There are 3 varieties of bioluminescent creatures that live nearshore in Caribbean waters, and are commonly seen. In the right conditions, locals and tourists alike can be graced with the chance to see the water light up, producing a unique and memorable visual experience. 
The skilled guides at the Sweet Spot know where to find these, ”living lights”. On the north-side of Grand Cayman there is a small protected bay that is one of the best Bio Bays in the world. Millions of glowing microorganisms put on an amazing light show in the dark water, and you can watch your hands, feet and paddles glow beautifully. Our location in Grand Cayman conducts Bio Bay tours almost every night (conditions allowing) by kayak and boat. Our custom-made bioluminescence tour boat was specifically designed for these tours, letting you get up close and personal with the Bioluminescence while riding in comfort, perfect for enjoyment with the family and kids. For a little more adventure there is also a Kayak Tour using double kayaks and flashlights.
