See Florida Bioluminescence on this nighttime paddleboard adventure!
Have you done the bioluminescence tour on a kayak and want to try something new and amazing? Or just want to try paddleboarding through our neon nighttime lagoon? Join us on this epic adventure into the Indian River. The summer months see phenomenal bioluminescence and we want to take you there.How Bioluminescence on a SUP is Different
Our SUP tours go out in small groups of up to 8 people. Each person gets their own SUP and nighttime safety gear. Your guide points out the amazing wildlife in the Indian River Lagoon. Unlike a tandem kayak tour, you get your own paddleboard to yourself. The stand up, higher, view of the paddleboard gives you a better view of the sea life lighting up the lagoon. Expect to see our lagoon sea life glow as they swim through the bioluminescence. On this tour we often see: dolphins, rays, horseshoe crabs, and schools of fish light up as they swim by. If the night is right, you will have the opportunity to swim in the bioluminescence! See Our Cancellation and Refund Policy HereWhat is included

White pelicans and flamingoes and dolphins, oh my! Dan, the guide, was spectacular. I have a chronic pain condition after having been electrocuted, and his guidance and help made it possible to get back a lost piece of myself. Stunning scenery and dad jokes galore, too!

Jungle Jay and Shay were awesome guides! Me and my wife did the sunset tour. Tip: keep an open mind and take a tour with zero expectations and I promise you will have an amazing time! We didn't see a sunset cause it was very over cast and in fact we got drenched with rain! But we seen birds of all types and fish launching out of the water. Also right off the bat we saw a pod of dolphins! And shortly after we saw manatees! Then half way through we had a gator swim by us. When it came time to see the bioluminescence we went out and it was beautiful. My wife said she felt like she was touching the stars. Jay and Shay did so well with our group and were so informative and engaging. all in all 10/10 great Job guys. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

We went on the Manatee Kayak Tour and it was amazing! They swam under us and splashed us, we're active and we even saw a dolphin! This was great! We'll do a new tour every time we come!

Our family did the Sunset / Bioluminescence tour. Bri was a great guide, we all loved it! Do be prepared for the mosquitoes, and no restrooms at the park we launched from, but neither of those are BK adventure fault.
FAQ
Our tours rarely cancel due to weather. If it is raining the day of the tour, chances are, with Florida weather, it will clear up by the time your tour starts. Sometimes we will hold the tour by 30 minutes for the weather to clear. In the case of lightning, high winds, or some other reason that we cannot paddle, we will re-schedule all guests to the very next tour available, or at a convenient time for you. Rainchecks are valid for 1 year.
We recommend you do the "Sunset Tour" if you have time. That way you get to see dolphins, and possibly manatees and all the amazing birds. Then, take a break, and go out for the Bioluminescent Kayak Tour later. It's just $20 more and it's an amazing tour! Click here to book that.
For our single kayaks, the weight limit is 275 lbs. For the tandem kayaks it is 550 lbs. The night kayaking tours are done on tandem kayaks.
Ram, the owner, likes to say, "You bring the spray, we'll bring the mosquitos!" We cannot guarantee there will be mosquitos, but there is a 99% change there will be. Some breezy nights have no mosquitoes. Some nights there are a lot. The other pest is No-See-Ums. The best way to keep them away is with Baby Oil. So, consider slathering on a layer of Baby Oil to any exposed skin. PLEASE BRING MOSQUITO SPRAY.
BK Adventure's office is about 50 miles from Orlando, and just 15 minutes away from Kennedy Space Center. Guest will meet at our Titusville office and then be driven to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge (about 10 miles away).

Some people are naturally athletic, and they pick up any kind of activity easily. If that's you, pick either launch location. If you are a beginner, or not sure about kayaking abilities, let your guide know when at the beginning of the tour.
