Top Cocoa Beach Kayaking Tours

Joe was a very knowledgeable Epic Bioluminescence tour guide. We caught some comb jelly (sea walnuts) with a net. We saw a lot of bioluminescent algae as we paddled in the water. We had a great time. It was well worth it. He also took pictures of us. Please wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt. You will most likely get wet, so be prepared. We were given a waterproof bag (that could float if dropped in the water) to put our phone and items in. We clipped it to our pants. Spray yourself with a lot of insect repellent! We toured at 10 pm and mosquitoes were out biting us, even though we sprayed at home and before we got into our kayaks! Thank you.

So fun! Our guides were fantastic. There were several other tours and it was at night so it was a little tricky to find the group at first but we just followed some other people and found it pretty quickly. The seats on the paddle boards were really comfortable and you could easily dip your feet into the water which was cool. Probably our favorite part was catching all the little glowing jellies!

Oh my gosh!! How to explain?? Exhilarating at times for sure but the best part of our trip ao far!! Sammie was sooo sweet and wow she knew everything there was to know about the area, the wildlife and most importantly the reason for our trip….the bioluminescent algae!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

The weather was a bit unpredictable and we received a call from the tour company offering to move our tour to the same day as our scheduled day was going to be stormy. We appreciated their focus on our safety and went a day early. Andrew was an amazing guide and spent the tour sharing his knowledge of the area, the wildlife, while always keeping an eye on the weather. We were able to kayak alongside a pair of dolphins (mom and baby) and were thrilled to float near a pair of manatees as well. One swam right below our kayak. Andrew noticed a couple of puffer fish and showed one to us before sending it on its way. It was so peaceful sharing the sun set with the marine life so close by. We were able to see the bioluminescent plankton once it got dark and enjoyed the quite paddle back to the park. We were so thankful that the tour company was looking ahead and which allowed us to switch our nights and experience this excursion with so much to see. Well done Andrew!

Jack was absolutely great and the tour was beyond expectations! Despite it being a bit windy Jack ensured we had a very enjoyable time while sharing all of his knowledge of the area and even giving. Great recommendation for something to do afterwards!

Joe was fantastic, the route he took us on was super peaceful. We saw so many manatees and even some dolphins. The best part we’re the mangrove tunnels which are so cool to ride to. Highly recommend Joe and his company to anyone of any age and group number.

Must see near Orlando! Bioluminescence Kayaking at night under a clear sky with an abundance of stars. It is in the middle of a preserve on the Indian River! Brian, our guide, was fun, friendly and full of knowledge. We saw lots of comb jellies and some phytoplankton. We had a view of the Kennedy space Center with Artimus ready for launch! It was so quiet and peaceful! We heard drum fish and saw night herron! No gators(thank you very much) If you have never done this, you definitely need to put it on your bucket list.

What a wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Caleb was absolutely wonderful! He knew so much about the area, and answered all of my silly questions. He made the tour so fun, and relaxing. We did see a few dolphins at the end of the trip, tons of birds (amazing birds I can’t name them all but wow!) no manatees, but I learned that they like warmer water :) so I’ll come back in summer and see them. Definitely recommend. Especially if you’re lucky enough to get Caleb as your guide.
