Highlights
  • Beacon 42 Boat Ramp - The Clear Kayak Florida Bioluminescence Tour in Titusville offers an experience you do not want to miss. See majestic sea creatures, gaze at the bright star-lit sky, and experience the wonder of bioluminescence.

Florida is home to two types of bioluminescence, which varies from season to season. In the colder months, the Bioluminescent Comb-Jellyfish takes over our lagoons. These creatures have a unique ability to light up and glow from the water. On our tour, you will get a chance to hold them and watch them light up. Don’t worry though, these jellyfish don’t sting!

In the summer, the dinoflagellate plankton are present and turn the water into a bright neon blue. Every stroke from your paddle creates a beautiful ripple, neon effect. Watch fish swim underneath your clear kayak as they dart by like shooting stars. You might even see dolphins jump from the water, which looks like fireworks.

The sight alone makes the Space Coast an incredible destination for some awe inspiring adventuring. Come join Florida-Adventurer and experience a sight that you’ll never forget.

Please book in advance as this bioluminescence tour tends to book out two weeks ahead of time.

Awesome Bio Night - The guides were knowledgable and fun. We saw lots of bio activity, got to see a rocket on the launch pad, tons of shooting stars, our group had great energy and our guides were awesome. I recommend the clear kayaks! Thank you Andrew, Clint & Nick!! See you again soon.

Excellent Adventure in Florida - This is an excellent adventure for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to experience something different in Florida. The bioluminescent algae was bright and plentiful especially under the clear kayaks. The fish lit up the water as they swam from our paddle strokes. It was a clear dark night so the stars were incredible, our group saw 3 shooting stars. Our guides Nick and Clint were great, both were knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. This is a great tour group.

Wonderful Biolumiscense Trip! - Clint was very good at what he does, The Bioluminescense were outstanding! We loved the trip!! With Bug Spray on we didn't have issues out on the water, but on land the bugs were bothering us.

Conditions Were Not Right to See Bioluminescent Sights Shown in Ads on the Night We Went - Our guide, Emmitt, was great! Despite not being able to see bioluminescent sights, he made the best of the situation and showed us wildlife (horseshoe crabs, fish, and tiny cone jellyfish).

Good Experience Overall But Not a Great Tour for Those That Kayak - I just finished this tour last evening with my family (we were a party of 5 adults). The pros: Brian (our guide) was a very entertaining fellow, and he brought us to a spot where we could see luminescent waters and FISH literally jumping into some of the kayaks. They provided my whole party with sturdy two-seater kayaks, paddles, glow sticks, and life jackets with the necessary safety features. FYI: skip the clear kayaks; they are not worth the money or the work to paddle them. The other guides on the tour were also amiable and took safety seriously. I would have liked to have given it four stars, but here are a few cons: We got in the water 30 minutes late. We watched several other tours bring in larger groups than ours ahead of us, who all started on time. When we were finally allowed to enter the water, we were instructed to stay close together—very close. My husband and I are experienced kayakers, and not everyone else is. Fair enough. HOWEVER.... During most of the tour, our kayak was constantly getting rammed into, and I took a hit to the head with a paddle twice. We tried breaking away within a safe distance of the group but were told we had to stay very close, which meant more bumper car action.I almost felt like we were being treated like toddlers. Heading back, the water was a bit choppy and a few in our group were struggling to get back to the point that we offered to tow one of them in. The cons aside, my family really did enjoy this extraordinary experience. The view of the stars was spectacular. I'm a Space Coast local and would return to this area to kayak again, but I probably would go with a different company.

Thousands of mosquitos - So many mosquitos. The group was too large. Seats on the clear bottom boats are very uncomfortable. The range in the level of experience among the group made for a long kayak. A lot of people didn’t know how to kayak which makes it pretty boring for more experienced kayakers because we had to keep stopping for other people in our group. Seeing the bioluminescence and animals was cool but not worth it because of all of the above.

Don't book with Flordia Adventures use BK Adventures - We booked this tour over the phone to make sure we knew everything we needed for the tour and that the weather was going to cooperate. The guy seemed nice and knowledgeable. He gave us directions as to where to meet our guide (they don't have a physical address). I also got an email telling us where to meet our guide. We arrived on time to our location. As we were looking for our guide, we got a phone call telling us out location changed. He starting giving us directions to the new location at a rapid pace. We were so frazzled that we messed up the directions. I tried calling back and he did not answer. We finally found the location at 7:43 for an 8 pm tour. Nothing was clearly marked and the guide was no where to be found. We called the guy who had called us back and exchanged multiple calls. He finally said the guide must of left. We were confused, our tour was scheduled for it 8 pm and we arrived at 7:43. He said he sent an email about the change of location, but I never received that email (I even asked for proof of that email which he.could not provide). We were frustrated and sad that were not going on our tour. The guy on the phone was rude and not helpful. At first he said he could cancel/refund or reschedule. When we decided to take the refund, he refused. He was unprofessional and nasty and did not want to help in anyway. If he was kind and tried to help us in anyway, this could of been a much different situation. Luckily, BK adventures was on site (clearly marked) and made room for us on their 8 pm tour. The chaotic situation was solved quickly once BK assisted us. Don't book with Florida Advenuture use BK adventures!

Unsafe weather conditions? They don't care. - OK so when we entered the park, there's more than one Kayak company that's on the sides until you get to the end, we didn't know which group was ours since there were multiple, so we had to ask each guide where our company was. That took longer than we expected. Then because alot of other people didn't know where it was we started almost a half hour late.That's not my issue. We are novice kayakers, and they never mentioned it was only 2 person kayaks, not single. I have gone down the Nantahala river and so has my girlfriend. So this particular day, there was about 10+ mph winds due to a storm that was forming. You could hear thunder and they said it was far enough out where it wouldn't affect us, well the wind kept picking up, as we started our journey with guide the waves were hitting the side of our Kayak we tried staying center but we tipped over, it was too deep where we couldn't touch the ground (im 6'1) so there was a assistant guide that said it was their first day, so he helped my girlfriend get out of the water and they both injured themselves,scraping against sand and mangrove roots, I didn't. So the guide ended up bringing us all out of the water and said it was canceled due to the wind. As we sat in our car changing clothes we noticed they left us and just went back out in those dangerous conditions. I don't know what happened after but the guide lied several times saying weather was fine and that it was canceled. With the risks involved, I think he wanted the money more than making sure people were safe, I'm sure owner will look up previous weather report and I want to see what you have to say, kayaking at night is dangerous, but unsafe weather conditions with novice kayakers is a risk they are OK taking because they make you sign forms to prevent them of their responsibility, so they can just do whatever they want. They didn't probly even make a report of what happened, because if they did they should've made sure we were OK by following up. Instead all we got was a thank you (processing payment). Safety comes second to money for this company.
