Orlando has a whole new glow after dark. Picture yourself paddling through inky night water that lights up with every stroke, each dip of your paddle setting off a trail of natural sparkles beneath you. This bioluminescent kayaking adventure is one of Florida’s most enchanting surprises, and it’s just a short drive from the theme parks.
You will launch into the Indian River Lagoon, one of the only places on Earth where this glowing phenomenon shines so brightly. Tiny plankton in the water flash with electric light whenever they are disturbed, so your kayak and paddle board become magic wands as you glide along under the stars.
The experience stays wonderfully personal: small groups of around a dozen guests, led by friendly local guides who know exactly where the glow is brightest. Choose between a kayak or a stand-up paddle board, whichever suits your mood. Tours run from about $65 per person, and with a 4.8-star rating from more than 200 happy paddlers, this is one of the most loved nighttime outings in the Orlando area.
