Night Kayaking Night kayaking Andaman has been the most trending adventure nowadays. The night kayaking is one and only option to observe not only the clear night sky with innumerable shining stars but also glowing bioluminescence in the water.

Clear sky with stars seems okay but what is Bioluminescence exactly?

Bioluminescence means “living light”, Like fireflies.

There are thousands of micro-living organisms in the ocean like a species of algae, phytoplankton, squid, shrimp, and some fish. They have an extraordinary natural defence mechanism that emits light due to a chemical reaction where the chemical energy is converted into light energy, and these species start sparkling.
