Paddle Merritt Island at sunset, watching for dolphins, manatees, and roosting birds beneath the distinctive NASA launch-pad skyline.

About this tour

As the sun sets over Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, the water and shoreline come alive. Join this 2-hour Titusville bioluminescence kayak tour for an evening paddle through a landscape where wildlife, fading light, and NASA’s launch pads share the horizon.

Set out from Haulover Canal with a professional guide, kayak, paddle, and PFD provided. Watch for dolphins rounding up dinner and manatees moving into the shallows for the night. Nearby, Mullethead Island, a federally protected rookery, fills with birds settling into their nests. Ibis, herons, egrets, pelicans, cormorants, and roseate spoonbills are among the species you may see, against the distinctive backdrop of the space center.

Wear clothes that can get wet and bring water shoes, plus a towel and change of clothes for afterward. A camera and dry bag are optional, though they are not useful for photographing bioluminescence. Choose this Titusville bioluminescence kayak tour for a guided sunset outing amid the refuge’s wildlife and striking coastal scenery.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.72 from 105 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator 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 6.6.
