When is the best time to come?

✨️Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon that is always present in the bay, but how bright it appears depends greatly on natural light conditions, especially the moon phase.

Why the Moon Matters🌕

The darker the night, the brighter the bioluminescence appears to our eyes✨Moonlight, even though beautiful, it adds light to the sky ,which effects visibility .
A simple way to picture it: it’s like a glow stick in a room with the lights on. The glow stick is still glowing, but it’s meant to glow in the dark, so doesn’t stand out until you turn the lights off. The same thing happens with the light from the moon and how it effects how we perceive bioluminescence

🌗 Before vs. After the Full Moon

Not all moon phases affect visibility the same way
• Week before the full moon:
The moon rises earlier in the evening, meaning there is more moonlight during tour hours. This can make the glow less visible
• Week After the full moon:
The moon rises later at night, allowing for darker skies during our tours. This creates better viewing conditions and a more vibrant bioluminescent experience.

⭐ Best Time to Visit

For the best visibility, we recommend booking:
* Day of the new moon!
* 10 days surrounding the new moon
* The week after the full moon on the early tour times


🌕We are CLOSED for three days during the full moon:
• The day before the full moon
• The day of the full moon
• The day after the full moon
During this time, the moon is very bright and significantly affects visibility. While the bioluminescence is still there, it is harder to see due to the strong moonlight.
