About

  • Best to go during May to early November for Dinoflagellate Bioluminescence, while Comb Jelly Bioluminescence is an awesome experience during cooler months
  • During the warm summer months the waters of Florida's Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon come alive with single-celled microorganisms called dinoflagellates.
  • Every movement in the water produces a sold-light called bioluminescence! From the swirl of your paddle or the trail of a speeding school of mullet (which look like hundreds of blue-green underwater bottle rockets), to the ghostly glow of a slow moving manatee or sting ray, every movement is illumined. No need to travel to Puerto Rico to see this phenomenon. It's right here in sunny Central Florida. You will be on the water for 90 minutes.

Adventure Tips

Mosquitoes can be active near the water at night; insect repellent helps keep the experience comfortable.

Use Quick-Dry Clothes

Light, moisture-wicking clothing enhances comfort during the paddle and helps manage humidity.

Avoid Bright Lights

Minimize flashlight use to preserve night vision and bioluminescence visibility for everyone on the tour.
