Our bioluminescence rafting tours are ideal for families, whether you have young kids, seniors, or a large group of relatives. It’s an opportunity to bond and create lifetime memories together while experiencing something totally unique and unforgettable.

So, what exactly is bioluminescence? Picture this: You’re floating in a dark river at night, and suddenly the water starts glowing around you! It’s like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? But this isn’t Hollywood magic, it’s the real-life wonder of bioluminescence.

Bioluminescence is simply the ability of some living things to produce light. Think fireflies, jellyfish, or even some deep-sea fish. But what makes our bioluminescence rafting tours truly special is the minuscule creatures that inhabit the waters we navigate. These little guys – dinoflagellates, to be exact – light up when they’re disturbed. So, when you paddle through the water, or even just move your hand around, you’re creating a magical, sparkling effect that’s truly breathtaking.

We take you out on the water in a comfy raft with our expert guides who know exactly where to find the coolest bioluminescent creatures. No need to worry about finding your way around, our guides have got you covered. Our rafts are stable and easy to navigate, and our guides are trained to make sure everyone stays safe while having fun. And because the tours take place at night, it’s the perfect way to beat the summer heat and enjoy the cooler evening temperatures.

Plus, seeing the water light up with tiny sparks of light is a truly mesmerizing experience that you won’t soon forget. Get ready to get in touch with nature and appreciate the wonders of the world around us. Our guides will even teach you all about the biology and behavior of these fascinating organisms.

Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or just looking for a unique and exciting way to spend an evening with your loved ones, our bioluminescence group rafting tour is a must-do. With just $60 per person, it’s an affordable experience, taking inflation into account, that you’ll treasure for years to come.

During the tour, we’ll paddle our rafts around the stunning islands at Beacon 42 to see glowing dinoflagellates. While the phenomenon is hard to photograph, it’s an unforgettable sight to see. Our tour is limited in number to provide an intimate outdoor experience, so you’ll get up-close-and-personal with the stunning natural beauty of the lagoon.

With our large rafts, we can accommodate up to 10 people, making it the perfect way to enjoy the bioluminescence experience together with you loves ones. Plus, we are one of only companies that offer this option for large families in the Orlando and Cocoa Beach area. Be sure to arrive 30 minutes prior to your launch time for check-in and outfitting, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for the breathtaking Milky Way galaxy above!

Our 90-minute tour takes place on the Indian River Lagoon, which is home to an array of wildlife, including manatees, dolphins, birds, raccoons, and opossums. Our knowledgeable tour guides will lead you through the lagoon’s mangrove trails and shallow flats, while sharing fascinating facts and insights about the surrounding ecosystem.

Pro tip from our guides: the best time to see bioluminescence is during a 13-day window every month when there is no moon in the sky while we are on the water at night. This window starts 3 days after the full moon and ends one day after the new moon. By booking during this time, you’ll avoid the new moon crowds while still experiencing the absolute darkness of a “New Moon” night!

Don’t wait too long to book your spot though – our tours fill up quickly and spots are limited!
