Bio Luminiscient Bay Kayaking

Swimming with infinite Dinoflagellates in warm water of Mosquito bay and may not sound like a sexy ...but, having done this on a clear night was one of most romantic experiences ever!

Unfortunately, this is something you may have to expereince for yourself. No picture will do justice to what it really feels like. When you sit in the kayak and start paddling toward the mid of the bay. Anything and everything that moves and touches these micro-organisms, lights them up! So when a fish swims by, it appears like a long florousent snake zipping past the kayak. It takes a bit of geting used to this. When you finally get to swim in the bay on the moonless night, it is like the diamonds rolling off your hand.


We went with Blue Karibe Kayaks and found them very professional!

Parasailing




St Thomas, USVI, USA- Nov 2006

Parasailing-Yes, sure we will probably enjoy this activity again in future, as they say, first time is always special. We enjoyed the turquoise blue water of the Carribean as we floated up in the air- about 500 feet, before landing back in the boat. The next time around, I want to come down with a splash- literally.
