Experience one of Andaman’s rarest natural wonders with Bioluminescence Kayaking in Havelock Island. As you gently paddle through calm mangrove creeks after sunset, the water around your kayak lights up with a magical blue glow—caused by microscopic marine organisms called bioluminescent plankton. Every stroke of your paddle, every movement in the water, creates sparkling trails of light, making this experience feel straight out of a fairytale. This eco-friendly night activity is safe, guided, and suitable for beginners, making it perfect for couples, families, honeymooners, and nature lovers visiting Havelock Island.

🛶 About the Experience
Bioluminescence kayaking usually takes place on dark, moonless nights when plankton visibility is at its peak. You’ll begin with a short safety briefing and basic kayaking instructions before heading into calm waters with a professional guide. As darkness surrounds you, the magic begins—every paddle stroke causes the water to shimmer in neon blue hues. Occasionally, fish darting beneath the surface create glowing ripples, offering a once-in-a-lifetime visual experience. This activity focuses on slow paddling and observation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature without disturbing the ecosystem.
