With A Paddle in Paradise, you’ll enjoy one of the most authentic and intimate bioluminescent kayak and paddle board tours in Florida. Unlike large outfitters that pack 25+ people into one group, we keep tours small—around 12 guests, with a 15-person max—offering a peaceful, personalized experience and better views of the glowing water. We are close to Cocoa Beach and Orlando.

Each tour is locally guided by the owner, giving you a laid-back, guest-first vibe where you're treated like a friend, not a number. Paddle under the stars through the Indian River Lagoon, one of the only places in the world where bioluminescent dinoflagellates and comb jellies light up the water.

    It was a beautiful evening on the water. I went with my children and their grandparents. Nate was quite patient and we all felt safe. It was all the adults first time kayaking but we managed and it was an enjoyable experience. We got some nice family photos as well.

    Nate was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable and safety minded. Seeing the bioluminescent water was thrilling. The mosquitoes were terrible when we got there but Nate gave us some bug spray and we were fine for the entire trip.

  • Great family adventure.

    It was a lot of fun! My granddaughters and I agreed that Nate was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. Only disappointment was that the phytoplankton do not appear like in the picture in the ad but we felt it was still a good time.

  • Great tour - informative, fun, easy to access the water and paddle
