Also\, witness the food chain under our deployed squid light–from the tiniest of plankton to fish and squid–and at times the sea lions and dolphins who feed on them!\nBioluminescence Night Cruises are only offered during the summer months.\n*Please be advised that forces of nature determine the abundance of bioluminescence at any given time.\nPricing:\nTicket: $55\nInfant/Toddler (0-1 y.o): $10\n			\n				BOOK NOW\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Click here for our Refund and Ticket Transfer Policy.
