点评:We did a 7:20pm kayak bio bay tour with Cayman Kayaks (they had another tour directly after), close to the new moon. The Rum Point location was easy to find with free parking. They also have an electric boat option.
I highly recommend bug spray: we wore it and still got bit waiting on the beach before the tour. Our guide Derrick gave a great laser show narration of constellations on way to the bay, and stopped to show us Cassiopeia jellyfish after.
It was about a ¼ mile paddle each way to the bay, with breaks outside the bay on the way there and back. It really didn't matter that we made sure it was a new moon, because there was so many light outside the houses surrounding bay. Still, the bioluminescence was still impressive and worth doing the tour. We did a similar tour on Vieques (Puerto Rico) and there were no lights around the area. I can only imagine how amazing the bioluminescence would be if everyone was considerate enough to shield their lights facing the water.
翻译:我们参加了Cayman Kayaks公司的皮划艇生物发光海湾之旅,时间是晚上7点20分(他们之后还有另一个行程),当时正值新月前后。朗姆角(Rum Point)很容易找到,而且有免费停车位。他们也提供电动船的选择。
我强烈建议带驱蚊剂:我们喷了,但在行程开始前在沙滩上等候的时候还是被咬了。我们的导游德里克(Derrick)在前往海湾的路上,一边用激光表演讲解星座,一边给我们演示,行程结束后还停下来给我们展示了仙后座水母。
单程划行大约四分之一英里(约400米)到达海湾,途中会在海湾外休息。虽然我们确认那天是新月,但其实意义不大,因为海湾周围的房屋灯火通明。尽管如此,生物发光现象依然令人印象深刻,非常值得参加这次旅行。我们在波多黎各的别克斯岛(Vieques)也参加过类似的行程,那里周围没有灯光。我简直无法想象,如果每个人都能自觉地遮挡住朝向水面的灯光,生物发光现象该有多么壮观。
