My sister and I had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Bioluminescence Night Kayaking Tour at Merritt Island. We loved our guide Jared. Jared was an extremely personable young man with a wealth of knowledge regarding several species of fish, alligators, manatees, birds and many animals found on the Wildlife Refuge. He also shared his knowledge of the three types of mangrooves we encountered while kayaking. My sister and I had a wonderful experience with a grunt fish, that remained under our kayak for a very long time..and of course, Jared informed us all about this type of fish. We wore water shoes, which were very comfortable, and lots of mosquito repellent, as it was a calm evening and many mosquitoes were around. Jared was a fabulous guide and shared a wealth of information regarding the Kennedy Space Center and the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge co-existence.I would highly recommend Jared as your tour guide!
