Discover the magic of Bioluminescence on the South Island with our SUP Bioluminescence Tour!

Immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of the ocean, mountains, and sky during our Bioluminescence Tour in Brentwood Bay, available from April to October. Join us for a guided paddle through the sparkling waters and witness the captivating light-producing chemical reaction that occurs within algae, plankton, and jellyfish.

Our local waters come alive with bioluminescence during the spring, summer, and fall months when plankton concentrations create a mesmerizing display. The tour takes place in Brentwood Bay, near the famous Butchart Gardens, situated between the City of Victoria and the airport.

Expect approximately 2 hours of enchantment as you paddle through the bioluminescent waters, guided by our experts. Join us for a Bioluminescence Tour that promises not only a paddle through glowing waters but also a sense of awe and wonder as you witness nature’s light show.
