Moss Landing, CA: Starlight Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

Sponsored by Hopkins San Francisco/Bay Area

Come join us for a tour of the slough in twilight! This three-hour kayak tour begins during the golden hour just before sunset as animals begin frolicking and feeding at dusk. Once the sun sets, enjoy the serenity as night herons emerge and egrets find their homes in the trees. When the darkness deepens, we will search for bioluminescence, looking for its telltale sparkles and shimmering blue glow as the otter and bird calls travel through the night. 

Please note that bioluminescence is not always visible and does decrease notably as the seasons change.

Your ticket includes all kayaking-specific equipment, including extra water-repellent layers to wear over your clothes. Please arrive 20 mins prior to the tour start time. 

Children must be at least 50 lbs. and older than 5 years. Please check out the Frequently Asked Questions page on the Blue Waters Kayaking Page before registering. 

A limited number of spots are available. 

A portion of this registration fee will serve as a donation in support of future programming and events.  If you wish to not have a portion of your registration support such initiatives, you may contact the Office of Annual Giving: oag@jhu.edu.
