You follow the shoreline and the guide\/owner Tom who really knows his stuff, so no danger at all even though its dark. The real payoff is once you reach a closed bay.<\/p>\n<p>The water becomes bioluminescent when you move the water such as with your paddle or hand!\u00a0 Seriously &#8230; we were all freaking out! \ud83d\ude42 Its amazing and totally not what you would expect.\u00a0 You unfortunately cant take a picture of the phenomenon since it apparently does not come out.\u00a0 In any case, I highly recommend you try it out.\u00a0 Its well worth the price and the evening drive to the North side.\u00a0 Just make sure that you are able to paddle a Kayak for 2X45 minutes (there and back) Below is the link to the Web site.\u00a0 Tell Tom that Micho sent you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/caymankayaks.com\/bio-baytour.html\">http:\/\/caymankayaks.com\/bio-baytour.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long time no post!\u00a0 I have been extremely busy at work, traveling and enjoying the beach with my wife &amp; in laws who just went back to Canada a few days ago.
