This tour focuses specifically on comb jelly bioluminescence, a rare phenomenon different from Florida’s well-known dinoflagellate glow. Instead of constant sparkle, comb jellies emit soft rainbow flashes as they move — creating a subtle, ethereal light show beneath your clear kayak. Launching from calm, protected waters in Merritt Island, this experience is ideal for both beginners and experienced paddlers. Transparent kayaks paired with carefully balanced LED lighting allow you to clearly observe the jellies and marine life below without overpowering the natural darkness of the lagoon. Your guide shares the science behind bioluminescence and the ecology of the Indian River Lagoon. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, guests may encounter fish, rays, dolphins, or manatees in this diverse estuary. With small groups and a peaceful setting, this immersive eco-tour offers a refined way to witness one of Florida’s most fascinating nighttime natural events.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this kayak tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, this tour is family-friendly! Kids ages 6 and up can join, but they must wear a life vest at all times. It's a great way to introduce them to the wonders of marine life and bioluminescence. Just make sure they're comfortable in a kayak. It's a super fun experience for everyone!

Q: What happens if the weather turns bad? Do they reschedule?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, Epic Paddle Adventures will contact you to reschedule. They monitor conditions closely and prioritize safety. It's always best to check the forecast before heading out, but they’re super accommodating and will work with you to find another time.

Q: What do I need to wear for this tour? Is it cold at night?

A: Wear layers! It can get a bit chilly once the sun sets, especially in the fall. A light jacket or hoodie is a good idea. Also, shoes that can get wet are a must—flip flops or water shoes work great. Just remember to bring a towel for after the ride!

Just did the Comb Jelly Kayak Tour and WOW!

I went on the Comb Jelly Bioluminescence Tour last week in Cocoa Beach and it was such an incredible experience! The guide was so knowledgeable and I loved the way the kayaks lit up the jellies. Seeing those soft rainbow flashes was like something out of a dream. We even spotted a dolphin swimming nearby! If you’re thinking of gifting this to someone, do it! Just make sure they wear warm layers since it gets chilly at night.

Thinking about a group tour for my friend's birthday!

I've been eyeing the Comb Jelly Kayak Tour for my friend's birthday, but I'm a little nervous about logistics. How many people usually go on these tours? Is it fun for a mixed group of beginners and experienced kayakers? I really want this to be a special night for her!
