Experience Overview:

Bioluminescent Kayaking Tour In Orlando

The bioluminescent kayaking tour occurs during the warm summer months when the waters of Florida's Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon come alive with single-celled microorganisms called dinoflagellates. These microorganisms produce a bright, breathtaking blue light called bioluminescence, which can be seen when the water is disturbed. Watch the water light up as you paddle through. This guided 90-minute tour gives you and your friends or family plenty of time to experience the magic and wonder of this natural phenomenon.

When you embark on the bioluminescence kayaking tour, you will be provided with a high-quality kayak, paddle, and life jacket that fits your size. Before setting off, the tour guide will review a water safety orientation. Don't worry if this is your first time kayaking; this tour is fun for all ages. Our trained and knowledgeable guides make safety their first priority. Your senses are in for a treat!

As you paddle through the warm waters, you'll witness the wonder of bioluminescence. Every movement will cause a stunning explosion of color in the water as the dinoflagellates create a trail of light. The trails of fish and mullets look like hundreds of blue-green underwater bottle rockets. Holding the water in your hand looks like stars. Come adventure with Florida-Adventurer in Titusville for bioluminescent kayaking and beautiful sights!.

Florida-Adventurer

Whether it is your 1st time on the water or your hundredth, the adventure is never the same twice - there is always something new to discover in the outdoors of our great state of Florida. Our owners grew up surfing, kayaking, boating and fishing on the waterways of central Florida. It was always a dream to make the water their office. So it made sense to continue their relationship with this amazing ecosystem, to do their part to be vigilant in their duties to the environment, and to educate the visitors of this great state with candor and comedy.
