GLOW WORMS

This cruise is only available 4 - 6 nights after the full moon as Glow Worms are one of natures rare phenomenas. If you are around at that particular time, do not miss it!

Glow Worm Cruises start 30 minutes before sunset and take you to the Turks and Caicos banks where you wait for the spectacular event.

Every month 2 to 6 nights after full moon a mesmerizing phenomenon occurs in the ebbing tide of the banks. 50 minutes after sunset the marine worm Odontosyllis performs a most unusual mating ritual. The sparkling show starts with the females spiraling to the surface emitting a pulsating green luminescence as they release an egg mass. The male, glowing as well, does a zig zag dance until he encounters these eggs, darts around in the mass causing an even brighter glow. He then dies and sinks to the bottom of the sea, sigh - no kidding, this is the truth. Come and enjoy this unique event yourself. Parents guidance advised (now I am kidding)
