BUEI Glow Worm Cruise
Bermuda’s fireworm or glow worm produces bioluminescent displays during its mating activities. Through the months of June, July, August, September and October, between two and three nights after a full moon, this illuminated mating ritual can be witnessed just after sunset. In calm inlets, bioluminescent fireworms swarm to the surface of the sea and engage in sensuous dances and as they do, they give off a luminescent glow that lights up the water. Lasting only a few minutes, the dance is repeated the following month. The Glow Worm Cruise leaves from the BUEI Dock and heads to a calm area to witness this monthly ritual.
Weather permitting: June 28 & 29, July 27 & 28, August 26 & 27, September 25 & 26, October 25 & 26.
Evening Cruise. Departure time varies monthly according to the time of sunset. Please contact BUEI for details
