In the cooler Florida months, bioluminescent Comb Jellies gather in the sheltered waters of the Indian River Lagoon. Residing in North America’s most biodiverse estuary, these clear, globular creatures, despite their name, do not sting! As you paddle through the tranquil waters surrounded by mangroves and palm trees, you can catch and hold these gentle, glowing beings. They’re within your reach during a safe and awe-inspiring kayak adventure with fellow enthusiasts of new and unique experiences.
Alongside the stars, the abundance of protected wildlife, and the Comb Jelly’s bioluminescence, their “ribs” are lined with cilia that they use for propulsion. When you shine a flashlight on them just right, they also create a dynamic, rainbow-like light show! They’re within your reach during a safe and awe-inspiring kayak adventure with those who share your passion for unique experiences.

AMAZING KAYAK TOUR! - Family of six adults and we all had an AMAZING time! We saw dolphins, manatees, a variety of fish, birds, and fantastic bioluminescence happening for us! We had a flat tire with our car rental so we arrived a little late, but Zoey and Janis (our guides) were waiting for us and took all our stress away! Our guides were super sweet, patient, knowledgeable, and helpful! We would definitely recommend this tour with A Day Away Kayak Tours! It's another level of a super amazing experience being out on the water in the dark! One of our favorite excursions while in Florida!

Great experience - The kayak guide was nice and knowledgeable. He had a great sense of humor. We loved seeing and touching the comb jelly fish. This is our fifth kayak tour with this company. We love doing these kayak tours various times during the year with this company, and we’ll continue doing them.

Thanks Chaz! - Terrific. Beautiful location. Small dolphin we could see from the beach before we even got in a kayak. Chaz was chock-full of smart, funny, casual, thoughtful, curious details about what we were seeing. He loves the animals and plants in a passionate but comfortable way that welcomes you in. Bring binoculars to zoom in on the flamingos. And towels. We forgot those and made a mess of our rental car :)

Adventurous, magical, great for people looking for an amazing experience - The experience was incredible! They send you the place a little before the tour, that was a little odd for us, when we got to the place, it was really solitaire, but is needed to be away of the lights of the city to appreciate better the bioluminescence. We got to see the plankton and also the comb jelly. Chaz was incredible really knew all about the place, the wildlife, and the explanation helped a lot to a pair of beginners as my husband and myself. I highly recommend to book with them.

100/10 I didn’t want to leave. - Holy holy holy cow we’re still on cloud 9 from this experience! It was truly unforgettable and amazing. The sunset was stunning this evening at the start of our tour and we spent a little bit of time surrounded by dolphins before we headed off to fond comb jellies and glowing plankton. It was so cool! While we were playing with comb jellies, we ended up surrounded by manatees. I didn’t want to leave. Our guides was absolutely awesome too! We had Chaz and Brandon and they were knowledgeable, informative and a lot of fun to spend a couple hours with.

Educational, Peaceful & Enjoyable - Decided to try something new and glad that we did. The tour was very peaceful. Drew & Tanner were great. Drew is a very knowledgeable young man and informed us of everything there is to know about the area. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing experiance - Amazing night time tour with Chas. We saw 2 types of bioluminesence (comb Jelly and plankton), a gator, fantastic stars (and one shooting), loads of birds, and a pod of dolphins were following us at the end. We also heard a manatee.
Aside from all this amazing-ness, Chas took the experiance to another level. Really competent instruction, super amiable, enthusiastic, passionate and highly knowledgeable.
Highly recommended.
Thanks Chas.

AMAZING KAYAK TOUR - We were able to have a private tour unexpectedly, which we really enjoyed. Our tour guide Dru was amazing! He was so knowledgeable he taught us so many things from Marine life to space history. He made us feel safe and comfortable although there were points of choppy waters. We were able to see the manatees, something I had always wanted to see,literally surrounding our kayak. Dru made sure we got the most out of our experience. The next time we go there we will make sure he is our tour guide!
