Bioluminescence is a phenomenon of production and emission of light by a living organism. The bacteria and phytoplankton in the water illuminate giving the amazing ‘glow in the dark’ water.

How do you experience the magical waters?

Take a night kayaking tour from Tanaz Noble at Havelock Island on a dark night, preferably a new moon night. You will be taken around the mangroves where you will witness the blue-green creatures glowing in the water like fireflies.
