About - Earlier tour time: Sunset & Bioluminescence Tour

Let our friendly guides lead you on an amazing evening paddle board or kayak adventure. After a lesson on paddling, we'll head into a gorgeous sunset to Horseshoe Crab Island.

We'll beach our vessels and explore the island while enjoying a beautiful sunset. We'll walk out on the sandbar searching for dolphins, horseshoe crabs, fish, and stingrays. We'll kick our feet through the bioluminescence and cup the star filled waters in our hands while enjoying the shallow waters. You may choose to make "snow angels" in the water! Our guides will take gorgeous photos of your group to share with you after the tour ends.

After sunset, we'll paddle into the night and view the stars overhead and and see the plankton dinoflagellates bioluminescence illuminate below us, as we paddle through the water. We often paddle through "mullet storms" while hundreds of small fish jump around your vessels. We often see dolphins and occasionally manatees!

About - Later tour time: Bioluminescence & Stargazing

At this launch time, it is very dark and the stars shine bright against the night sky, as the bioluminescence illuminates the water as we paddle through it. Our friendly guides will give instruction and set you up for the adventure. We recommend downloading a star gazing app and to view the constellations above. Enjoy the stars in the water and in the sky the entire time on this tour!

For BOTH tour times:

We highly recommend enjoying this adventure on one of our sturdy Clear 2-Person Kayaks. This is an extremely beginner friendly tour. You get to pick your vessel. We offer Paddleboards, Clear 2-Person Kayaks, and Clear Single Kayaks! There is no wrong answer here.

We end the tour in the same location that we started. Your tour guides will share pictures with you after your adventure.

If you are thinking of things to do in Orlando areas, these tours are an amazing outdoor adventure!

PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT INFO BELOW

We operate this tour at two locations. You will be notified of our alternate tour location if inclement weather occurs at our main location.

Please meet your guides 30 mins prior to tour start time. They will be wearing bright neon green vests that say EPIC Guide. Out of respect for our guests, we do our best to start our tours at tour time. We can not hold tours for late guests. No refund will be issued for guests who miss their tour.

What to Wear

  • Swimsuit or comfortable exercise clothing that you do not mind getting wet. You may consider wearing long pants and sleeves for protection from insects.

What to bring

  • Water shoes or flip flops for exploring
  • Your favorite insect repellant
  • Gratuity for your guides (Our guides work hard to provide an amazing experience for each of our guests. If you enjoy your time with us, please consider a tip. It is so much appreciated!)

If the weather is looking questionable, please know that we are monitoring conditions. Many times the weather will look bad and then clear out making a beautiful tour. Most of the time we will "call it from the field". Tours can be delayed up to 1 hour due to weather. If it looks like conditions will absolutely be unfavorable, we will contact you as soon as possible and we will try to reschedule or refund your tour. Guest safety is our most important priority.

We work hard to provide an outstanding experience for all our guests. Our guides appreciate tips if you enjoy your experience. Thank you so much!
