Why Choose the Clear Kayak Bioluminescence Tour?
Unforgettable Nighttime Adventure
The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge comes alive at night with glowing dinoflagellates (summer) and comb jellies (colder months). Every paddle stroke creates a neon-blue ripple, and fish dart like shooting stars under your clear kayak. You might even spot dolphins or manatees glowing in the water, a sight that feels like stepping into a sci-fi movie.
Perfect for All Skill Levels
Whether you’re a first-time kayaker or a seasoned paddler, our expert guides ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Tandem kayaks accommodate up to 420 lbs combined, and the tour is suitable for ages 5 and up. No prior kayaking experience is needed—just a sense of adventure!
Expert Guides and Safety First
Our passionate guides, certified in CPR and first aid, share in-depth knowledge about the local ecosystem, wildlife, and bioluminescence. Each guest receives a Coast Guard-approved life vest, paddle, whistle, flashlight, and glow stick for a secure and immersive journey.
