Itinerary and highlights

This tour is available all year. Florida has not one but two types of bioluminescence. In the cooler months, our lagoons are inundated with Bioluminescent Comb-Jellyfish. These creatures emit blue-green light. The jellyfish will also light up in the palm of your hand, and don't worry, they don't sting! This immersive experience is a hit with kids and adults alike, and you'll be talking about it for months.

In the summer, the dinoflagellate plankton thrives. Every stroke of your paddle lights up the water with a bright neon blue. The fish moving around look like colorful fireworks. See more with a clear kayak.

Titusville/Merritt Island in Florida is home to the only bioluminescent bay in the continental US, offering visitors the chance to witness this incredible display of nature up close.

As one of only four companies authorized to work on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, we offer bioluminescent tours that are guided and safe. Our expert guides will take you on a journey that is both informative and fun, sharing their knowledge and passion for this natural phenomenon.

These Florida kayak tours book out 2 weeks in advance. Please make your reservations in advance.
