Sunset Bioluminescent Bay Kayak & Rum Tasting Experience

Paddle through one of the Caribbean's magical bioluminescent bays at dusk as the water glows electric blue around you — a once-in-a-lifetime natural phenomenon capped with a curated rum tasting.

What to expect

Depart the port at dusk as the sky turns amber and rose, arriving at the secluded bioluminescent bay just as darkness falls. Your naturalist guide explains the rare dinoflagellate science behind the glow as you dip your paddle and watch electric-blue light erupt around every stroke. Swimming in the bay is permitted — the sensation of glowing water on your skin is otherworldly. Post-paddle, a curated tasting of three premium local rums under a canopy of stars closes the evening in style.

Good to know

Evening departure — confirm all-aboard time is not before midnight; best suited to later all-aboard schedules. Light insect repellent recommended (DEET-free to protect the ecosystem). Transfer from port is approximately 25–40 min. Groups strictly capped at 8. Pre-book weeks in advance — this experience sells out consistently.
