About this event

Description

Join us for an unforgettable nighttime kayaking journey on the South Salish Sea, where the water comes alive with bioluminescent light. As our paddles dip into dark waters, each stroke sparks shimmering trails beneath the surface - a natural phenomenon that feels both surreal and deeply grounding. This experience is more than witnessing bioluminescence; it’s about experiencing awe together. We’ll move together across the water, sharing quiet moments, laughter, and a sense of collective wonder. Before launching, we’ll take time to connect on shore, review safety, and set intentions for an amazing and supportive group experience. On the water, we’ll paddle at an easy pace, allowing for connection, reflection, and awe. Whether you come with friends or arrive solo, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, intentional community of fellow nature-lovers. This is an opportunity to slow down and connect with the sea, each other, and the natural wonders of night on the water. Experienced paddlers only and group size kept small to ensure safety.
