A Noctiluca Night Tour on a Sea Kayak

A Noctiluca Night Tour on a Sea Kayak

Have you heard of the "Kumano Kodo of the Ocean"? Part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail runs along the coast, and records indicate that some pilgrims traveled by boat. The beautiful Mikisato Coast on the Pacific Ocean is one location associated with the "Kumano Kodo of the Ocean." In summer and fall, you can see noctiluca scintillans, a marine organism that glows in the sea at night. Take a night-time tour by sea kayak to witness this bioluminescence. The tour includes an introduction to sea kayaking for beginners, allowing anyone to take part. Enjoy a light meal from a local deli and locally produced tea as you watch the sunset. The air is so clear here that you can see the Milky Way on cloudless nights. Enjoy the sight of the glowing noctiluca scintillans and the starry night sky.
