Whether it is your 1st time on the water or your hundredth, the adventure is never the same twice – there is always something new to discover in the outdoors of our great state of Florida. Our owners grew up surfing, kayaking, boating and fishing on the waterways of central Florida. It was always a dream to make the water their office. So it made sense to continue their relationship with this amazing ecosystem, to do their part to be vigilant in their duties to the environment, and to educate the visitors of this great state with candor and comedy. We truly hope you enjoy your experience as a #FLAdventurer and invite you to leave comments of your experience on our TripAdvisor page. See you soon!

Both bioluminescent kayaking and paddleboarding offer the unique experience of witnessing the natural phenomenon of glowing waters in Florida. There’s just a little difference: with kayaking, you sit in a kayak and use a paddle to navigate through the glowing waters. On the other hand, paddleboarding requires you to stand on a board and use a paddle to glide through the waters.

For this reason, paddleboarding takes a bit more balance and coordination, but it also allows you to see more of the glowing dinoflagellates and other marine creatures since you are standing upright. Kayaking, on the other hand, is more stable and suitable for those who prefer to sit while enjoying the view.

Our guided paddleboard and kayak tours are led by experienced tour guides who will take you to the most beautiful spots and provide you with insightful knowledge about the area’s wildlife and ecosystem. The Wildlife Refuge is a top location for large fishing communities, which means the wildlife is always on full display.

Glide through the shimmering waters of Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge and witness the captivating beauty of bioluminescent plankton lighting up the night sky beneath your board. You’ll not only create lifetime memories with family and friends, but also get to take stunning pictures and share your adventure with loved ones on social media platforms.

As we said, unlike going on a kayak, stand-up paddleboarding provides a higher viewpoint so you can observe and appreciate the gorgeous surroundings from a different perspective. Plus, our skilled guides know all the good spots and the best times to go. They’ve got years of experience under their belts and know how to keep you safe while still having a blast. So don’t worry, they’ll take care of you and make sure you have the time of your life. They are also pretty good at taking awesome photos, so you can focus on enjoying the moment and leave the documentation to them.

Our resident explorers will lead you through the calm, protected waters of the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, where you’ll see dazzling displays of bioluminescence as you paddle. It’s an experience unlike any other, and one you’ll never forget. Don’t wait – book your tour today and get ready to glow on the water with Florida Adventurer!
