Stunning Bioluminescence
Paddle through waters that glow with every stroke, thanks to dinoflagellate plankton and comb jellies. The darker the night, the brighter the glow—especially during new moon cycles from June to October.
Wildlife Encounters
The Indian River Lagoon is a biodiversity hotspot. Look for manatees, dolphins, stingrays, and birds like herons and pelicans. Our clear kayaks let you see fish darting beneath you, illuminated by the neon-blue glow.
Sunset and Night Paddling
Start at sunset to catch fiery skies, then watch the water come alive after dark. The tour lasts 90 minutes, covering calm waters with minimal light pollution, offering views of the Milky Way above.
Easy for All Skill Levels
No kayaking experience? No problem! Our tandem clear kayaks are stable and easy to paddle. Guides provide orientation, and each guest gets a life vest, whistle, and flashlight for safety.
Why Cocoa Beach for Bioluminescent Kayaking?
Cocoa Beach, part of Florida’s Space Coast, is a prime spot for bioluminescence due to its warm, salty waters and minimal light pollution. The Indian River Lagoon, a federally protected estuary, hosts vibrant dinoflagellates and comb jellies, creating a glowing spectacle. Our tours are just 45 minutes from Orlando, making them the closest bioluminescent experience to major resorts.
Whether you’re a local or visiting from Miami, Tampa, or beyond, this eco-adventure is a must. Combine it with a day at Cocoa Beach or a visit to the Kennedy Space Center for the ultimate Space Coast itinerary.
