A Memorable Salt River Kayaking Experience
We offer this tour when the moonlight gets too bright and diminishes the effects of the bioluminescence.
It’s easy to feel serene while you pedal across the Salt River Bay for the Sunset and Moonlight Kayak Tour. We’ll explore the Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve and catch the end of the sunset casting beautiful colors over the water.
You'll also learn Salt River Bay's history and see many of its key ecological features, such as the red mangrove tree. Once the stars begin to shine, you'll learn about the night sky and the constellations.
When we kayak over to the St. Croix bioluminescent bay, we often still see a glimpse of the glowing organisms that call the biobay home.
As we finish our trip, you’ll enjoy a tranquil ride back across the bay as the moonlight guides us.

Our innovative Hobie Mirage Kayaks have a drive pedal system, which makes kayaking easy and fun. And if you’ve never kayaked before, that’s okay! Many people who have taken a tour with us haven’t and have a wonderful time.
Kayakers love using the Hobie Mirage Kayaks for the Sunset and Moonlight Tour because they’re:
​
-
Sturdy - even in strong winds and currents
-
Comfortable - max individual weight of 260 pounds
-
Self-bailing - water naturally drains out and doesn’t puddle in the boat
-
Easy to operate - all you have to do is move your legs back and forth to go
