About This Experience Gift

  • Take in Stunning Sunset Views on the Indian River
  • Kayak Alongside Manatees and Other Unique Marinelife
  • Enjoy Bird Watching at a Federally Protected Rookery

Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure during this Indian River Bioluminescence Tour at sunset. This three-hour experience combines three distinct activities to provide you with an unforgettable wildlife encounter. 

After meeting your friendly guide and being fitted with all of the equiptment you need, you will launch your kayak in the daylight. Soon you'll be surrounded by Florida’s most-loved endangered species, West Indian Manatees! Sit back while these gentle giants roll, sniff, and play around you. Dolphins are also active this time of day as they wrangle their dinner in the adjacent cove.

Next, you'll head out to Bird Island, a federally protected rookery, to watch hundreds of birds soar in overhead. Ibis, herons, egrets, pelicans, cormorants, and roseate spoonbills and more all glide in their flocks to nest for the night. Be lulled into serenity by the gently rocking kayak as the sun descends for the night in the pinks, oranges, and reds of sunset.

Finally, the tour concludes in the season’s bioluminescent experience, whether it be summer bioluminescence, winter comb jelly bioluminescence, or a star-studded moonlit sky. No matter when you choose to enjoy this adventure, you are in for a truely magical experience.
