Helpful, skilled guide for a memorable night! - Andrew was absolutely amazing! It was just our family so we had a private tour. He helped our teenage daughter become a pro at paddleboarding. We found some great sites with bioluminescent algae and jellies and even saw a couple of dolphins. One even surfaced right next to us! Thanks for a memorable night.

Would do this every single summer! - This was an absolutely magical experience for us. I would come back to visit this area of Florida again & again solely to do this again and again. Our guide, Andrew, was so knowledgeable & kind, he explained so many things to us & took us to the perfect spots to see wildlife and the bioluminescence! If you’re on the fence about booking this experience, you just have to do it. I was nervous about kayaking, especially at night, but it was an experience I will never forget & was worth every penny!

Amazing time again! - We had another amazing time with Andrew from Sobe Surf!! The bioluminescent algae isn’t in full swing yet but we were able to see a bunch of comb jellies which was really cool to see! We were able to see some dolphins and manatees as well :). We will definitely be booking with them anytime we visit Cocoa Beach!
