Titusville Manatee, Sunset and Bioluminescence Kayak Tour 3 hr

Paddle through Florida’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge as daylight gives way to sunset and the water may begin to glow. This 3-hour Titusville Manatee, Sunset and Bioluminescence Kayak Tour brings together wildlife, birdwatching, and an after-dark natural spectacle.

Set out by kayak with a professional guide, PFD, and paddle. Along the way, West Indian manatees may roll and nuzzle nearby, while dolphins hunt in an adjacent cove. Continue toward Bird Island, a protected rookery where flocks of ibis, herons, egrets, pelicans, cormorants, and roseate spoonbills gather for the night. Watch the sky shift through sunset colors from the gently rocking water.

The final experience depends on the season: summer bioluminescence, winter comb jelly bioluminescence, or a starry, moonlit sky. The tour launches at Haulover Canal, about 20 minutes east of Titusville. Wear clothes that can get wet and bring water shoes, a towel, and a change of clothes. Book the Titusville Manatee, Sunset and Bioluminescence Kayak Tour for an evening on the water filled with wildlife and changing light.
