Why Choose Our Bioluminescence Kayaking Tours?
Our bioluminescence kayaking tours are the top-rated outdoor activity near Orlando, just an hour from Universal Studios and Disney World. Here’s why adventurers love us:
Immersive Eco-Experience: Paddle through mangrove trails and shallow flats in the Indian River Lagoon, dubbed “Florida’s Bioluminescence Bay.”
- Year-Round Glow: See dinoflagellates light up the water from June to October and glowing comb jellies from November to May.

- Beginner-Friendly: Our tandem kayaks and expert guides make this adventure accessible to all skill levels, ages 5+.
- Wildlife Encounters: Spot manatees, dolphins, and exotic birds as you glide through this biodiverse estuary.
What to Expect on Your Bioluminescent Kayaking Tour
Your 90-minute tour begins just after sunset, launching from either Haulover Canal in Titusville or Kiwanis Island Park in Merritt Island. Our certified guides provide a brief kayaking lesson and equip you with Coast Guard-approved life vests, paddles, and flashlights. As darkness falls, every paddle stroke and fish dart creates a neon-blue glow, transforming the water into a living light show.
The bioluminescence, caused by dinoflagellates in summer and comb jellies in cooler months, is brightest on moonless nights. Check our moon calendar (#) to plan your tour for maximum glow. You’ll paddle through serene mangrove trails, marvel at the Milky Way, and maybe even catch a glimpse of a manatee or dolphin illuminated by the glowing water.
Pro Tip: Leave cameras at home—bioluminescence is tough to photograph without professional gear. Immerse yourself in the moment!
