Paddle the Indian River Lagoon after dark in a clear-bottom kayak and look for seasonal bioluminescence beneath the water.

About this tour

See Florida’s nighttime waterways come alive on a guided clear-bottom kayak tour through the Indian River Lagoon. This 1.5-hour Florida Bioluminescent Kayak Tour begins at Kiwanis Island Park, near Cocoa Beach, with a short introduction before you launch with your guide.

Paddle across the lagoon after dark and peer through the clear kayak bottom as you look for flashes of bioluminescence around your strokes. Seasonal dinoflagellates are typically visible from June to October, while comb jellies are typically seen from October to March. Fish may also appear below in favorable conditions. Your kayak, life jacket, paddle, dry bag, and phone dry case are provided, so you can focus on the water and the night sky. Dates around the new moon may bring darker skies and stronger visibility.

Bring water, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, sunglasses, and a towel. Join this Florida Bioluminescent Kayak Tour for a close-up view of the lagoon after dark.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1.
