Dive into an epic adventure with Florida-Adventurer.com’s Group Rafting Bioluminescence Tour at Haulover Canal, Titusville, just an hour from Orlando! This 90-minute #BioluminescenceRafting journey through the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is a total game-changer, lighting up the night with neon-blue sparkles that’ll leave you buzzing. Grab up to 10 friends, family, or coworkers for a group vibe that’s pure magic!
As dusk settles, hop onto our self-bailing rafts—perfect for everyone to paddle together—and watch the Indian River Lagoon come alive. Tiny dinoflagellates create a glowing light show with every stroke, turning fish into neon comets and waves into starry trails. On new moon nights (May–Oct), the bioluminescence pops, and you might even spot the Milky Way above, surrounded by stars above and below. Winter swaps dinoflagellates for glowing comb jellies, keeping the #TitusvilleRafting thrill alive year-round.
Our rockstar guides, experts in Haulover’s waters, kick things off with a safety briefing to keep first-timers and pros comfy. They’ll drop dope facts about the refuge’s wildlife—think manatees, dolphins, or herons—and its conservation story, making this #EcoTourism adventure as mind-blowing as it is fun. Suitable for all ages and skill levels, this tour’s group setup amps up the laughs and memories, unlike solo kayak trips.
From the glowing lagoon to the refuge’s wild beauty, this is Titusville’s must-do group experience. Book your Group Rafting Bioluminescence Tour with Florida-Adventurer.com and paddle into Haulover’s enchanted waters—spots go fast!
