Take A Unique Sunset Kayak Tour Through The Illuminated Waters Of Washington

Between the seemingly endless winter and the fact that current conditions make traveling difficult, to say Washingtonians are looking forward to warmer weather is a huge understatement. As you're making plans and dreaming of all you'd like to do this year, consider adding a sunset kayak tour to your list. Anacortes Kayak Tours offers award-winning guided kayak tours, one of which takes you right through shimmering bioluminescence.

Anacortes Kayak Tours is a small family-run company that has been in business for over 15 years.

And since they're based out of Anacortes, that means you won't have to deal with the ferry schedule when you book.

The company has a wonderful reputation and makes safety a top priority.

No kayaking experience is necessary to enjoy one of these tours.

Anacortes Kayak Tours offers everything from a short 1.5-hour ride to multiple day kayaking and camping adventures.

However, the Sunset and Bioluminescence Tour is definitely one of the most popular options.

This 3-hour tour is truly a celebration of light.

You'll paddle out into the sea as the sun sinks down over the horizon, which is an incredible experience all on its own. It isn't uncommon to see wildlife like seals, bald, eagles, and deer during this time.

As you paddle through the moonlight, the water will be brushed with bioluminescence.

Bioluminescence is a form of chemiluminescence, the emission of light as the result of a chemical reaction -- in this case, a living organism. And to see it in person is absolutely magical.

These tours tend to run from May - September.

They are planned around the new moon, which allows you to see bioluminescence as brightly as possible.

This one-of-a-kind tour departs from Bowman Bay.

You can get the most accurate dates and meeting times on the company's website. You'll also find a list of everything you'll need to prepare.
