What an excellent adventure; it was awesome to see firsthand, and it was absolutely beautiful. Our guide was great and on point the whole time. So happy the timing was perfect and the night was unforgettable.

This was amazing! We had rain into the tour but with the bugs, it was welcomed as that kept them away. Andrew was spectacular.
We loved this trip! It was beautiful and so neat to see, plus we got to watch a rocket launch from the water-best seats in the house! Alex and Charles were amazing…full of knowledge, interesting facts, and all around great guys. Would definitely recommend this excursion!
My fiancée and I went and had such a great time! We picked a day without much moonlight and that helped see the bioluminescence really clearly! Very beautiful and fun date night !
Absolutely stunning everything you see in the photos is real, those colors are just mesmerizing! This is a must!
Andrew was a great tour guide! The tour was very educational and lots of fun. We went to celebrate my mom’s bday and it was such a great experience! The experience was so unreal... Life literally comes to LIGHT 😉 we got lucky enough to accidentally go on a good moon cycle. My family and I enjoyed it so much, highly recommend. Girard was also so kind and helpful.
Amazing experience. Tour guides were so nice and very accommodating. This is a must to experience for people who love nature
Such a cool experience! Would definitely recommend! The guides were great! A memorable and unique thing to do!
Very fun tour! Andrew was a great guide- we learned so much! The ride was very easy for us adults and kids (10, 12 and 14). Would definitely recommend!!
Amazing experience. Nighttime kayaking on the river with bioluminescence was incredible. We went on the 4th of July and watched a dozen fireworks displays during the trip.
Bioluminescence is just fascinating, I’m so happy I got to participate in this tour. My son and I had an amazing experience! The tour guides were great and really patient and kind to us. I would 1000% book it again.
Dope host Had a blast very informative and just a magical experience altogether
Really cool experience. Guides were great and had lots of knowledge.
There is more paddling than you might think. Not hard and no one in a rush, but it's a little work if you are not used to it. Great guide, great scenery and education. Definitely should see this while in Florida!
This tour is absolutely wonderful and highly recommended. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate—book with them! The staff is extremely friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about everything you’ll see and enjoy during the excursion. It was my first time kayaking, and honestly, they were very patient and gave me a lesson beforehand; plus, they take photos of you against the backdrop of the sunset! It’s truly marvelous. We got lucky, too—there was no one else in our group, so we ended up having a private tour.
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!
Had an amazing time with our guide Andrew!! Still impressed with how well he did on a paddleboard while I was freaking out in a tandem kayak LOL. Andrew made us feel safe and did a great job guiding us! We saw lots of Dolphins! We did see the Bioluminescent lights, but it was early April, so it was hard to see, but we managed to see some! LET'S NOT FORGET THE AMAZING SUNSET!! Andrew also took photos for us on his phone! Helped us capture the memories :)
We enjoyed our excursion. Our guide was thoughtful and attentive. The Dolphins were co-operative and the sunset outstanding.
Location easy to find and guide was patient, informative and inclusive. Pointed out sites and dolphins, tips on seeing glowing algae and took pictures for us.
Andrew was a wonderful guide! We enjoyed the kayak portion of the trip, however they bioluminescent was just beginning to show and we were a little disappointed in that. But no one had control over that. Andrew said that as the water gets warmer the bioluminescent gets better. Watching the sunset from the kayak was special. Also Andrew made and shared some great photos of us.
Andrew was very knowledgeable and a truly nice guy. It was just 2 of us senior ladies. We saw many dolphins, at least their fins, and it was our first time kayaking at night. If you're looking for bioluminescece, there wasn't much to see. Might have been the time of year but it sounds like its very hit and miss. You're given a tiny net to swish through the water. Maybe others had better experiences and this wasn't the best time of the month (full moon), or year so maybe that impacted. I would also suggest that 2 hours, 2.5 miles is a long kayaking trip for seniors, a bit too much. Especially when there wasn't a lot to see. Also wearing life preserver was optional, and just 1 small light on each our kayaks.
I do recommend. There were several dolphins were playing around. The host was friendly and helpful. Even though seeing the luminescent isn’t strong this time of year we did get to see them under the bridge. The only thing I wish is the guide had a mic on because unless I was right next to him, I could not hear him.
Would highly recommend! Even though it was a little chillier it was still very worth it. I’m writing this review 9 months after the adventure and I remember vividly how amazing it was to meet these cool little creatures. Plus the sunset was amazing and our guide made it memorable
Andrew was our guide and he was SO insightful. We had a BLAST! This was an incredible experience! The jellyfish were sooooooo cool. The minnows lit up in the water, the algae was like glitter! My 9yr old and 15yr old can’t wait to do this again!
We read reviews and really gravitated towards this company and I am SO GLAD we did. Our tour guide Andrew exceeded our expectations. Could not have asked for a better time. Our 4 and 9 year old had a blast! Definitely 10/10 time!!
This was an amazing experience. Andrew and J.P. were our tour guides and we had such a great time. The bioluminescent adventure is definitely something worth seeing. You could see the water light up when the fish swam! My husband and I went for our anniversary and it was phenomenal. Great memories and a wonderful date night. Highly recommend them.
100% recommended! Definitely an experience to be had! Our tour guys were great and laid back! Had a great time.
Our tour was amazing last night! My son got to see glowing dolphins chasing jumping fish. My daughter and I were a bit further back and just saw the glowing splashes because a fish had jumped into our kayak between my back and the seat and I had to use my net to push him out😂😂. She said that right there was worth the money. The guides took their time each place we were at and were active during the tours finding us the best places to see the bioluminescence and dolphins. If we come back to Cocoa Beach we will definitely do this again! Make sure to book through the Sobe site so you can use their discount code!
This was absolutely amazing! We went for the sunset/night kayaking to see the bioluminescence and it far exceeded our expectations. It was simply magical! There were 2 guides (I'm terrible with names), but they were both super friendly and patient, took great pictures for us, and knew all the right spots to hit to see vivid glow. They had little nets in each of the kayaks to play with in the water and really light it up too. I highly recommend this company and excursion, you won't regret it!
Such a great night out on the water! Andrew, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. He knew all the right spots to take us and we were lucky enough to see manatees, dolphins and a little of the bioluminescence. SUPER COOL! Highly recommend!
When asked, our 13 year old granddaughter wanted an "experience" for her birthday so we thought this might be a good one. Our granddaughter was completely "wowed" by the entire tour. She loved kayaking. The sunset was beautiful. Encountering dolphins close up seemed surreal. This was her introduction to bioluminescence and the interaction was amazing.
Excellent guide with lots of knowledge and fantastic experience. It was worth the price and was easy to book. I appreciated the pictures the guide took and the info on other places to visit.
It was such a beautiful experience all around and we were all thrilled to see dolphins, manatee and a few glowing comb jellies! It was an added bonus to get to see the beautiful sunset. Highly recommend!
We had a great time with Andrew! Ended up being just the 4 of us on the tour after they had a cancellation. 2 adults 2 kids 14 and 12 each of us took our own kayak. Andrew found us a great spot to watch the sun go down over the horizon. Didn’t see many dolphins but we followed a couple manatees swimming all over the area. One surfaced right next to my son. The comb jellies were really neat to catch and watching the dynoplankton light up was also very cool. Highly recommend for adventurous and curious families.
Our guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and even stayed to give recommendations for manatee viewing and restaurants in the area. He didn't rush us and let us spend extra time with some dolphins, looking for comb jellies and playing with the bioluminescent algae. I would highly recommend this experience.
Andrew was fabulous! Knowledgeable and able to relate to all ages and abilities. Helpful, supportive, and entertaining, on top of area and natural phenomena. Great tour.
Andrew superseded our expectations with our sunset kayak tour. We started right before sunset and saw so many dolphins and then we went around the point and witnessed a beautiful sunset. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the boats. We love the experience.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. This was such a fun experience for all of our group that ranges from ages 3 - 50.
Andrew was a great tour guide! We saw a few dolphins during the sunset. We came when the bioluminescence wasn’t as strong in October but once it got dark enough he took us out by the bridge and we caught a little comb jelly and saw the bioluminescence effects much better. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely will be back in July or August when bioluminescence is stronger.
Dolphin sightings and bioluminescence was cool. Definitely would go next time in peak season of bioluminescence
We had a great time and our tour guide was amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable. The sunset was beautiful. We also saw comb jellies and a dolphin. Highly recommend
This was a great experience! Andrew was an excellent guide and knew so much. He made it a really enjoyable trip. We were at the end of the season so the bioluminescent algae was low but we still got to see it sparkle in the darkest spots. However the highlight was being with a pod of dolphins popping up all around us. You could see them in the moonlight. It was a relaxing and beautiful trip that we will do again earlier in the season! I would do it every year.
Excellent experience the crew were above and beyond . Didn’t see dolphins. It the bioluminescent was incredible.
What a great experience. Going at sunset made it dreamy. Our guide Andrew Murphy made the trip. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. No wind calm waters and there were dolphin around us.
Andrew was absolutely amazing! It was just our family so we had a private tour. He helped our teenage daughter become a pro at paddleboarding. We found some great sites with bioluminescent algae and jellies and even saw a couple of dolphins. One even surfaced right next to us! Thanks for a memorable night.
We had a great time together with guide Andrew. Magnificient sunset, seeing dolphins and stingrays as well as the bioluminescent jellyfish.
Best part of our trip. Really responsive to our needs and experience. Very encouraging and was wonderful to learn and experience. Andrew made sure we got to find Comb Jellies Thank you so much Andrew
Andrew was great, we had a really good time, unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins but we still enjoy the trip
Fun two hours on the water. The comb jelly fish were cool. Saw some wildlife. Fun trip. Our guide Andrew was knowledgeable and attentive. Equipment was provided and we got lots of smiles.
Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. He really seemed to care about our experience with the entire trip. Our family loved this outing.
