When Should You Go to Bioluminescent Bay?

Timing is everything when it comes to experiencing the bioluminescence at its best. The ideal time to visit Mosquito Bay is during the new moon phase, when the sky is darkest, allowing the glow of the dinoflagellates to shine through unobstructed. This typically occurs once a month, so planning your trip around this lunar cycle is crucial for an unforgettable experience.

  • Best Months: While you can see bioluminescence year-round, the best months for viewing are generally from June to October. During this period, warmer water temperatures and increased dinoflagellate activity contribute to a more vibrant glow.
  • Avoiding Full Moons: It’s essential to avoid scheduling your tour during a full moon or within five days before or after it. Even if it’s cloudy, the moonlight can diminish your ability to see the bioluminescence clearly.
  • Weather Considerations: Check the weather forecast before your visit. Rain can enhance the glow of the bay by stirring up more dinoflagellates, but heavy storms can also affect visibility.
