About the event

This seasonal phenomenon only happens during the summer months in certain areas of Florida that host the bioluminescent plankton.

( Seasonal: July - September )  * Summer *

Bioluminescence is a unique reaction created by a micro plankton organism that will glow when it's disturbed by a wave breaking or a splash in the water at night!!! The faster you paddle or splash around, the brighter they will be which makes this a really fun and unique experience!!!

We often will see dolphins, manatees, fish and other marine life swim by and light up the water creating quite a display! Almost like an underwater meteor shower of bluish green streaks! This is truly an incredible experience!

Bioluminescence occurs in only a few favorable marine waterways in Florida during the summertime.

We recommend booking in advance. Limited availability. Fills up super quick!
