Sunset & Bioluminescent Kayaking Tour on Lan Ha Bay
Plankton are microscopic organisms that drift in the ocean, and some species have the incredible ability to glow in the dark. This phenomenon, known as bioluminescence, occurs when these organisms are disturbed – whether by a paddle, your hand, or even a fish swimming nearby. The result is a mesmerizing blue-green light that shimmers in the water.
