About Florida Adventurer: Bioluminescent Kayaking Cocoa Beach

Florida Adventurer: Bioluminescent Kayaking Cocoa Beach offers evening kayak tours on the waterways around Merritt Island, where visitors paddle two-person tandem recreational kayaks to observe bioluminescent plankton and wildlife. Tours last approximately one and a half hours on the water and depart from launch sites including Kiwanis Island Park, North Haulover Canal, and Beacon 42. Each kayak is equipped with a two-sided paddle and fabric seats with back support. All participants receive a Coast Guard-approved life vest, whistle, and flashlight at the tour's start. Visitors observe illuminated water, jumping mullet, fish trails, and jellyfish glowing in the dark waters. The experience suits first-time paddlers and experienced kayakers alike. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website. The business was founded by owners who grew up fishing and kayaking on central Florida's waterways and focus on educating visitors about the local ecosystem.
