With A Paddle in Paradise, you’ll enjoy one of the most authentic and intimate bioluminescent kayak and paddle board tours in Florida. Unlike large outfitters that pack 25+ people into one group, we keep tours small—around 12 guests, with a 15-person max—offering a peaceful, personalized experience and better views of the glowing water. We are close to Cocoa Beach and Orlando.
Each tour is locally guided by Nate, Jess or Jeff, giving you a laid-back, guest-first vibe where you're treated like a friend, not a number. Paddle under the stars through the Indian River Lagoon, one of the only places in the world where bioluminescent dinoflagellates and comb jellies light up the water.

What to expect
Discover Florida’s only bioluminescent lagoon on a peaceful, paddle tour with "A Paddle in Paradise". Just a short drive from Orlando and Cocoa Beach, this small-group experience lets you witness one of nature’s most mesmerizing phenomena—bioluminescence—as the water lights up around you with every paddle stroke.
Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll glide through the Indian River Lagoon, one of the only places in the world where both dinoflagellates and bioluminescent comb jellies can be seen.
Seasonal Bioluminescence Highlights:
✨ May–Early October: Paddle through glowing blue trails created by billions of bioluminescent dinoflagellates, late season jellies
✨ Early October/November–April: Encounter glowing comb jellies, plus other nocturnal wildlife like stingrays, puffer fish, and horseshoe crabs, illuminated with NOQUA lighting systems
Choose your style—stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or a stable Kayak-Mod, which has higher comfort and stablity than a traditional kayak—and enjoy a relaxed, 1 hour and 45-minute journey in a small group (12 guests on average, max 15).
