Paddle the Banana River in a clear kayak at sunset, then watch for glowing bioluminescence and local wildlife with a guide.

About this tour

Set out from Merritt Island as the Florida sky shifts toward sunset, then watch the water come alive beneath your clear kayak. This Cocoa Beach Clear Kayak Sunset and Bioluminescence Tour takes you along the Banana River, where the transparent hull offers a close view of the water and its changing colors.

Paddle with a guide through the river’s natural habitat and keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees, and shorebirds. As daylight fades, bioluminescence can make the water sparkle and glow around your kayak. The three-hour outing pairs a sunset paddle with a memorable chance to experience this natural phenomenon, whether you’re planning a romantic evening or a Florida bucket-list adventure.

Your tandem clear kayak, paddles, life vest, and flashlight are provided. Arrive 20 minutes early, wear quick-dry clothing and water or river shoes, and bring bug spray. Book your Cocoa Beach Clear Kayak Sunset and Bioluminescence Tour for an evening on the Banana River that’s best seen from the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.82 from 11 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Cocoa Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.4.
