About - Sunset & Bioluminescence Tour

Let our friendly guides lead you on an amazing evening kayak adventure. After a lesson on paddling, we'll head into a gorgeous sunset to Horseshoe Crab Island.

We'll beach our vessels and explore the island while enjoying a beautiful sunset. We'll walk out on the sandbar with small nets as we search for the comb jellyfish, horseshoe crabs, fish, and stingrays. Our guides will take gorgeous photos of your group to share with you after the tour ends.

After sunset, we'll paddle into the night and view the stars overhead and watch the Comb Jelly fish light up the water. We often see dolphins and manatees! There are more manatees in the Indian River Lagoon than anyplace in the world. We also use our super bright led lighting systems to illuminate the water below so you can see fish and other wildlife below.

About - Bioluminescence & Stargazing

At this launch time, it is very dark and the stars shine bright against the night sky. We'll search for bioluminescent comb jellyfish and other interesting wildlife. We also use our super bright led lighting systems to illuminate the water below so you can see fish and other wildlife below. Our friendly guides will give instruction and set you up for the adventure. We recommend downloading a star gazing app and to view the constellations above. Enjoy the stars in the water and in the sky the entire time on this tour!

We offer Clear 2-Person Kayaks, Clear Single Kayaks, and Paddleboards outfitted with our superbright LED lighting systems for our tours.

We end the tour in the same location that we started. Your tour guides will share pictures with you after your adventure.

Arrive early for safety briefing

Getting there 15-30 minutes before the tour starts ensures you can settle in and receive important safety instructions.
