Bioluminescent Marine Life Night Experience in Tamano Japan

2 hours

Easy

Experience the magical bioluminescent marine life of Tamano, on the Seto Inland Sea near Naoshima. Unlike a typical wildlife-viewing tour, this is a hands-on experience where guests use specially designed equipment to collect sea fireflies, observe their brilliant blue bioluminescence up close, and safely release them back into the sea.

Led by Trevor, an experienced photographer who has spent more than 14 years observing and photographing local bioluminescence, you'll learn about sea fireflies and glowing phytoplankton while discovering the fascinating marine environment of the Seto Inland Sea. The experience combines discovery, education, and responsible interaction with local marine life in an intimate natural setting.

Perfect for families, couples, photographers, nature lovers, and travelers visiting Naoshima and the Setouchi islands, this intimate night experience offers a rare opportunity to interact with one of Japan's most enchanting natural phenomena.
