Great family experience - The experience was fantastic, our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful we did the 930pm trip, the only concern and it was just nature and nothing we can do about that.. is the mosquitos!!! Wear long sleeve shirts and pants because bug spray doesn't work, we used a hole can. It was hard to take videos or pictures to share however its the lasting memories we captured. We would definitely do it again next time in the clear kayaks.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Incredible Bioluminescent Tour with Fin Expeditions & Ian! - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Incredible Bioluminescent Tour with Fin Expeditions & Ian! This was truly one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had! We started the evening by spotting dolphins and even a couple of manatees right near our kayaks—an amazing and unexpected bonus. From there, we paddled peacefully through the mangroves as the sun set, guided by Ian, who was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about both the wildlife and the experience. Once darkness set in, the water began to glow with bioluminescence. Every paddle stroke lit up with sparkling blue light, and fish darting around us looked like underwater shooting stars. It was absolutely surreal. Ian made the entire tour smooth, safe, and so memorable. His love for the environment and the local ecosystem really shines through in the way he leads the group and shares insights. I can't recommend Fin Expeditions and Ian enough. If you’re anywhere near the area, this tour is a must-do!

Bioluminescent, YES! - We thoroughly enjoyed our kayaking night. To be inserted into nature, quiet, glowing, constellations aplenty due to low light, & of course, animal life. Jordan- Big High Five, Thank you.

Sunset Bioluminescence - DJ the guide was amazing! Highly recommend this expedition. We had an absolute amazing time. We got to see manatees and stingrays. The bioluminescence in the water was breathtaking. We would definitely try this again.

So cool! - Jordyn was great with us for most of our first time in a kayak. We had the best time as a family and we saw manatees and dolphins during the sunset portion. The bioluminescence was just an epic as Jordyn described! It was the coolest experience.

May 18 2025 Bioluminescent Tour - My wife and I were treated to having just us and two tour guides on our Bioluminscent Kayak tour. Tour guides Gabby and Caleb provided an enjoyable experience. They were very knowledgeable about the bioluminescent phenomenon and excited to share that knowledge. Although it was early in the season they made sure we were exposed to 100 percent of what was available to us. We highly recommend Fin Expeditions.

What an experience!!! - I don't like kayaking very much... but this tour is awesome! The guides were great and left no question unanswered. The whole group was held together great. The timing would have been even more perfect if the planned rocket launch hadn't been postponed. This trip is really recommended!

A Must Do Trip! - We went on Fin Expedition's Bioluminescent Kayak Tour last Wednesday. The experience is indescribable. My wife and I had an absolutely awesome time. Our guides, Jordan and her understudy Forrest, were superb finding the best spots to experience the most dynoflagalites (sp) and jellies. Jordan kept the evening fun with amusing facts and corny jokes. At the end Jordan gave us an up close look at some of the jellies as they pulsated with light. The groups sizes are small so, you feel well looked after. This is a must do trip!
