Perfect for all ages and experience levels, our nighttime tours take you through the glowing waters of the Indian River Lagoon during the warm summer months, when bioluminescence is at its brightest.

What Makes This Tour So Special?

During the summer, the waters around Cocoa Beach come alive with glowing plankton called Dinoflagellates. These microscopic organisms emit a radiant blue light when disturbed—something you’ll see firsthand as your kayak glides through the water, lighting up with each stroke of your paddle. It’s not just a tour—it’s an adventure through nature’s own light show!

Each movement you make sets off a glowing chain reaction beneath the surface. Your paddle stirs up shimmering swirls. Fish dart by in bursts of light. Even your hands or feet in the water will leave glowing trails. This is nighttime kayaking at its most magical.

Our moonlight kayaking tours take you away from the busy beaches and into a serene world of glowing waters and peaceful nighttime skies. As you paddle under the stars, you’ll be guided by knowledgeable and friendly tour leaders who know the best spots to witness the brightest displays of bioluminescence.
