Mondo Combo Bioluminescence Tour

This extended kayak adventure through the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge offers the ultimate way to experience Florida’s rich natural beauty. Designed for paddlers who want it all, the tour combines wildlife encounters, sunset birding, and bioluminescent waters in a single immersive experience. Launch into the daylight to meet gentle West Indian manatees as they roll, sniff, and nuzzle nearby, while dolphins put on an unrehearsed show in the adjacent cove. Glide through the waters and watch hundreds of birds, including ibis, herons, egrets, pelicans, cormorants, and roseate spoonbills, return to Bird Island to nest for the night, all under a sky painted with the brilliant colors of sunset. As darkness falls, the tour culminates with a magical bioluminescent experience, whether it is the warm season glow of dinoflagellates, the cooler months’ gentle Comb Jellies, or a clear, star-filled sky. Guided by certified and experienced staff, this leisurely-paced tour allows you to experience the refuge’s highlights in comfort and safety. High-quality, stable kayaks ensure a smooth ride, and multiple exclusive launch sites provide the best viewing opportunities. Participants are encouraged to bring water shoes, quick-dry clothing, towels, bug spray, and snacks to enhance comfort while exploring this breathtaking natural sanctuary.
