Bioluminescence Clear Kayaking or Clear Paddleboarding Tour

Beginner and Kid Friendly! • Just South of Cocoa Beach • 8pm and 10pm Tours • Duration: 1.5 - 2 Hours

We’ll paddle into the night as the Indian River Lagoon comes alive with some of nature’s most interesting wildlife and explore the beautiful wonders of bioluminescence on a clear paddleboard or clear kayak.

Bioluminescence Tours Run from the Months of May through September

IMPORTANT: We offer 2 times for the Bioluminescence Clear Paddle Tour

8pm - Sunset Bioluminescence Clear Paddle Tour

Join us for an unforgettable adventure on a clear paddleboard or clear kayak. After a quick lesson, our friendly guides will lead you from the shores of the Indian River Lagoon into the stunning sunset towards Horseshoe Crab Island. Keep your eyes peeled for horseshoe crabs, dolphins, and manatees, and let your guides snap photos of your group to share with you later. Once the sun sets, the magic continues as we paddle into the night and gaze up at the starry sky above and witness the bioluminescence of plankton dinoflagellates illuminating the water beneath us.

Duration: 1.5 to 2 Hours

10pm - Bioluminescence Clear Paddle and Stargazing

The night sky is exceptionally dark and the stars sparkle brilliantly during this later launch, with the bioluminescence adding an enchanting ambiance as we paddle. Our local guides will provide guidance to prepare you for this thrilling experience and we suggest downloading a stargazing app to better observe the constellations above.

Duration: 1.5 to 2 Hours

BOTH Bioluminescence Clear Paddle Tour Times:

For the best view, we highly recommend enjoying your adventure on a sturdy clear paddleboard. You can also sit if you like and enjoy the water from a closer vantage point in a clear kayak. 

We end the tour in the same location we started. Your tour guides will share pictures with you after your adventure.

Please keep in mind the amazing plankton dinoflagellates bioluminescence seen in most photos is seasonal and best viewed June – September.
