Unlike other bioluminescence tours in Florida that take place in remote lagoons, this tour launches directly in the heart of historic St. Augustine.

You will kayak past iconic landmarks including:

• Castillo de San Marcos
• Bridge of Lions
• The Great Cross
• St. Augustine Lighthouse
• Historic Downtown Waterfront

As the sky changes colors during sunset, your guide will lead you through calm waterways while sharing stories about the area’s wildlife, ecosystem, and history. Once darkness falls, the water begins to come alive with glowing bioluminescence. 

This is the only sunset and bioluminescence kayaking tour of its kind in St. Augustine. 

The waterways surrounding St. Augustine are home to incredible coastal wildlife. During your kayak adventure, you may encounter:

• Dolphins
• Manatees
• Sea Turtles
• Stingrays
• Pelicans
• Herons
• Roseate Spoonbills (Pink!)
• Coastal Fish & Marine Life

Dolphins are especially active during sunset and are commonly seen throughout the tour. 

Bioluminescence is natural light produced by living organisms in the water. Depending on the season, guests may see glowing dinoflagellates (bioluminescent plankton) or glowing comb jellies.

Every paddle stroke creates glowing blue sparkles beneath your kayak, creating an experience that feels almost unreal. During peak conditions, fish movement and water splashes can light up the river around you.
