Cocoa Beach/Merritt Island:Bioluminescent kayak tour Single Kayak

Experience the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence plankton and comb jellies on a kayak tour of the Indian River Lagoon. Paddle through the water and watch the water light up.
Experience one of Florida’s most unforgettable adventures with a guided bioluminescent tour from Brady-Yaks Tours & Rentals. Launching from Merritt Island—just minutes from Cocoa Beach and under an hour from Orlando—this 1.5-hour nighttime tour takes you deep into the Indian River Lagoon, where the water comes alive with a magical glow.

From May 15 through August 30, the lagoon is lit up by bioluminescent plankton. These tiny organisms sparkle with every paddle stroke, creating glowing trails behind your kayak or paddleboard. It’s like watching the stars fall into the water. The rest of the year, the focus shifts to bioluminescent comb jellies—gentle, glowing creatures that illuminate when touched. They’re completely safe and an incredible sight, especially for kids and families.

Our experienced guides lead every tour, sharing insights about the glowing organisms and the unique ecosystem of the lagoon. Whether you're a first-time paddler or an experienced adventurer, our stable, comfortable kayaks and paddleboards make the trip easy and relaxing for all ages.

As the sky darkens and the water begins to glow, you'll find yourself immersed in a one-of-a-kind experience that blends nature, science, and pure wonder. It's perfect for families, couples, and anyone looking to do something truly different.

Tours sell out quickly in the summer, so we highly recommend booking ahead to secure your spot.
