Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

During the warm summer months, the waters of Florida's Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon come alive with single-celled microorganisms called dinoflagellates (May - early Nov), which creates a cloudy blue-green glow. In the cooler Florida months (late Nov - April), bioluminescent Comb Jellies congregate in the protected waters of the Indian River Lagoon. Living in the most bio-diverse estuary in North America, Comb Jellies are clear, glob-like creatures that, despite their name, do not sting! So, as you paddle the calm waters laced with mangroves and palm trees, you can catch and hold these gentle glowing creatures. They're right at your fingertips while having a safe, awe-inspiring kayak adventure with those who share your enthusiasm for new and unique experiences. Every movement in the water produces a light called bioluminescence! From the swirl of your paddle or the trail of a speeding school of mullet (which look like hundreds of blue-green underwater bottle rockets) to the ghostly glow of a slow-moving manatee or sting ray, every movement is illumined.
