About This Adventure

Experience an exclusive VIP bioluminescent adventure this summer! Paddle in clear kayaks with only one other guest, enjoy extended playtime in hidden coves, and have your journey filmed with professional equipment. Led by kayaking legend Justin Buzzi, this unique tour offers a rare chance to capture stunning bioluminescence on video.

In the summer of 2023 we are introducing an all new VIP bioluminescent experience.

What makes it so special?

RAD CONTENT:

  • We will film your epic experience, edit the video and send it to you afterward! Boom! Surely, you will be the envy of all your friends.

VIP STATUS:

  • This customized paddle is a private experience in our clear kayaks and limited to only two guests. That means, one-on-one time with any marine animals that swing by!

EXTENDED LENGTH:

  • This tour lasts up to three hours (1.5 hours longer than our public tour).

MORE PLAY TIME:

  • Stop along the tour, get out of the kayak and play with the sparkling water along a hidden cove. Sky’s the limit here: Use a net to create swirls around you, splash around, see the neon blue dots roll off your skin...just to name a few.

PADDLE WITH THE FOUNDER:

  • Justin Buzzi is a legend in these parts. As the founder of Get Up And Go Kayaking and a native Floridian, he’s spent a gazillion hours out on the water. After six-plus years filming the bioluminescence and providing tours, he’s figured out how to successfully capture the content. Not an easy task! Low light combined with fast action make it nearly impossible unless you have super fancy camera gear.

EXTREMELY LIMITED:

  • These private tours are only offered on select nights during the bioluminescent season. We've chosen some amazing nights to make this experience worth it!

PRO CAMERA EQUIPMENT:

  • The experience will be filmed on Sony A7Siii and high end lenses to capture the bio at its brightest.

This is the only opportunity to capture a bioluminescence experience on video anywhere in the world! Please book ahead to secure your spot on this one-of-a-kind experience.
