See Bioluminescence on a Kayak Tour in Bellingham
Bioluminescence occurs when living organisms emit light due to a chemical reaction; think of fireflies or glowworms. Some bioluminescent organisms, namely a kind of marine plankton, can be found in the waters near Bellingham, Washington, typically between the months of June and September. When you disrupt the water where these organisms live (like with a kayak paddle), the effect is a glowing blue or green color. You can experience this magical phenomenon firsthand by kayaking at night in the Salish Sea.
The local kayaking tour guides listed below can help you get on the water and see this stunning natural display for yourself. Remember to always recreate responsibly.
