Amazing bucket list experience! - I cannot recommend this tour enough. Lucas, our guide, was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone felt safe and was fun to converse with. The place that we launched from had some light pollution but Lucas explained that they use this body of water because the deepest it gets is 8 feet or so. They provide life vests and give a safety talk and walk any newcomers through how to use their kayak. He took our group to 2 islands and let us get out if we wanted to and swim in the bioluminescence. The experience was on my bucket list and was absolutely worth it. My suggestion, do your research to see if you’re going when the bioluminescence is brighter and when the moon is darker. Also don’t forget to bring a tip for your guides because they really are so amazing!

Beautiful Evening - The bioluminescence paddle was beautiful! Such a fantastic night. I felt very comfortable paddling at night because the guide was so professional, knowledgeable, and fun. The warm water and the "glow" was perfect. This is a must while visiting Florida. And Adventures in Florida knows how to do it!

Amazing bioluminescence! - This was an amazing experience! We did another bioluminescence tour in Puerto Rico several years ago, and this was so much better. The bioluminescence was unbelievable! I was a bit worried about venturing out into the ocean in the dark, but the water was calm and we were all in a group with little lights on each kayak. We were so mesmerized by the biolumninescence. Recommend wearing bug spray as I got eaten alive by something out there - I don't think it was mosquitos but I had at least 50 tiny little bites all over my body, almost looked like little flea bites.

Amazing experience! - Highly recommend this kayak tour. This was our first time seeing bioluminescence in the water and it was unreal! Bill and Gina did an amazing job guiding us through the Indian River and are so knowledgeable as well. They love what they do and it shows.

Played it safe - Jason and Lucas did a great job despite the weather not cooperating. Seas were choppy due to tropical storm effecting the area. They kept the group together and in safe areas where we could enjoy the bioluminescence. We had two kids in the group so kudos for them.

Overall good - Overall A really good experience and seeing the bioluminescence was really spectacular. However instructions to the place we not correct but we found it in the end. The tour only last 1hr 30 minutes and at times the guide did not appear very interested and coming back seemed very keen to get back
