↠ EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF A BIOLUMINESCENT CLEAR KAYAK TOUR! ↞
Are you ready to Get Up and GLOW?! Our bioluminescent tours are given in our amazing 100% clear kayaks! We only bring groups of up to 10 people out on the water at a time so be ready for an awesome personalized experience with our top notch guides. We have 2 tour guides per group which makes for an even better experience! We believe that giving the information about the bioluminescence and surrounding areas in a fun and caring way will leave a lasting effect to all guests!
Bioluminescence is the emission of light by a living organism. When the organisms move in the water they create a beautiful glowing effect. This means that you can see fish underwater by the glow that they give off as they swim, your paddle will glow as you maneuver the waterways, and the natural flow of water will illuminate these organisms. We often see dolphins, manatees, rays, and so much more ignite the bioluminescence at night as well!
We’re the first clear kayaking bioluminescent company and proud of it! The great thing about paddling in our clear kayaks in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is that you can also see the glowing directly below you! Paddling in a clear kayak will enhance your bioluminescence viewing experience by a long shot!
Please keep in mind that we do offer tours at midnight and later. If you book a time that late, it may look like it is on the next day because of the time. Please double check all dates/times!

Kayak tour was great, such a fun environment the tour guide Wolf was so funny and made everything so fun, he had great fun facts about the canal and the space center. 10/10 would recommend, this was one of the most memorable experiences.

I want to thank our guide Wolf for an amazing experience. I have been wanting to see the bioluminescence lights for the longest but avoided kayaking at night; once I got to the ramp and I met our guide Wolf I felt completely comfortable and at ease. He knew where to take us, his experience, knowledge and excitement made the tour an unexpectedly pleasant affair. We even saw dolphins and we had time to really take in the night, admire a lovely starry sky and the surroundings. Beyond the magic of the bioluminescence he made me feel safe.
– Yaimara G. | Tripadvisor
We had an amazing trip tonight. The water was brilliant, quite literally. Our guide Wolf did a great job of explaining different info about history and wildlife, and taking us to great spots to really see the bioluminescence. We also saw dolphins and a manatee! I think my favorite part was when he took us to the lagoon and stirred up all the fish so they were jumping and swimming everywhere.
– Joy | Tripadvisor
I went on the bioluminescent tour with my brother and his wife and we very much enjoyed it. It was beautiful and the tour guides (Liz, Jake, and Alex) were very nice and helpful.
– Alexa N. | Tripadvisor
We had an amazing time on our night time kayaking. Both Liz and Zack were great fun and very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins and heard a few manatees although unfortunately didn’t get to see them. Would thoroughly recommend this experience and would certainly do it again.
