What to expect
Bioluminescent Kayak Tours
- Summer Bioluminescence: Dinoflagellate (cloudy bluegreen glow) - peak season May to early November
- Winter Bioluminescence: Comb Jelly (Individual glowing jellies) - peak season late November to April
- During the warm summer months the waters of Florida's Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon come alive with single-celled microorganisms called dinoflagellates.
- In the cooler Florida months, bioluminescent Comb Jellies congregate in the protected waters of the Indian River Lagoon. Living in the most bio-diverse estuary in North America, Comb Jellies are clear, glob-like creatures that, despite their name, do not sting! So as you paddle the calm waters laced with mangroves and palm trees, you can catch and hold these gentle glowing creatures. They're right at your fingertips while having a safe, awe-inspiring kayak adventure with those who share your enthusiasm for new and unique experiences.

Easy paddle. Relaxing yet breath-taking and thrilling all in one. Especially when a glow in the dark pod of dolphins stops to say good evening.

Our guide Sunny was absolutely amazing, you can definitely tell she loves what she does. We left with enough time to be about 30 minutes early, and there was a very bad accident that was adding about an hour to our travel time. We called and at first they told us they can only hold the trip about 15 minutes, no refunds or exceptions. Someone else in the group called back and had to text the phone rep about the situation. I think they waited for us because we were 5 of the 7 people on the trip for the evening. I'm grateful it worked out, it was an amazing fun time, but I really wish there was some leniency considering someone died on the highway and we were stuck in standstill traffic.Our Tour guide (Joe), did a amazing job. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyed listening to him. Loved it would highly recommend this tour
