Outstanding Night Kayaking in Andaman – Watch Bioluminescence and a Sky Full of Stars! scubainandaman.wordpress.com/2022/06/13/night-kayaking-in-havelock
A few months ago, I started kayaking in the Andaman Islands. I was lucky enough to do night kayaking in Havelock, which turned out to be one of the best decisions I made during my stay on this beautiful island! My experience there was so outstanding that I would like to share it with you now, if you’re ever planning a trip to Andaman yourself! Here are some facts about the unique experience of doing Night Kayaking in Andaman and why you shouldn’t miss it during your stay here.
Night Kayaking in Havelock
What Is Bioluminescence? Bioluminescence is light produced by a living organism. It’s found in everything from jellyfish to fireflies and shrimp. It makes nighttime kayaking in Havelock island that much more awesome. The bioluminescence is caused by single-celled organisms, that is called dinoflagellates, which are common in water bodies around coral reefs and are usually only visible under water after dark (see, not all night life is on land!). Bioluminescence occurs when these organisms produce excess amounts of light as an example of defense against predators or to find prey. Either way, they use their own bodies as flashlights to lure unsuspecting creatures toward them; it’s not unlike catcalling on city streets.
