Bioluminescence is a must-see in Central Florida. If you haven’t experienced this visually captivating phenomenon, book your tour with us today.
Bioluminescence is a natural wonder that should be experienced fully. Clear kayaks allow you to see the magical glow of the bioluminescent organisms beneath the surface, creating an immersive experience. Transparent kayaks offer unobstructed views and increased visibility, making your experience even more memorable. You can see the colorful marine life and coral reefs underneath you.
Our knowledgeable guides can take you to the beautiful waters of Central Florida. We offer various Bioluminescence tours, including sunset and transparent kayak tours, for a fun and unforgettable experience with friends or family.
Bioluminescence occurs year-round, but it may not always be visible. From June to September, the bioluminescent lights are produced by planktons called dinoflagellates. During winter months, comb jellies are responsible for the bioluminescence phenomenon. So when should you go? You’ll have some of the best views at sunset in the summer.
Check your calendar before booking a sunset tour with us, or you can consult with our team on the best time to book your bioluminescent sunset tours. It should be when there’s no moon visible, so the moonlight doesn’t reflect on the water and disrupts your views. Book your tours weeks or months in advance to ensure you get the best dates for your sunset tours.
Depending on the launch site, you’ll be 45 minutes to an hour from Orlando or Miami. We recommend visiting Cocoa Beach, Space Coast, or Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. We also offer Melbourne and Satellite Beach, Palm Bay, Daytona, and Lakeland tours if you have enough time.
Our tours are available year-round, and you can rent clear kayaks and single and double kayaks. We have skilled and highly-trained guides who can teach you how to paddle, ensuring a fun experience for the entire family. You can book day, night, and private tours with us for up to 10 hours. We provide the equipment; just bring appropriate clothing, bug repellent, sunscreen, snacks, and water. Our team members will give you a list of things to bring for your tour. Everyone is welcome, including kids and beginners. Book your tours today or contact us for questions about our services.

Lauren SavaglioJune 19, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the manatee and dolphin tour this morning with our guide, Zoey. We had two small children too. It was an incredible tour! We saw about a dozen of manatees. They were nudging our kayaks, rolling over, playing…it was incredible. Zoey didn’t rush us at all and taught us all about the wildlife there and conservation efforts. Zoey went at our speed (perfect with our two littles). We saw some dolphins at the end, and different birds. I cannot recommend this tour and Zoey enough. My kids have already asked me when we can go again. Su LimJune 18, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a great experience. All the tour guides were very nice and attentive and aimed for everyone having a good time. We saw abundant of glittering sparkling beings in the water, and a sliver of new moon with the string of planets hanging from the sky. It was magical! Watch out for the mosquitoes though, they bite through T-shirts and tights. Make sure you lather up good with OFF. Kimberly “Kim” GardinerJune 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing time on the bioluminescence tour! Jorge is a great guide. JESSICAMarch 28, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jackson was a great guide! Only my friend and I were booked-so we had a private tour of the area. We saw an Osprey fish, tarpon and mullet jump plus a couple of comb jellies. Jackson was knowledgeable about the area, kayaking and the comb jellies. He managed to catch one that we could hold.

My family greatly enjoyed the experience. Marcy BauerFebruary 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The nighttime kayak experience was so cool - what a unique way to see this region. Found some bioluminescent comb jellies, saw dolphins and nocturnal birds. The guide was wonderful…very informative and personable. Highly recommend! Melissa EckrothDecember 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my second time booking with A Day Away Kayak Tours, and it was even better than the first. I booked a sunset bioluminescent tour and went solo, and I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of from start to finish. The tour was well organized, welcoming, and perfectly paced. Zoey was an outstanding guide—super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the local ecosystem, and always attentive to safety while still keeping the experience adventurous. She was conscientious about wildlife spotting and made sure I didn’t miss a thing. Thanks to her, I was able to see dolphins, a stingray, and even catch comb jellies, which was such a unique highlight. Watching the sunset transition into bioluminescence on the water was absolutely magical. I also really appreciated Zoey sharing photos from the tour afterward—such a thoughtful touch. Whether you’re solo or with a group, I highly recommend A Day Away Kayak Tours. I’ll definitely be booking again.

Melissa SentellSeptember 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience on the Mondo Combo tour! The bioluminescence was beautiful! Jackson, our guide was knowledgeable and so much fun! He helped our boys catch comb jellies. The manatees were a highlight! We also saw dolphins and so many species of birds! Danielle OsterAugust 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a beautiful night to be out on the water, and I took my parents along. They enjoyed the experience overall, though my dad was paired with a stranger who kept calling out for her daughter and our group, which was a little distracting. The guide was very knowledgeable, but I personally felt the explanations went on a bit too long—I was eager to keep paddling so we could fully enjoy the bioluminescence in motion. He had was wade in the water and listen. On the bright side, there was a meteor shower that night, and I saw the biggest shooting star of my life, which was an unforgettable highlight!Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 22 reviews
