A jelly-tastic good time. - Very laid back, and educational. It was very professionally run operation. Wonderful for a date night, or just fun on the river.

Touching bioluminescent jellyfish? Yes, please! - Awesome experience! Bryce was super knowledgeable and helpful (and he had dad jokes). The kayak was spacious and steady - LED lights were fun. The jellies were amazing. Great opportunity to get in touch with nature (literally).

Reconnect with You Inner Child - Super fun experience! Bryce was very knowledgeable and fun. We had a great time with him and could've stayed out there all night. I feel this may be the aquatic equivalent to catching fireflies, really amazing to see the bioluminescence

Clear kayaks that glow! - My college roommate and I rented two clear kayaks to view the bioluminescent jellyfish the last week of February. It was a magical experience! We paddled out to explore horseshoe island, saw a beautiful sunset, horseshoe crabs and puffer fish. Savannah, our tour guide was excellent, super knowledgeable and fun. Definitely recommend, but might see more jellyfish in the summer, when water is warmer.

Overpriced - It was a little deceiving. We found the jellyfish, but they really don’t glow much. Guide was good, but the experience was a little overpriced for what it was. We left wishing we had done a daytime trip instead.

Not what we thought it would be - We thought we would see things glowing in the water. Enjoyed kayaking in the lake lighted kayaks and Savannah was very nice and informative. But we couldn’t recover our pictures of the QR code.
