Florida Bioluminescent Kayak & Paddle Board Adventure
Description
With A Paddle in Paradise, you’ll enjoy one of the most authentic and intimate bioluminescent kayak and paddle board tours in Florida. Unlike large outfitters that pack 25+ people into one group, we keep tours small—around 12 guests, with a 15-person max—offering a peaceful, personalized experience and better views of the glowing water. We are close to Cocoa Beach and Orlando. Each tour is locally guided by Nate, Jess or Jeff, giving you a laid-back, guest-first vibe where you're treated like a friend, not a number. Paddle under the stars through the Indian River Lagoon, one of the only places in the world where bioluminescent dinoflagellates and comb jellies light up the water.

Very good experience, guide was very knowledgeable
Wow!!! This is a MUST DO experience!!! We had a blast...the amount of bioluminescent activity we saw was off the charts. The weather was perfect, flat calm with a hint of breeze. Our guide was amazing...full of interesting information about the area and the wildlife. We had an easy paddle out and back...never rushed. Bonus: our paddle boards had the most comfortable seats ever!! Highly recommend!!!
My daughter and I had an absolute blast! Seeing the bioluminescence glowing in the water was incredible, and the comb jellies were so fascinating to see up close. Our guide and her son were both so sweet, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The seats on the paddle board were also surprisingly comfortable, which made it so easy to just sit back, relax, and take in the experience. Such a fun and unique adventure for me and my daughter! We would definitely do this again!
August was the perfect time to see a lot of bioluminescence! Cindy & Nate were excellent hosts & guides
Great tour… long delay due to weather but it was worth it!
Arrive at least 30 minutes before scheduled departure because the signage is terrible and a bunch of different companies offer the same service at the same location.
While we expected to see the waters glow it wasn't like that but it was an awesome experience nevertheless. Jess did a great job helping to put newbies to paddling at ease. Her botes (yes spelled like that) were unique and allowed much room for looking around. Very stable and comfortable. The Jellies were particularly fascinating and glowed like plasma balls when touched. The waters glowed with each stroke of the paddle. We saw a friendly Manatee welcoming us as a bonus. Jess took extra trouble to take photos for us. All in all a treasured experience. Will do it again.
I think this is the better company to travel with because of the sit on top paddle boards, which was way more fun than a clear kayak. I recommend this tour highly! The tour guide was great too.
Amazing experience with my young adult boys.. it’s hard now a days to get them excited anbout annything and they loved it !!! oh and we saw manatees and scooped up jellyfish 🪼they actually glowed and lit up light electricity . It was our first and wouldn’t mind doing it again . Our tour guide was amazing and she rocks ! Love the fact that no gators around lol
Super fun. Staff is super knowledgeable about the bioluminescence. Well lit parking a lot with lots of parking spaces and the equipment was well maintainedWould definitely do this again.
