Feel awe and wonder as you experience the magic of bioluminescence during a warm spring, summer or fall evening paddle!
Bioluminescence is a light producing chemical reaction occurring within living organisms including fireflies, jellyfish, marine and more!
Ideal conditions occur in our local waters in the spring, summer and fall when plankton concentrations increase and create magical displays of bioluminescent waters.
Bioluminescent SUP Adventures are super popular so plan ahead and book early! This adventure is suitable for all fitness and skill levels even beginner paddle boarders! Swimming skills are not necessary. Lifejackets are provided and must be worn.

Booking Notes
## How to Prepare and What to Bring
Thank you for booking your Bioluminescence Tour with [South Island SUP](http://www.southislandsup.com).
Below is some useful information to support you in preparing for and enjoying your experience on the water with us:
- Wear clothing suitable for the weather conditions and water activity (layers and/or a jacket are a good idea; avoid cotton, as it absorbs and retains water like a sponge keeping you wet and cold)
- Water/reef shoes are great for walking down to the beach with your board and can be worn while paddling, although paddling barefoot during the warm season is the norm
- Bring a towel, change of clothes (just in case and if you plan to "dip" in the water) (can be kept on shore)
- Use a strap for your prescription glasses or sunglasses (we have straps available for rent or purchase)
- Leave your electronic keys, phone, etc. on shore or place in a dry bag (rental dry bags are available for an additional fee)
- Water
We'll provide waterproof flashlights.
