Near Orlando and beyond the theme parks. This is one of Florida’s most unique nighttime experiences and often a highlight of our guests’ trip. Many guests return to experience both the sunset and full-night glow.

Every movement creates a glowing blue shimmer beneath you. Conditions vary nightly.

During off-peak bioluminescence months, guests may also encounter comb jellies—another unique and mesmerizing natural glow.

What to expect

  1. Merritt Island
    2h
    Our guides will take you on a beautiful night time adventure into Bioluminescence on the Indian River Lagoon. You will learn to kayak or paddleboard with our instructors as the sun sets and creates a beautiful palette of pinks, oranges and blues.

    We paddle out to horseshoe crab island and watch the sun set on another day in paradise. Explore the island with your group and meet new friends. Take this time to walk on the sand bar to look for wildlife such as horseshoe crabs and bioluminescent comb jellies. Cup the water in your hands and watch the brilliant stars appear! Take a short swim in the bioluminescence and make your own "glow angels".

    After the sun sets, the magic of bioluminescence begins. It's hard to describe the beautiful colors of bioluminescence. The fish glow an otherworldly blue as they swim below your paddleboard or kayak. It's an incredibly magical experience.

    This experience is 2 hours from start to finish with 1.5 hours of guaranteed time on the water.
