Get ready to spend a magical evening on this nighttime bioluminescence tour with the Harvard Club of Central Florida.
See the water light up as luminous sea life surrounds your kayak.

BIOLUMINESCENCE is “life emitting light” and is a common occurrence in this region; however, finding an area with high concentrations regularly is something not to be missed.

About the Tour

Everything that moves in the water creates light! These plankton are called Dinoflagellate — a single-celled organism that collects energy during the day and gives off a cold light at night.

One of the most memorable experiences you can have is a night kayak tour to experience the glowing water while feeling safe with professional and experienced tour guides. As you paddle the bottom of your kayak will glow a Blue/Green light that at times looks like shooting stars. Fish may swim under your kayak putting off streaks of light looking like lightning in the sky.
 

About The Indian River Lagoon

The Indian River Lagoon is an estuary that is fed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean making it a unique natural habitat.  The high salt content in the water here makes it a perfect home for dinoflagellates which create a natural light to protect themselves.  The lagoon is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in North America and has been the main source of research about bioluminescent dinoflagellates.
 

What to bring

Haulover Canal is a Wildlife Refuge so bring bug spray, bottled water and weatherproof hoodies.
