What To Expect

Your 90-minute evening bioluminescence kayaking tour of the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge begins when you meet your guide and small group at the designated meeting point. Get familiar with your gear—including the kayak, paddle, and life jacket—before taking to the water.

Paddle through protected wetlands, learning more about the area and the magical bioluminescence as you keep an eye out for it. There is practically no light pollution here, meaning the conditions are great for seeing the natural wonder, as well as the dark night skies when the weather is clear.

Your guide will take you to the best places for seeing the bioluminescence, will keep you safe on the sea after dark, and will provide an experience that would be very hard for you to have independently.
