We’ll begin our evening with a bit of background, getting you acquainted with this amazing phenomenon. This will include the science and the lore that surrounds bioluminescence.
Then, as the night sets in, we’ll head for a refreshing dip very close to the shore. Armed with swim buoys and lights, we’ll embrace the waters, hoping to be surrounded by the natural luminescence that has, over the years, become a part of West Cork’s legacy. We stay in water that participants can stand in or is less than 10m away from the shoreline but participants do need to be able to swim.

But the night doesn’t end with the dip. As we return to the sands, a fire pit awaits, casting its warm glow over the beach. It’s here that we’ll settle down, sipping on a comforting hot drink and sharing stories of the sea, of the land, and of the people who’ve called it home.

Join us for a unique immersion into West Cork’s marine magic; it’s an experience you’ll carry with you long after you’ve left our shores.
