Night Kayaking in Havelock
About the Activity
Bioluminescence night kayaking in Havelock Island, a unique experience where the water lights up as you paddle through it in the dark.
In the calm backwaters of Havelock, away from artificial lights, the movement of your kayak creates a soft blue glow in the water caused by natural microorganisms. The quieter and darker the surroundings, the better the experience feels.
