A Day Away Titusville / The Space Coast
Just minutes from the fun and the sun in Titusville Florida, is one of the most diverse eco systems in North America. The Indian River Lagoon which begins at Ponce Inlet and runs south 157 miles along the east coast of Florida is home to amazing diversity in wildlife and nature. The highlight and focal point for most of this diversity is the 144,000 acres that surround Kennedy Space Center, known as the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
A Day Away offers kayak tours six days a week on the Merritt Island Refuge just a short drive east of the city of Titusville. In the daylight the refuge reveals Manatee, dolphin, alligator, and many varieties of wading birds. The potential is there to spot any number of the amazing land based life that call the refuge home: bobcats, wild pigs, otters, wild turkeys, etc. On our Comb Jelly night tours you can witness the lagoons answers to the fire fly – the comb jellyfish or the single cell dinoflagellate bioluminescence which illuminates all moving things around itself. Magical is the appropriate description turning even the most stoic adult into an awe struck child. You can check out our tour options with full description under tours on the bar above.
The Little Econ and Silver River are a splendid break from the eco system of the lagoon. Each launch point is just a short drive from the Titusville area with views often described as “True Old Florida”.

Bio was soo neat and the guides were amazing!!
Colleen is the best.
Although it was a full moon and bioluminescence is not the best when it's a full moon everything was astonishing. The full moon was beautiful and we were still able to experience bioluminescence in the darker areas. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. Mullet were jumping, we spotted multiple dolphins, and now I can't wait to come back and experience the bioluminescent tour when it is ideal because I can't even imagine anything better than what I have already experienced .
We saw so many friendly manatees and beautiful birds on today's tour. The Florida weather was perfect today for Kayaking.
Working hard.
