Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

Overview

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

Caleb and Kirk were awesome! They were very knowledgeable kind and wholesome. We had a great time and we were able to see the bioluminescent Comb Jelly fish and some jumping fish. As an added bonus we saw Falcon 9, enter the atmosphere from Cape Canaveral space station. Overall it was 100% worth the money! It was a once in a lifetime experience for anyone not from Florida.
