What happens on the day
Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to witness nature's light show up close and personal during this Bioluminescent Paddle Adventure in the Indian River Lagoon!
Home to over 10,000 species of plants and animals, the Indian River Lagoon is one of the most biodiverse lagoon ecosystems in the Northern Hemisphere. As a result, it is a kayaker's paradise and only a short distance from Orlando! It is also one of the few places in the world where you can witness the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence! This light show, put on by living organisms in the water, is rare and best observed on calm, moonless evenings.
Your launch site will be selected a day or two prior to your adventure by your professional guide to maximize the biolumnescence and avoid wind and crowds. In either a kayak, a tandem kayak, or a canoe, you and your group will paddle through the glowing waters of the Indian River Lagoon for approximately 2 hours. As you go, each dip of your paddle will light up the surrounding waters in a magical show. If you are really lucky, you may even spot a manatee lighting up the lagoon as it makes its way through the waters! You'll be in awe of your surroundings.
A great adventure for paddlers of all levels, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness one of nature's greatest shows!

FAQs
What is bioluminescence?
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. It is a rarely seen light show put on by plankton beneath the water's surface. As the water is disturbed, the plankton light up and put on a spectacular show!
What equipment is provided?
You will have your choice of a single kayak, tandem kayak or canoe. Please specify your preference at the time of booking. You will also be provided with life jackets, paddles, headlamps, glow sticks and all other equipment needed. Drinking water will be provided.
What should I bring?
It can get chilly on the water so a jacket or cap is recommended if the weather requires. The tour runs rain or shine so waterproof jackets are helpful in the case of rain. All other equipment for the adventure is provided, including drinking water.
Are children welcome on the tour?
Absolutely! Children ages 6 and up are welcome, but they must know how to swim in the case of emergency. Small children will be paired with their adult chaperone in a tandem kayak.
Are there any weight restrictions?
No, but please let us know at the time of booking if you weigh more than 225 pounds so arrangements can be made for an appropriately sized vessel.
