Clear Kayak Bioluminescence Tour

Oh my gosh!! How to explain?? Exhilarating at times for sure but the best part of our trip ao far!! Sammie was sooo sweet and wow she knew everything there was to know about the area, the wildlife and most importantly the reason for our trip….the bioluminescent algae!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Amazing bioluminescent kayak tour! Sean Paul, and Ricky were awesome guides. Fun, memorable experience!

We drove out to Titusville to Haulaway Canal to see the bioluminescence using a glass bottomed kayak, but the trip was SO much more. Our guide, Jorge, said to try to get there early, and we did. We went around the island while the sun set, and listened to birds and saw egrets, ibis, ospreys, herons, flamingos and so many more-even chickens. Then we headed for the canals. The canals were incredible. Just kayaking at night in the mangroves would have been great. But we passed Fred the alligator, held comb jellies, created bioluminescence with our hands and paddles, and did not experience a manatee "rodeo" (haha) for which I was grateful. Jorge was a fountain of knowledge about the unparalleled biodiversity of the area, AND his his day job is working at a job related to one of the launches we saw so he talked to us about that and about the night sky and how starlight is us looking back in time ...just such a multi faceted experience. As we were headed back, a curious dolphin showed up to play. It's a good trip when every single day we think "Wow; it can't get better than this !" The next day, based on our conversations, Jorge alerted us that the booster from the launch was going to be in Port Canaveral, so we saw that, too! Thank you, Jorge for being such an extraordinary guide: we will come back with our family.

Zoey was an exceptional guide. The tour was an amazing and interactive learning experience.

We visited in mid-to-late April, and unfortunately the bioluminescence was not very visible at that time of year — so that part of the experience was a bit limited. However, our guide Jorge was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and explained a lot about the local environment and wildlife, which made the trip enjoyable despite the conditions. We really appreciated his effort and enthusiasm. Overall, it was still a good experience, but if your main goal is to see strong bioluminescence, I would recommend going later in the summer (around May–July). Also, definitely bring bug spray and wear long sleeves and pants — otherwise you might end up like me, becoming an all-you-can-eat buffet for mosquitoes and bugs 😅

This tour was amazing! Our guide was Jorge and he was just stellar! I got to learn about the wildlife with the prettiest views!! Can't recommend this enough!

Jorge is a wonderdul and knowledgeable tour guide! The tour was a highlight of our vacation!

Brandi was great. We were the only ones and she was so making my 9 year old feel comfortable and answering questions.

The tour guides were very friendly and super informative. You even get to hold the jelly comb and watch it glow in your hand. Thank you both for a wonderful time!
