We've been wanting to try this for a while and we're so glad we finally had the chance. This was a night we'll never forget!
It's hard to describe what you'll see without actually seeing it. The illumination in the water was incredible! Watching the water go by under the boat looked like stars, like you were in hyperdrive. Getting to see dolphins, manatees, osprey, blue herons, and a wide variety of other wildlife was also a huge treat. We were fortunate to have a clear night and it was astounding to see the stars overhead, since we were away from the lights of the cities.
We loved our guides, Scott and Liz! They are both very friendly and knowledgeable. We have to admit we were a bit nervous before we started, since we hadn't done much kayaking before, let alone in the pitch dark. But Scott and Liz's calm demeanor and confidence really helped us calm our nerves. They provided so much information about what we were seeing and definitely enhanced our experience. They are a married couple and their interactions are really funny. You can also tell they have a great respect and genuine admiration for the nature around you. If you go, hopefully you'll get Scott and Liz!
We also really appreciated that these tour groups are kept small. We heard that some of the other tour companies can go out with groups of upwards of 30 paddlers. With our small group, we were able to see so much more and get more personal attention from the guides. We highly recommend Get Up and Go for this very reason.
If you're looking for a unique adventure, you definitely have to give bioluminescent kayaking a try!

Thank you SO much for joining us this season for our Bioluminescent kayaking adventure!! Capturing the bioluminescence is one thing, but experiencing it through our clear kayaks is next level and we're so glad you thought so too! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time out there with Scott and Liz too - they're the greatest! We're so glad you enjoyed our smaller group setting too! We prefer this so that everyone feels comfortable and heard if they have any questions for our guides. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We hope to see you again next season for another adventure!
