Bioluminescent Kayak Tour in Cocoa Beach

Overview

Explore the waters of the Cocoa Beach lagoon on a night kayak trip to observe the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence. This visual spectacle is produced by dinoflagellates, harmless microscopic algae that emit a bright blue light with every movement of the water. Accompanied by experienced guides, you will paddle through the darkness where every stroke and every movement of the kayak illuminates the water. This excursion allows you to observe local wildlife, including fish, dolphins, and manatees, whose silhouettes are revealed by the luminous flashes. The activity lasts 2 hours and includes kayak rental, paddle, life jacket (PFD), and professional guidance. The group can accommodate up to 42 participants.
