We had a group of 16 that went on this tour last night. We had so much fun and the credit goes to our wonderful guides! I'm so bad at remembering names....I'm pretty sure our male guide was named Ahmed...a very bright engineering college student...and I can't for the life of me remember our female guide's name - I'm so sorry! because she complimented Ahmed perfectly. Both of them were very well versed in the science behind what we were seeing. They both taught us about the area we were touring, and the wildlife available to see. Their enthusiasm was contagious! Both guides were very safety minded - especially considering we had four young children with us. I expected to see a little more of a "show" of bioluminescent activity, but our guides taught us how to scoop the comb jellyfish and watch them glow!! We went to some very dark areas where we were able to experience the sparkling fairy dust effect of the bio phenomenon. We are looking forward to returning to BK Adventures! I think next time we will try the Manatee kayak tour. This company is top notch. They kept us informed of everything we needed to know via email updates prior to our trip. All of the staff is wonderful. Our guides were the best! Our kids will talk about this trip for quite a while!!!

We took the bioluminescence kayakbtour with Katie and Elijah as our guides. They were patient, very well informed and conscientious of everyone's safety. We were able to see and touch some comb jellyfish and kick our feet in the warm banana river. We had a great time and would even attend an early morning dolphin kayak group if it was made available (hint, hint Katie).

This was simply amazing. We first booked the tour in Cocoa Beach, and they called and told us that the tour near Titusville had better activity, so we ended up driving up there. So glad that we did! Our tour guide Bailey was AMAZING. He was so knowledgeable about the area, the history, and places to look for to find bioluminescence and animals. We had a tandem kayak, and it was fairly easy paddling. We went on kind of a windy night, so we had to work against some waves, but it was definitely doable for those who don't kayak a ton! We saw tons of bioluminescence and we even caught a couple of the comb jellies that lit up. Definitely do this!
