Clear Kayaking for bioluminescent adventure is the best! - My husband and I enjoyed this excursion! The location was changed rather last minute (advertised it was possible), but Viator reps were reachable by telephone and got us to where we needed to be in time for the excursion start time. However, others were not so lucky. Because of having to wait an extended time for others who did not get the location update, some gave up because of the delay it took to get everyone to get to the alternate launch destination. The guides were extremely friendly and accommodating. The excursion was a "bucket list" for me, and was thrilled to have yet another.pleasurable Viator offering!

Bioluminescence experience - The guide was very professional and knowledgeable. He was extremely informative about the area, the animals involved in bioluminescence, and other local animals. Bob was excellent.

Fun night out - Really cool to see the water light up - be prepared to swim as a choice to engage with the water more. Kayaks weren't the most comfortable but other than that great time.

Family night out - We were a hesitant bunch, but I’m so glad I dragged my adult kids along — we had a fantastic time! Mike was the perfect host, blending humor with fascinating history about the place and aqueducts. He taught us to paddle, the kids loved balancing on the boards, and the city views were beautiful. Best of all, it felt safe and worry-free!

Barley see anything bioluminescent except the jelly’s - Disappointed the concept was cute but nothing like the pictures. We barely seen anything bioluminescent except the little jelly’s. If I knew we would barely see it I wouldn’t have booked it. Plus we got bit up by mosquitos so bad definitely not worth it sorry :(.

Too many paid customers, barely any bioluminescent lights - Far too many kayakers in our group lights were only in one small area and barely viable, nothing at all like the advertised pictures. Def not worth the $ and def would not do again.
