Merritt Island, FL - March 3, 2025 - Every year, the warm waters of the Indian River Lagoon light up with an ethereal blue-green glow, creating an unforgettable nighttime experience for paddlers. With peak season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to plan ahead and book a summer adventure under the stars.
Known as one of the brightest bioluminescent bays in the world, Merritt Island’s waters come alive due to the presence of dinoflagellates, microscopic organisms that emit a glowing light when disturbed. Every stroke of a paddle and movement in the water creates a shimmering trail, turning a simple kayak tour into a magical, otherworldly journey.
"Bioluminescent kayaking is one of the most unique experiences Florida has to offer," said Phil Galloway, owner of Calypso Kayaking. "Our tours give visitors the chance to witness nature’s own light show while enjoying a peaceful paddle through one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the country.”
What to Expect on a Bioluminescent Kayaking Tour
Each guided tour takes place at night, when the bioluminescence is most visible. Guests can expect:
• Expert Guides: Trained eco-tour leaders provide insights into the science behind the glow and the diverse wildlife of the lagoon.
• Safe and Comfortable Kayaks: Stable tandem kayaks make this adventure accessible for all skill levels.
• Wildlife Encounters: Along the way, paddlers may also spot dolphins, manatees, and schools of fish darting through the glowing waters.
• Unforgettable Nighttime Views: Paddle under a sky full of stars while the water beneath you glows with each movement.
Why Book Early?
Summer is the peak season for bioluminescent kayaking, with the brightest displays occurring between June and September. Tours frequently sell out, especially on weekends and during full moons, so early reservations are highly recommended.
