Florida Adventurer | Kayak Tours (Florida Bioluminescence)

Welcome to Florida Adventurer | Kayak Tours, your guide to experiencing the magical phenomenon of Florida bioluminescence. Bioluminescence refers to the production and emission of light by living organisms, like fireflies, glow worms, glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, and marine life.

It results from a chemical reaction in which energy is released as light. The most common type found in Florida waters comes from tiny single-celled plankton called dinoflagellates. When conditions are right, usually in summer months, huge blooms of bioluminescent phytoplankton appear in the Indian River Lagoon, Mosquito Lagoon, and Banana River along Florida's east coast.

As fish swim through the water, they disturb the plankton and create an ethereal glow or bioluminescent trail behind them. Kayaking through these waters allows you to witness the extraordinary spectacle of bioluminescence firsthand. Your paddle strokes sparkle with brilliant blue light. Schools of fish streak by like underwater comets.

Even dolphins gliding gracefully through the water leave shimmering tracks behind them. It's a magical experience found in a few other places on Earth. We are Brevard County's experts in bioluminescent kayak tours. Our knowledgeable guides will lead night-time paddling excursions through the bioluminescent waters of the Indian River Lagoon, one of the best places in Florida to observe this phenomenon.

As a guest on our tour, you'll have the unique opportunity to glide through waters glowing with living light and learn about this intriguing natural wonder from our experienced staff.

In addition to bioluminescent kayaking, we also offer daytime eco-tours to explore the rich biodiversity of Brevard County, home to NASA's Kennedy Space Center and 72 miles of coastline known as Florida's Space Coast.

Our county has a fascinating history too, including long occupation by indigenous tribes, early Spanish settlements, and pioneers in the citrus industry. Modern Brevard features a high-tech industry along with agricultural enterprises, a lively arts scene, and protected green spaces perfect for outdoor recreation.

Familiar political representatives include Congressman Bill Posey, State Senator Tom Wright, and County Commissioner Kristine Zonka, among others serving districts within Brevard.
