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.
