Wonderful time! The kayaks are 2 people tandem with clear bottoms, and there were 13 kayaks in our 10:30pm group, all ages from children to seniors. I got to catch multiple comb jellies with my hands, and the bioluminescence was stunning. Leo was especially wonderful as our guide! We were having trouble getting a clear picture of the experience and he took one for us that shows the glow SO well! The kayaking is not strenuous or challenging at all, but you will get a bit wet from the seat/vest/paddling. Bring bug spray and shoes that can survive water/mud when getting in. And a towel.

I just finished this tour last evening with my family (we were a party of 5 adults). The pros: Brian (our guide) was a very entertaining fellow, and he brought us to a spot where we could see luminescent waters and FISH literally jumping into some of the kayaks.They provided my whole party with sturdy two-seater kayaks, paddles, glow sticks and life jackets with the necessary safety features. FYI: skip the clear kayaks, not worth the money or the work to paddle them. The other guides on the tour were also very friendly and took safety seriously. I would have liked to have given it five stars, but here are a few cons:We got in the water 30 mins late. We watched the other tours bring in larger groups than ours ahead of us who all started on time. We were instructed to stay close together. VERY CLOSE. My husband and I are experienced kayakers and not everyone else was... fair enough.HOWEVER....During most of the tour, our kayak was constantly getting rammed into, and I took a hit with a blade TWICE to the head. We tried breaking away within a safe distance to the group, but were told we had to stay very close, which meant more bumper car action. I was surprised they didn't leash us all together. We spent a good amount of our time edging instead of enjoying the spectacular environment around us. Bottom line: It got old real fast. And after about 30 minutes or so, I would have been fine with heading back.The cons aside, my family really did enjoy this extraordinary experience. The view of the stars was spectacular. I'm a Space Coast local and would return to this area to kayak again, but probably would go with a different company.

We had a wonderful group rafting experience with Sami as our guide. She was informative and chill and she made it a fun and relaxing time for us. The bioluminesnce was just amazing...we had so much fun running our hands and paddles thru it. Defintely wear long sleeves and pants due to the mosquitoes. My son even wore a mosquito head net and was very glad he did. Beautiful experience. Minus the mosquitoes, top notch nature fun.

We took a tour last night with Bryan, it was amazing. We put the kayaks in at Haulover inlet, we chose a clear bottom kayak, the fish would glow as they swam by, the waves crested with beautiful bioluminescence, and the stars were unbelievable. We saw several dolphin before we put kayaks in the water.Bryan was a professional and handled a whiny teenager with patience and kindness, we had to stop and return them to dry land because he was unruly and shouting profane language, but Bryan handled very well. We loved the tour and wish we could go every day. Don’t change a thing.

Best thing we did on our family vacation! Brian, our guide, was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Great location! We were able to see manatees, sting ray's, mangrove tree tunnels, and dolphins! Strongly recommend for the whole family! The manatees came to us! Definitely bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and water! Those are a MUST!

We took a family tour early in the morning (8am) and all loved our eco-tourism experience! It was a serene experience away from the chaos of Disney and Orlando that allowed us to relax and enjoy true natural beauty. We saw tons of manatees, dolphins, flying fish, tons of different bird species, and even an alligator resting on shore. Our tour guide, Brian, was full of fun science facts which made the tour even better! We waded for a bit after the tour and saw even more... sting rays, shrimps, hermit crabs, mollusks. I would encourage everyone to take this trip, but early to enjoy everything we did!

Our kayak tour was the best part of our trip! Our guide Brian was so knowledgeable and made the tour fun, educational, and truly one of a kind! Getting to see manatees, dolphins, gators, pelicans, and other native wildlife was unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!
