Full description
See the brightest bioluminescence now! Last minute spaces available; call to book.

Embark on a bioluminescence tour on the Indian River Lagoon, the most researched body of water for bioluminescence. Launch from the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge near Kennedy Space Center and experience the magic of the lagoon as it lights up with bioluminescent sea creatures.

Board a paddle raft, perfect for families with smaller children or those who prefer a bigger boat than a kayak. Paddle rafts are very buoyant and sturdy, making them fun for people of all ages and abilities. The rafts are steered by professional rafting guides, so you can leave the steering to them while you help paddle and watch the water glow with lighted dinoflagellates.

Enjoy a more intimate experience with smaller groups, allowing you to connect with the nature around you. On very dark nights, the water glows with each stroke of your paddle.

Learn about the Indian River Lagoon, an estuary fed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, making it a unique natural habitat. Discover how the high salt content in the water makes it a perfect home for dinoflagellates, which create a natural light to protect themselves.
