Fascinating kayak tour - The tour was relaxed and we came to places with the perfect bioluminescence experience! That was a great experience and we even swam through the glowing water

Amazing bucket list experience! - I cannot recommend this tour enough. Lucas, our guide, was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone felt safe and was fun to converse with. The place that we launched from had some light pollution but Lucas explained that they use this body of water because the deepest it gets is 8 feet or so. They provide life vests and give a safety talk and walk any newcomers through how to use their kayak. He took our group to 2 islands and let us get out if we wanted to and swim in the bioluminescence. The experience was on my bucket list and was absolutely worth it. My suggestion, do your research to see if you’re going when the bioluminescence is brighter and when the moon is darker. Also don’t forget to bring a tip for your guides because they really are so amazing!

Beautiful Evening - The bioluminescence paddle was beautiful! Such a fantastic night. I felt very comfortable paddling at night because the guide was so professional, knowledgeable, and fun. The warm water and the "glow" was perfect. This is a must while visiting Florida. And Adventures in Florida knows how to do it!

Played it safe - Jason and Lucas did a great job despite the weather not cooperating. Seas were choppy due to tropical storm effecting the area. They kept the group together and in safe areas where we could enjoy the bioluminescence. We had two kids in the group so kudos for them.

Overall good - Overall A really good experience and seeing the bioluminescence was really spectacular. However instructions to the place we not correct but we found it in the end. The tour only last 1hr 30 minutes and at times the guide did not appear very interested and coming back seemed very keen to get back

Good experience really poor meeting details - The tour was good and the guys looked after us well, the meeting information was shocking … no contact from the team , the contact (Todd) we were told to ask for has not worked there for 3 years. The guys who looked after us were good …, They need to update the meeting information as we were told to look for a white van it was in fact a black truck which added to the confusion.

Very underwhelming experience - Very disappointed as there was no bioluminescence at all to see, kayaked out to an island and back again, very boring.
