MIAMI, Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Swimming in pixie dust. It's an apt description for the encounter Rock the Park's hosts Jack Steward and Colton Smith experienced during a kayak tour of St. Croix's Salt River Bay National Historic Park. In fact, the on-screen team for ABC's Daytime Emmy Award-winning travel show were dipping their toes into one of the world's premier bioluminescent bays, an extraordinary ecosystem inhabited by marine organisms that emit light similar to the way fireflies light up rural landscapes on summer nights.

Just seven miles from Caravelle Hotel & Casino in downtown Christiansted, Salt River Bay National Historic Park is a 120-acre ecological preserve encompassing natural, historic and archeological sites. Virgin Kayak Tours leads nighttime excursions through the bioluminescent bay, one of only seven remaining "super-glow bio bays" worldwide, offering kayakers an almost magical up-close — and hands-on — experience with the tiny organisms that emit light when the water around them is stirred. Caravelle Hotel & Casino will donate $10 to the St. Croix Environmental Association for every hotel guest who books a bioluminescent tour through Virgin Kayak Tours. Established to promote the conservation of environmental resources, the St. Croix Environmental Association provides education and advocates for environmentally responsible actions that benefit St. Croix.
In Naples, Fla., Lemon Tree Inn supports a similar initiative in partnership with Kayak Marco's Black Night Bioluminescence Tours. Offered June–October, the 1.5- to two-hour tours showcase luminescent marine life as it reacts to paddlers passing through its habitat. Lemon Tree Inn will donate $10 to Everglades National Park for every guest who books a bioluminescent tour through Kayak Marco.
