RENTAL INCLUDES
Kayak or paddle board, life vest, paddle, pre-paddle orientation, and tour overview.

ACTIVITY LEVEL
Medium rigor.  This tour is at night and thus is not suitable for beginner paddlers.  We paddle less than 4 miles, often closer to 3 miles depending on where we find the bioluminescence.  Wind and tidal conditions are professionally assessed and we may cancel on-site due to weather.  Most tours are very approachable.  

PARKING

Plenty of parking except on Saturday nights in July -October.  Arrive 1 hour early on these nights to find convenient parking.  

If the parking lot at Miller Boat Launch is full simply park above in the eucalyptus grove along the highway - can't miss it.  

LOGISTICS

No cell reception at Miller Boat Launch nor on-the-water.  Wi-fi is available at Nick's Cove Restaurant however it closes at 8pm on weekends.

WHAT TO WEAR
Dress in layers and synthetic clothing (it will dry faster than cotton). Wear a waterproof & wind proof outter layer.  Water shoes are not essential but are preferred by many of our guests. Others prefer flip-flops or strap sandals. 

WHAT TO BRING
Drinking water and light towel.  Dry bag or zip-lock bags are highly recommended to protect cell phones and other valuables.  We will provide a headlamp with a red light however if you have your own, bring it.   No cell reception on the water and bioluminescence can not be photographed without special equipment.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Our tours involve staging and hauling kayaks to/from our launch locations.  We also have minimum & maximum group sizes for our events.  During non-peak season cancellation may result in trip cancellation which impacts other bookings.  During peak season, we can often sell a seat several times over thus any cancellation is lost revenue.
