Paddle through Florida’s nighttime waters on an Orlando bioluminescence kayak tour, with glowing water and wildlife to watch.

About this tour

See Florida’s nighttime waters come alive on a 2-hour Orlando bioluminescence kayak tour. With every paddle stroke, the water can shimmer blue beneath your clear kayak, offering a close-up view of this natural glow.

Choose an earlier departure for sunset and wildlife, or a later outing for a darker, more immersive experience. Local guides lead the paddle and may help you spot dolphins, stingrays, and other marine life. During off-peak bioluminescence months, comb jellies may also appear, creating another striking natural glow. Conditions vary nightly, so each trip has its own character.

The tour lasts 120 minutes and provides a clear kayak or paddleboard, paddles, life vests, safety lights, and a dry bag for your keys and phone. Meet your guides by the boat docking area, where they’ll be wearing bright neon green Epic Guide vests. Arrive 30 minutes early; the tour starts on time. A moderate level of physical fitness is recommended.

Book this Orlando bioluminescence kayak tour for a memorable night on Florida’s waterways, away from the theme park crowds.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.44 from 196 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 4.8.
