What is Bioluminescence?
On land, fireflies are a good example of what it’s like. Bioluminescence is defined as “Life Emitting Light.” It is a common occurrence in the sea. However, to find an area with high concentrations of it on a regular basis is rare and something not to be missed. Tiny microorganisms called ‘Pyrodinium Bahamanse’ are responsible for this captivating display. When at rest, they appear to sparkle, but when disturbed they release more light to be seen. Come experience it for yourself. The bioluminescence is best seen on the darkest nights of the month.
Sky Show
A laser point show of the night sky is given when conditions allow. In
the winter months Orion’s Belt, Taurus and Polaris are a common
sighting. In the early summer the Southern Cross comes out for a special
treat. The Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Scorpio and The Milky Way can be
seen throughout the summer months.
