Paddle Florida’s bioluminescent waters in a clear kayak
90 minutes
Explore Florida’s Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon by clear kayak on a guided night tour. Spend 90 minutes on the water and watch bioluminescence react to each paddle stroke.
All guests pay the same rate for adults, young adults (12–17), and children (5–11). Bioluminescence is seasonal and varies by conditions.
Reschedule or cancel at least 48 hours before departure for a full refund or credit. Weather cancellations are determined by A Day Away; if cancelled for safety reasons, you can reschedule or receive a rain check. No-shows are charged the full price.
Bring water shoes, quick-dry clothing, towels, bug spray, and snacks.
You primarily ride in tandem kayaks. Single kayaks are available as needed (for example, odd-number groups or body type).
Go May to early November for dinoflagellate bioluminescence. During cooler months, you may see comb jelly bioluminescence.

This bioluminescence kayak tour delivers pure magic, according to nearly all reviewers. The glowing water, comb jellies, dolphins, and star-filled skies create an unforgettable Florida experience that guests consistently describe as amazing and unique. Multiple visitors mention it's even better if you can time it with a SpaceX rocket launch. The guides—particularly Zoey, Jorge, Aiden, and Matthew—earn enthusiastic praise for their knowledge, patience, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable, even nervous first-timers. The tour gets completely dark out there, which is part of the charm but requires following directions carefully. One reviewer felt their guides struggled with organization and didn't manage noisy guests well, but this seems to be an isolated incident among overwhelmingly positive feedback. Several people mention they've returned multiple times, with the Merritt Wildlife Preserve location recommended for minimal light pollution. The location can be slightly tricky to find initially, but reviewers agree the experience is absolutely worth it.
Loved the learning. The communication update due to launch and road closures. It was all we wanted and more. Flamingos. Dolphins. Manatee. Science lessons about the flora and fauna. We cannot wait to explore again. Thanks so much for everything. Well done 👍 .
