It's quiet, tranquil, and almost cosmic as your senses help you connect deeply with your surroundings. In this experience with local guides, you will be paddling in open water and through mangroves, all while stars light up the night sky, the only sound is the splash of your paddle and nature’s occasional rustle. It is an amazing way to experience Havelock Island's natural beauty whether you are an explorer or a nature enthusiast.

How has Night Kayaking become Popular in Havelock Island?

Night Kayaking on Havelock Island gained attraction among travellers. Eco-oriented adventurers were seeking more than just a tour (sightseeing experiences), they were seeking to get immersed into unique adventures to beautiful places. Something fun & exciting has now been turned into a highly-objectified rarity shared interpersonally between some locals and some adventurous individuals seeking just thrill. The adventure seekers started gaining more traction from eco-tourists and ideal travellers alike when the phenomenon of natural bioluminescence started to be featured in the area.

  • The glowing waters became a buzzword on social media, travel forums, and ultimately rose above travel influencer hype for much of the travel community, leaving people fascinated and intrigued by night kayaking as they sought to paddle in glowing waters under a blanket of stars, all of which felt surreal and at peace.
  • Local tour operators identified the interest and rapidly developed a method for offering safe, guided tours which quickly legitimized and made night kayaking accessible as a public experience.
  • Night kayaking was once unknown as a true experience that was based on the stunning bioluminescent display; now it was becoming Havelock's most talked about one-of-a-kind visitor experience that added a touch of adventure, nature and magic all in an unforgettable experience.

Elephant Beach- Ultimate Spot for Night Kayaking

Elephant Beach is a well-known spot on Havelock Island for kayak fans. There's day and night kayaking amongst unbelievable nature's beauty. During the day, kayakers will be surrounded by amazing coral reefs and beautiful pristine flora in unbelievable clear water. Night kayaking during the new moon will allow you to view the amazing bioluminescent phenomena of bioluminescent plankton where the water glows with the swish of the paddles and the movements of the kayak. It is an experience like no other.

Night Kayaking in Havelock Island- Age Limit & Requirements

Kayaking at night on Havelock Island is a whole different activity. Each of the tour operators will have their own age restrictions and pricing. Most set a minimum age of 10 years; however, there may also be tour operators who will have kids at less than 10 years (4 or 8 years) as long as they are paired by an instructor. Overall maximum age is about 50 years, but again this depends on the health and fitness level of the kayaker. The average price for a night kayaking experience is approx. ₹2,500 to ₹3,500 per person, although it depends on the nature of your travel package and inclusions.

NOTE- THESE ARE AVERAGE COSTS AND IT MIGHT DIFFER AS PER PACKAGE.

When to visit Havelock Islands for Night Kayaking?

Remember, the best chance of spotting bioluminescence (glowing in the water) would be during the new moon phase (usually the moonless time of year between November and February), but just keep in mind that bioluminescence is a natural occurrence and cannot be insured on every trip. However, regardless of whether it is your first ever time in a kayak or you are an advanced paddler, night kayaking in Havelock Island is a magical experience that will stay with you forever as you effortlessly paddle across glowing waters.

Things To Remember Before Night Kayaking in Havelock Island

  • Firstly, you do not have to be an expert, but if you're going to be on the water - and the fact that paddling is a physical activity, it would make sense to have some amount of baseline fitness. In general, you should be provided with safety equipment such as life jackets and headlamps, therefore it is important for you to use this equipment properly.
  • Choose clothing that is comfortable, but preferably quick-drying. Do not take valuable personal items because you might possibly get wet.
  • Listen to the safety briefing and your guide—it is the expert in the setting, and they are there to ensure that you have a wonderful experience and stay safe.
  • For night kayaking, the best time is during (or immediately afterwards) the new moon - when the sky is darker - so that the bioluminescence is enhanced and easily seen.
  • The most important thing—be present! Savor the serenity of the surroundings, the lovely reflection on the water, a few minutes floating under the stars, and just finally relaxing. This is not an experience; this is a memory!
