Description

Experience the magic of nature from the water in kayaks and/or paddle boards! See Dolphins and a beautiful sunset, bioluminescent Algea during the Summer months June - Sept, and bioluminescent comb jellies all year. Our tours feature personal care and small groups into a quiet region of the lagoon... Safe and easy, free from the crowds of other companies. Bioluminescent sparking comb jellies are in the water year round creating a truly phenomenal effect as you explore through the Banana River Lagoon Nature Preserve. Summer months of June through September are truly amazing with bioluminescent phytoplankton called Dinoflagellates. They set the water on fire lighting up everything that moves, including you if you choose to go of a swim.... It's an experience like no other! Choose Paddle Board or Kayak. Equipment, expert instruction , photos and parking are included.

Great date night!

My fiancée and I went and had such a great time! We picked a day without much moonlight and that helped see the bioluminescence really clearly! Very beautiful and fun date night !

Andrew was a great tour guide! The tour was very educational and lots of fun. We went to celebrate my mom’s bday and it was such a great experience! The experience was so unreal... Life literally comes to LIGHT 😉 we got lucky enough to accidentally go on a good moon cycle. My family and I enjoyed it so much, highly recommend. Girard was also so kind and helpful.
