Moonlit Bioluminescence Kayak Tours Hood Canal Adventures, located north of Brinnon on Hwy 101, will be offering night tours by kayak to view the bioluminescence. These tours are conducted on evenings of the new moon throughout the summer. Experience the spectacular wonderland of a sea glowing with luminescent organisms on this late night tour. As you paddle through the waters these organisms will light up like fireflies as your guide talks about the creatures that posses this special adaptation. Call 360-301-6310 or visit Hoodcanaladventures.com to book this tour at least seven days in advance, Dates are: July 2 July 31, and August 30, 9:30 – 10:30 PM. Cost is $65/person. Children, four and under free. Arrive for this tour no later than 9:15 PM. Dress for the weather! If it’s rainy or cool wear a rain jacket, hat, and a pair of water resistant pants.
Shoes or sandals that can get wet are recommended. Remember, you’ll be wearing a life vest which adds warmth and bulk so heavy jackets are not recommended. Most of our kayaks have dry hatches so you can always bring a little more than you might need if the weather is unpredictable. We also recommend bringing a bottle of water on all tours. Bring your camera and cell phone at your own risk. Most folks do, and there are rarely problems. We also have some dry bags to lend out but you may need to request one in advance.
