This tour is available all year. Florida has not one but two types of bioluminescence. In the cooler months, our lagoons are inundated with Bioluminescent Comb-Jellyfish. These creatures emit blue-green light. The jellyfish will also light up in the palm of your hand, and don't worry, they don't sting! This immersive experience is a hit with kids and adults alike, and you'll be talking about it for months. In the summer, the dinoflagellate plankton thrives. Every stroke of your paddle lights up the water with a bright neon blue. The fish moving around look like colorful fireworks. See more with a clear kayak. Titusville/Merritt Island in Florida is home to the only bioluminescent bay in the continental US, offering visitors the chance to witness this incredible display of nature up close. As one of only four companies authorized to work on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, we offer bioluminescent tours that are guided and safe. Our expert guides will take you on a journey that is both informative and fun, sharing their knowledge and passion for this natural phenomenon. These Florida kayak tours book out 2 weeks in advance. Please make your reservations in advance.

Not what we expected- lack of safety

My experience was not what I expected, and I believe the tour conditions should be communicated much more clearly before booking. This tour requires at least an intermediate level of kayaking experience, as spending so much time on the water especially in strong wind conditions can be very difficult for beginners. The initial explanation was extremely basic and not enough to make someone feel properly prepared. I also expected the tour to be more closely guided, let us know about the ecosystem, especially since it is advertised as a guided experience. However, each person goes alone in their kayak (in our case in a tandem), and the guide stays quite far away without providing clear instructions or ongoing support during the activity. In my case, this created a sense of insecurity, particularly because there was strong wind and a nearby storm, making the kayak difficult to control and causing moments of panic. Regarding safety, the life jacket I was given was far too large, and there was no proper check to ensure the equipment fit correctly before starting. In addition, the sky was completely cloudy that night, so it was impossible to see the bioluminescence. I believe that if weather conditions make the main experience impossible, customers should be informed in advance and offered the option to reschedule or receive a refund, even if they need to take a %. It seemed clear that the guide already knew visibility would be poor. After taking tours all over the world, this was unfortunately one of the least organized experiences I have had. I am not trying to discredit the company, but there are several important areas that need improvement, especially customer service, safety measures, guidance, and expectation management. Perhaps because we were only two people, we did not receive the necessary attention, or the guide assigned to us lacked sufficient experience.

Did Not see any illuminescence at all, maybe it wasn't season, but we paid money to see water glowing which we didn't see, so make a long story short pretty much a waste of time and money. And got attacked by mosquitoes

We had a really good time. Our guide was awesome. It was my wife's first time in a kayak we definitely recommend. We'll definitely be back again.
Disappointing refund policy for canceled tour

We booked the Clear Kayak Bioluminescence Tour while visiting from out of town and were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the tour was canceled due to weather, which we completely understand and do not fault the company for. What was frustrating was the resolution. Instead of a refund, we were only offered a raincheck. Since we live over 1,000 miles away, that is not a practical option for us and effectively means we paid for an experience we never received. Weather cancellations happen, but a fair customer policy matters. For local customers, a raincheck may work. For travelers, especially those visiting from far away, a refund would be the reasonable solution. Very disappointing experience overall.
Beautiful night kayaking.

The water needs to be warm enough to see the bioluminescence. So we didn’t see any blue, but we still enjoyed the guide and the evening on the water. We saw some tree, crabs and fish.
Don’t do when water is cold.

Even though our guide was nice, I do not recommend going in February. Cold weather made it hard to see anything. Not at all worth the money spent. We did see a dolphin. That was cool but not what we expected to experience. Would do again in the summer time when water is warm.

Disappointed in the overall trip. Only seen a couple jellies and the guide barely talk to us. We really didn’t know what was going on just followed the guide.

This is the third bioluminescence tour I’ve been on, but the first with this company. It was by far the best experience. Josh and DJ were absolutely wonderful! They made the tour fun, educational, and comfortable. They made sure the whole group stayed where we needed to, so it felt safer than other tours too which made it possible to relax and enjoy. The bioluminescence was beautiful and we learned a ton. I cannot recommend launching from Kiwanis enough if you’re sensitive to mosquitos. The bugs were much better compared to other locations I’ve launched from in the past.

Wow . So this company has a MO for scamming. Please read other reveiws on Yelp. Made reservation at 8:30 for a 11pm tour . Was called and texted by Josh who said he needed to talk to me ASAP about the tour . When he finally called me back it was to say that the tour I booked wasn't going to happen but we could participate in the tour that was 45 minutes further away. Well considering the time of night we were not going to return home at 2am. I told Josh this - who responded to me that it was my responsibility to call the office the next day to track down the refund. This was annoying as a company that had to cancel a tour the day before (PTI Florida adventures) immediately refunded the price. When I finally checked my credit card statement I saw that Florida Adventurer did not make a refund . I emailed the company and received a call from Josh the next day . He told me that I was marked as a "no show" and I would not receive a refund . He denied everything I said and would not refund my money . I said would write a review and contact the credit card company . He was rude and hung up . Can't imagine how I would be treated in person . I go to Cocoa Beach several times a year, bring friends with me and go out with residents there . I'll be sure to let everyone know . I'll be contacting my credit card company , better business bureau and local consumer advocates in the area as well as contacts at scam podcasts . This is not a "he said- she said " this a full blown scam operation. Read the rest of the reviews .... I should have .
