What To Expect

Tours are typically out of Banana River Park, a waterfront park with ideal bioluminescence viewing in the evening, and very convenient access to the major highways in and out of town.  All tours start at twilight and last for 1.5hrs. Afterwards, some enjoy swimming around in the water.  We have a very easy beach-style launch area, so walking into and out of the water is no problem at all.  We provide everything including the kayaks of your choice, paddles, life vests, and glow sticks. Things you can bring include bottled water, headlamp or small flashlight, and a towel to wipe off with afterwards.  These tours are about fun, we all enjoy ourselves.  It is not a high stress environment, rather it is relaxed, casual, and flexible.  

This is a marine environment, the water is salty.  It is relatively shallow and the water is safe to swim in.  There are no alligators, no threatening critters of any kind.  If you wish to bring anything at all for your protection, a pair of water shoes for walking into and around the shoreline is all we would suggest,  The guides are typically barefoot though.
