Description

Paddle in the magical, bioluminescent glow on this shimmering night adventure at the Space Coast - Final Tour of the Season, Don't Miss It! You will be amazed as every movement of water created by you, your paddle craft, and swimming sea creatures, produces a stunning fluorescent glow! Jumping mullet look like underwater fireworks, and your splashing paddle is like neon paint splatter!  This is a night paddle on the Space Coast, one of the few places on earth this occurs - no need to travel to Puerto Rico or Thailand! The beautiful, vibrant trail of light is created by tiny natural organisms called dinoflagellates that thrive during the warmest summer months, making this a seasonal tour.  This adventure is super unique, will captivate, and leave you buzzing for days! We'll meet at the kayak launch at the Cocoa Beach Country Club/Community Center. After a safety briefing we'll match you with quality, fitted gear and get on the water. Then we'll paddle the shallow waterway, enjoying the bioluminescent glow below and the starry sky above.

However, we take you the locations it's most concentrated, and on evenings where there is less external light from the moon for a high chance of visibility. Location and date are subject to change.
