Overview

  • Join me for a guided bioluminescent kayak tour on Merritt Island's Indian River Lagoon, the most biologically diverse estuary in North America! I'm Sunny, a certified Florida Naturalist and the owner and operator of Sunny Nights Kayak Tours. My night kayaking tours launch from Manatee Cove Park on Florida's Space Coast. If you're visiting Cocoa Beach or Kennedy Space Center, we're just a short drive away and we're also only about an hour from Orlando.

    In the summer, tiny dinoflagellates can make the water flash with blue-green bioluminescence when you dip your paddle in. Sometimes you can even follow a fish by the glowing trail it leaves behind!

    In the winter, we go looking for bioluminescent comb jellies! They look a little like jellyfish, but they don't sting and produce their own light.

    It’s pretty common to see dolphins on our paddles and we might even spot a manatee too, but we're usually out past their bedtime!

    Bioluminescence and wildlife sightings depend on conditions.

Activity itinerary

Brevard County

  • 2h
Your guide will have everything set up and ready for you to embark when you arrive on site! Our launch location boasts open views of the Space Center’s vehicle assembly building, rocket launch pads, and the Milky Way in the night sky. On a clear night we often see shooting stars, starlink satellites and even the ISS over our heads. In the water, a microscopic algae is responsible for bioluminescence below you. Paddle with a certified Florida naturalist who truly cares about the ecosystem and learn from the microscopic bottom of the food web to the top about ecology in the lagoon. On some summer nights, there’s a possibility to learn about water sampling to quantify the dinoflagellates in the water as Sunny Nights Kayak Tours is aiding in a scientist’s cumulative studies on the pyrodinium bloom in our lagoon!
