In the warm and dark lagoon waters lies a natural phenomenon of glowing blue waters alive with activity. The swirling of your hand, every paddle stroke, and the rolling wake off of your kayak all sparkle throughout the darkness. Not only do fish leave trails, dolphins look like torpedoes, and manatees a slow and graceful submarine. Many guests compare the experience to Pandora of “Avatar.” Some even recall the bioluminescence scene in “Life of Pi”  as the gentle plankton leave a trickling glow when you hold it in your hands and let it trickle down your arm. Though some may jokingly blame this on NASA runoff, it is actually the biological response of microscopic algae called a dinoflagellate. The perfectly natural and harmless concentration of organisms produces light before your very eyes, often existing in millions per liter of water. Your tour will include a ton of information about these rare and exotic creatures with the most experienced guides in the area

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the bioluminescence kayak tour?

A: Yes, the tour is suitable for ages 5 and up, but younger kids should be accompanied by an adult. It's a great family-friendly experience, and the guides are really good at keeping everyone engaged! Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a little extra help paddling.

Q: What should I wear for the kayak tour? Is it cold at night?

A: I recommend wearing a swimsuit or quick-dry clothes, plus a light jacket. It can get a bit chilly once the sun sets, especially if there's a breeze. Don't forget water shoes or sandals that can get wet!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather looks bad, the tour operator will usually contact you to reschedule or offer a refund. They prioritize safety, so it's not uncommon for tours to be postponed in case of storms. Just keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your tour!

Just did the bioluminescence kayak tour and it was AMAZING!

OMG, last night was unreal! The glowing water was just like in ‘Avatar’ and we saw dolphins swimming right next to us. The guides were super knowledgeable and made the experience even better. If you're considering this for a gift, do it! My friends were blown away. It’s in Cocoa Beach, and they provide everything you need, so just show up ready to paddle!

Thinking of gifting the kayak tour - any tips?

I’m thinking about getting this bioluminescence kayak tour for my partner’s birthday. I’ve read it’s an amazing experience! Does anyone have advice on the best time to book or anything I should be aware of beforehand? How’s the parking situation there?
