Don't miss out on Bioluminescent Kayaking at Haulover Canal in Titusville. Kayaking through bioluminescent water is truly a magical sight to behold, and it's an experience that you'll remember all your life. Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon. Our cooler water bioluminescent experience is the Bioluminescent Comb-Jellyfish. These jellyfish light up blue when they are disturbed, creating a surreal and magical effect in the water. In the summer, dinoflagellates are present, which are single-celled, planktonic organisms. They naturally produce light so when the water is disturbed in which they are in a bright blue-green light glows. When you kayak through the sparkling water, you’ll feel like you are in another world. Florida-Adventurer’s Bioluminescence Kayaking Tour is locally owned and operated. We know the best spots in Merritt Island Nature Reserve. Our certified tour guides are knowledgeable about the area and they will share interesting facts about the bioluminescence and other wildlife we’re sure you’ll meet along the way. Please be sure to make your reservations early as this Florida kayak tour tends to book out 2 weeks in advance.

We loved our experience; the clear, star-filled sky, the commentary from our guide, Jeremiah, but especially the bioluminescence. You could see it coming from your paddle in the water, from your fingers as you dipped your hand in the water, and from the fish that would sometimes swim nearby. It was magical.

Such a cool experience! We saw a gator, manatee, and dolphin! Bioluminescence was bright blue and we even saw’s some jellies that glow too! Bring bug spray.

Easy to locate and navigate. Tour guides prepared and take safety seriously. Great information but allowed time to take it in. Able to see bioluminescent and even hold one of them thanks to tour guide. Only thing that was a disappointment was we booked two single kayaks and they put us in a double. That was not cool. In the end though great experience 👍
