Really enjoyed this tour! - We ended up being the only people on our tour. It was a beautiful night and we were able to hear dolphins and manatees all around us. Clint was our guide and he was fantastic. Would definitely do this again!

Amazing Experience - It was a beautiful experience that we had viewing the bioluminescence! The tour guide Clint was super kind and amazing!

So cool! - We did the clear kayak bioluminescence tour with Brian and Clint last night and it was just amazing. My husband and I took our 21-YO twins and we were all just amazed with this excursion. Brian said this was near the end of the season for the bioluminescence, however, we thought it was on full display with lots of active fish jumping out of the water. It was very buggy out but this is just unavoidable since the season for the protozoa is June-Sept/Oct. Be sure to pick an evening not near the full moon for the best experience.

Amazing night, amazing guide Brian - The night was absolutely amazing! We took the 11pm tour and my friend and I were the only one scheduled for that time. We ended up having a private tour with our guide. Talking about our guide, Brian: the absolutely best! He is so sweet and made our experience 100% better! I’m planning to go back with my family this time and I will request our tour to be with him; i would advise anyone to do the same!

The most beautiful experience! - It was so fun and so beautiful! Katie (Katy?) was so fun! She had so much cool information she was able to share with us!

Such an interesting evening and pleasure ride - It is a very interesting tour. Best thing for me was the highly interesting science behind the phenomenon of the bioluminescence and other beings in the water and the ecosystem at the lagoon. Katie, our guide, was very knowledgeable!! She made the tour such a learning experience, which it was cool! Only bad part is that we stayed on the water just an hour out of the hour and a half that we booked.

The good, bad and ugly - The overall experience of witnessing the bioluminescent algae was awesome. Being able to see the waves lighting up, and each splash did the same. We were able to see the water glow up like it had blue glitter mixed in. We could put our hands in the water, and see our hands glowing once we removed it from water. Witnessing this was fabulous. The bad and ugly matter though. I didn't see anywhere that Tandem kayaking was required when booking this for my family. I was under the impression that my husband would be required to tandem with our 11 year old, my 15 year old would have his own, and I would have my own. It was ONLY tandem kayaking. We learned very quickly that our family is not meant for tandem kayaking, even with the fact that all 4 of us have individual kayaking experience. The website stated we didn't need any experience, and I would like to say this is not for people with zero experience in kayaking or even tandem kayaking. The water was choppy and with minimal tandem kayaking experience, my oldest and I often found ourselves turning in circles, going far away from the group, running into other kayakers, etc. Katie, who was leading our group was extremely knowledgeable about our surroundings and stopped in multiple places to give us a scientific/historical lesson of everything we were seeing. This was cool to hear about, however, the booking also didn't make it seem like we would be spending 20 minutes holding onto a branch to learn about trees. My impression was that our time would be spent freely kayaking, maybe even brought to an island where we would be able to get out of the kayaks and swim or splash around. We also were not told that the water we were in was only about 4 feet deep. At the beginning of the tour, our guide was almost knocked out of her kayak by a manatee. This instilled panic in my entire family, as we were then worried about tipping and ending up in deep water. We also weren't told that that there was a chance of being tipped by manatees at all. The water was choppy and it was hard to maintain the same speed as the rest of the group. We were told at the beginning that our "end" tour guide, Alora, would always be behind us and that the group was "only as fast as our slowest kayaker". Both myself, oldest, and my husband and our youngest often were behind Alora. This did not ensure that Alora was keeping an eye on all kayakers, which we were told she was doing. Being able to witness the water lighting up was awesome, but the entire experience was more stressful than the booking would have led you to believe. We would not recommend for anyone who doesn't have experience in kayaking in general, or no experience in tandem kayaking. We would not recommend this to anyone who expects to just kayak, swim, or touch the water. There were 2-3 times where the guide stopped the tour to talk and it became overwhelming and was hard to concentrate on what she was saying when we were constantly paddling to stay in the group, not run into each other, or constantly turn around. If you plan on taking pictures and video, bring a camera that actually has night vision. You won't capture the beauty on your phone at all. Very disappointing to find that out the hard way. We would not repeat. in the hour and a half of the kayaking tour, we spent probably only 20 of it in a good mood. We were able to see a dolphin swim by, fish zipping around under water, and the water light up as we kayaked around.

Cool experience, the app is misleading - The bioluminescent was definitely something different and cool to experience. When I initially booked and paid through this app I was charged an additional $9 international transaction fee from my bank because this app is based in London not the United States as portrayed. This was NOT disclosed at the time of purchase. The tour guides seemed a bit disorganized, it took forever to get people checked in, they had no cell service and had to walk around with phones raised high to try and see a roster for the tour. This should have been downloaded ahead of time. We booked the 11pm tour and we were 30 mins late getting into the water. The clear kayaks were the most uncomfortable kayak I have ever experienced. Although it was cool to see the bioluminescent through the boat we found them to be very uncomfortable, fairly easy to paddle but we felt we were sitting way too low. Our tour guide talked too much, we didn't have a lot of time to paddle around and experience other creatures. It was expressed by the tour guide they really needed good reviews because they get a pay bonus and she was poor. She also pushed for tips. The tour leaving late meant returning late. We did get our 90 minutes but it was mostly spent floating and listening to our guide talk. We did not get back to the hotel until 2am after showers we did not get to bed until 3am.

Disappointing - I’m rating this tour a 2 for two reasons. First, there was no bioluminescence to be seen on Sept 23! I’ve done this trip before and it can be spectacular. The Beacon 42 kayak tour leaders should have told us that the season was over, but they took our $75 / person anyway. Second our guide was a disappointment. Many of us couldn’t hear her and when we could hear she wasn’t able to talk seriously and clearly about the wildlife. On the positive side, just being out on the water at night and seeing stars was great!
