What To Expect
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.

The magical side of Florida

5.00Such a peaceful experience. The guide was knowledgeable, gave us enough info but also gave us time to enjoy the trip. The comb jelly super cool. I was hoping for more but I know it Isa nature so you have to appreciate what you see! The other wildlife made the trip as well. The black drum sound was awesome. The night herrings flying by was spectacular. We also had a small dolphin swim by and surface just enough for us to see. I don’t think the other kayaks got to see it but my Juana’s and I were lucky for a quick glance. I highly recommend this tour. It was easy paddling and so enjoyable!

5.00Super cool experience got to see the bioluminescence and got to see beautiful stars and comb jellies! Very friendly and easygoing guides and I would recommend to a friend. We went in October so it wasn’t too cold either but definitely got a little wet and definitely bring bug spray in preparation!
Definitely a “must do”! Totally unique experience!

5.00This was so worth it. My party of 4 (Soul Sisters) annual vacation to FL was topped off with this tour. It was really fun to see the water glow and was a bonus to see it flowing directly beneath us. Terrence was a great tour guide and shared his knowledge with us. We enjoyed it so much, that we plan on going on the Manatee and Dolphin tour next year. Just pieces of advice: As much as I loved the Clear Kayak, you sit lower in it. It is more like a seatless canoe. not recommended if your short as I am (4'5") we had to use more arm power and stretch over more. Next time will be in a regular kayak as you sit a little higher. I would also add that you use deep woods bugs spray, We had just the reg bug spray and assuming with the water it was not very preventative.
Surprisingly Awesome!

5.00Booked the bioluminescence late tour on a Thursday night. As it was late in the season, I was cautiously optimistic about how luminescent the waters would actually be or if we'd see anything at all. It was just my brother and I and Jeremiah, our tour guide. Fortunately it was a dark night and the temperature was perfect. Jeremiah was very knowledgeable about the whole area, including wildlife, trees, and, of course the focus - the waters. It was a great experience and the waters really did light up as we paddled and played with the luminescent creatures. Would highly recommend this tour. Unfortunately it wasn't bright enough for pictures with cell phones, but worth it.
Low bioluminescence

2.00The expectation was very high according to the photos they put up, however it was not possible to see even 10% of algae, although I understand that it is a nature issue if I think the Enterprise should be realistic in saying that we will find so much, since they go every day to the place and know if there is a good amount of algae, or if on the contrary there is almost nothing, as happened yesterday. The guide went far ahead of the group on several occasions, so we were left behind, and being a night experience the idea was that we would stick together.
Great Experience!!
