Great experience. The guide was very informative, safe, and allowed us some up close experience with the wildlife.
We had a wonderful time! The bioluminescence paddle was amazing! Our kids loved it. The guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. He was also great with children. A friend recommended them to us.
We had an incredible evening kayaking tour with Cocoa Kayaking to see the bioluminescence at Merritt Island. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely five-star. Everything we needed was provided, and Captain Mike did a fantastic job of getting everyone set up, making sure we felt comfortable, confident, and ready to head out on the water. Throughout the tour, he took us to the very best spots to see the bioluminescence at its brightest and shared plenty of helpful tips and tricks to make the most of the experience. What really made the tour stand out was Mike's knowledge. He explained the biology behind the bioluminescence in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand, so it felt like an amazing wildlife tour and a great learning experience all in one. If you're visiting the area, I couldn't recommend Cocoa Kayaking more highly. It was a truly unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our trip!
As a local here I had heard about the Bioluminescent kayaking, but never took the time to do it. The experience was much more than I expected. I've used Cocoa Kayaking in the past for their mangrove tour in Cocoa beach. That tour was unbelievable as our guide was really informed and gave us a great tour. The bar was already high. I did a lot of vetting of other companies and decided to go with this one again. (Tip: Use their website to see when best times to go and call their office to see which place to use...Cocoa or Merritt Island) Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Which is the opposite of another company I was considering. Mike was our guide for this experience and he absolutely lived up to the past experience. His knowledge of the area and the bioluminescent was top notch. Clearly this company puts the customer experience first and has really knowledgeable people involved.
Wow!! Thank you so much for trusting us again. It means the world that after your amazing mangrove tour, you chose to come back and experience the bioluminescence with us too! We'll be sure to share your kind words with Mike. Hearing that our team's passion and local knowledge made another adventure unforgettable is exactly what we hope for. We truly appreciate your support and would love to welcome you back on the water anytime for another Florida adventure!
We had an incredible experience on the Bioluminescent Clear Bottom Kayak tour! As a family of six, we were amazed by the stunning bioluminescence in the water. The kayaks were comfortable and easy to maneuver, making it perfect for all ages. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, adding to the fun atmosphere. The whole tour felt magical as we paddled through the glowing waters, creating memories that we will cherish forever. Highly recommend this adventure for families looking for something unique and enchanting!
Thanks for sharing your adventure! ✨ There's nothing quite like watching Florida's waters come alive under the stars, and we're so happy your whole crew got to experience the magic together. From glowing paddle strokes to lifelong family memories, that's exactly what these nights are all about. Come chase the glow with us again anytime!
My wife, 5 year old son and I went on a bioluminescence kayak trip, it was an amazing experience. Captain Mike balanced weather considerations with local knowledge to deliver a wonderful tour. Price wise, it's very expensive, however for the unique bioluminescence experience specifically it's worth every penny.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 💛 We’re really glad to hear you and your family had such an amazing time on your bioluminescence kayak tour with Cocoa Kayaking. It’s wonderful that Captain Mike was able to balance safety with his local knowledge to create such a memorable experience for you. The bioluminescence truly is a once-in-a-lifetime sight, and we’re so happy you felt it was worth it for your family. We always appreciate hearing when guests recognize the uniqueness of that experience. Thank you again for joining us and for your thoughtful review—we hope to welcome you back for another adventure on the water someday! 🛶🌌🌿
Cocoa Kayaking was amazing from start to finish! Everyone was so helpful, friendly, accommodating and our guide, Mike was fantastic! My son had lots of questions for him and he was a wealth of wisdom, information, passion and kindness! We had the best tour! It was the evening tour and did the bioluminescence tour and it was super unique and interesting! I highly recommend Cocoa Kayaking.
We’re glowing just reading this! So glad you and your son loved the bioluminescence tour — Mike will be thrilled to know he made it extra special. Thanks for paddling with us and for the awesome recommendation!
Our guide, Captain Mike, was exceptional! One of the very best tour guides we’ve ever had, and we’ve had more than a few. Experienced, patient, funny, and loves what he does. Before we loaded into our glass bottomed kayak, he provided an overview of bioluminescence and the comb jellyfish (which also light up) we expected to see. He also explained that the darker it is, the greater chance of seeing both. We then kayaked to the darkest area under a bridge where he showed us how to trail our paddles, hands, and small nets through the water to activate the bioluminescence. The water lit up as if we were in Avatar! We also caught many comb jellies (all safely returned to the sea) and watched them glow in iridescent colors. My husband and I felt like kids, it was absolutely magical. Thank you, Captain Mike!
Wow! Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your experience with Captain Mike was such a memorable one. We’re so glad you enjoyed the magic of the bioluminescence and the glowing comb jellies. It's wonderful to hear that the tour brought out that sense of wonder and playfulness. Hope to see you again for another adventure on the water! 🤙😎
I went on a bioluminescent kayak tour a few weeks ago with some friends, just tagging along since my friend made all the arrangements. Chayse was our guide, and she was fantastic—keeping us safe, together as a group, and sharing cool info about the area. She knew where to go for the best glow. It was an unforgettable trip! When I got home and told my mom how amazing it was, she immediately wanted to go. So, twist my arm—I went again! This time I did my own research and made calls to several companies because I wanted to make sure my mom had the best experience possible. Cocoa Kayaking stood out, and they did not disappoint. On our second trip, we went during the week with Captain Michael. It was a smaller group, which made for a more personal experience. Mike was awesome—super knowledgeable and attentive, always making sure everyone was having a great time and getting their questions answered. Both trips were incredible, and the guides—Chayse and Mike—really made them special. I highly recommend Cocoa Kayaking for anyone considering a bioluminescent tour!
Wow—thank you so much for this incredible review! We're honored you chose to paddle with us twice, and even more so that you brought your mom along the second time! We’re so glad you had such amazing experiences and that the bioluminescence delivered its magic each time. Thank you for recommending Cocoa Kayaking! We hope to see you, and your mom, out on the water again soon. 🤙😎
What an amazing night. It was claim and peaceful. The bioluminescence were bright blue. There were lots of comb jellyfish. We went under the bridge as the moon was half full. It was the prefect spot to see everything. It was nice and dark under the bridge. Captain Mike was amazing and very informative. This is our 4th adventure with Cocoa Kayak. Wouldn’t use anyone else.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing night on the water. The bioluminescence truly is magical this time of year, and it sounds like the conditions were perfect. We're especially glad to hear that Captain Mike made the trip memorable with his knowledge and enthusiasm. Knowing this was your fourth adventure with Cocoa Kayak means the world to us. Your continued support means so much to our team. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more unforgettable nights on the water! Epic paddles! - Josh @ Cocoa Kayaking 🤙😎
