From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Andaman Bioluminescence Kayaking
Paddle a glowing sea beneath a moonless, star-filled sky
On the darkest nights, the calm waters around Havelock can light up with an ethereal blue glow as bioluminescent plankton spark at every ripple. A guided night kayak on a moonless night is the way to see it, gliding silently through mangroves as your paddle trails living light. Daytime kayaking through Havelock's mangrove creeks is equally serene, alive with birds and hush. Our tours arrange the guided paddle, timing and transfers so you catch the islands at their most magical.

The bioluminescence experience
Bioluminescence is a natural blue glow given off by tiny plankton when the water is disturbed. On a moonless night around Havelock, each paddle stroke and ripple sparks with light, a genuinely magical, camera-shy spectacle best seen with your own eyes.
Timing is everything
The glow depends on darkness, so trips are planned carefully.
- Best on moonless or near-new-moon nights
- Calm, clear weather helps
- We time your stay around the lunar calendar where possible
Daytime kayaking too
By day, Havelock's mangrove creeks offer serene, beginner-friendly paddling through tunnels of green, often with kingfishers and eagles overhead. It's a lovely, low-effort way to explore the island's quiet side.
How to reach & best time
Fly to Port Blair and ferry to Havelock, the base for these tours. October to May brings the calmest, clearest conditions; we plan the night paddle around dark nights and settled weather.
Good to know
Bioluminescence is natural and can't be assured on any given night, as it varies with the moon, tide and plankton. All paddles are guided and beginner-friendly, and we'll build the itinerary around the best window we can.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
