Get Up and Go Kayaking - Titusville offers guided clear-kayak experiences operating near Palm Bay, Florida, with trips that launch into the waterways surrounding Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The business specializes in transparent kayaks that allow paddlers to view water and marine life beneath the hull while learning local ecology from experienced guides.
Trip offerings include a Bioluminescent Clear Kayak Tour that runs on the darkest nights and emphasizes a personalized paddling experience, a Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge Clear Kayak Tour that provides a leisurely two-hour opportunity to see dolphins, manatees, and diverse birdlife, and a VIP Filmed Bioluminescent Experience that pairs a small-group paddle with professional filming. The VIP experience is led by kayaking instructor and guide Justin Buzzi and includes extended time in secluded coves with filming equipment to capture the glow on video.
