Glow Worm Tour And Sunset Cruise

Glow Worm tours happen 3-6 nights after the Full Moon. About an hour after the sunset, the marine worm, Odontosyllis Enopla, performs a sparkling mating ritual. The number of mating displays may change from month to month, but the spawning cycle is dictated by lunar and solar patterns happening only a few nights of each month. As the female Glow Worm releases an egg mass, it spirals to the surface, emitting a pulsating pale, green luminescence. The male, also glowing, does a zig-zag dance, until he encounters these eggs, then darts around inside the masses causing an even brighter green “glow”. This one night stand is a fatal attraction for the male who then sinks to the bottom of the sea and dies. It lasts usually for 15 minutes. It's like all the stars in the sky appear in the sea!
