A Magical Evening on the Water - Sunny is wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgable about local ecology, the environment, & leads with everyone's safety in mind regarding weather. On our 90ish minute tour, we saw tons of critters like mullet (fish), great heron, & more! We even got to hold bioluminescent jellyfish & watch them glow. Closest thing to real magic I've ever experienced. 10/10 would recommend for families, couples, & solo paddlers wanting to spend an evening connecting with nature.

Great evening! - Sunny was knowledgeable and so much fun! She explained all about the bioluminescence and showed us lots of jellies. She was also very helpful and positive with me and my first time kayaking.

Awesome bioluminescent Tour & Guide ! - Sonny is an awesome guide - super chill, super knowledgeable, flexible. Can’t say enough positive things about things. Small tour group size makes for GREAT experience. The group stays close together & the guide can really interact with everyone. Only book with Sonny Nights Kayak Tour.

Best tour near Orlando - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Magical Night on the Water – A Must-Do Adventure! We booked a night kayaking tour out of Scottsmoor Landing in the Mosquito Lagoon, and it was hands down one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever had in Florida. From the start, our guide Sunny made the trip unforgettable. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and made everyone feel comfortable and engaged. Her love for the ecosystem really showed and added so much value to the experience. The bioluminescence was absolutely breathtaking. Every movement in the water created a glowing ripple, like paddling through stars. On top of that, we spotted dolphins, manatees, horseshoe crabs, and other wildlife. We even collected some gorgeous shells along the way. The atmosphere was peaceful and surreal, and we left feeling recharged and inspired. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this. It’s perfect for couples, families, or solo adventurers looking for something truly special. Highly recommend!

Moonlight Birthday Dream! - Sunny made our special birthday trip a night we’ll never forget!! She is so knowledgeable about the lagoon and conservation efforts. We saw so much bioluminescence! The fish looked like shooting stars under the water!! It was super neat to be able to walk around near the island and see our feet light up! WE ALSO SAW DOLPHINS!!

Light Up the Night with Sunny! - Sunny and her fellow guide led a dozen female paddlers on a magnificent bioluminescence tour in the Indian River Lagoon. Sunny made everything fun even as she emphasized safety, gave clear instructions, and taught the basic science of bioluminescence, while we enjoyed a beautiful summer night on the boats and the nearby island! The evening was magical, from the glow sticks lighting the bow and stern of each kayak to the natural glow of bioluminescence in the lagoon. Despite owning my own kayak, I used one of Sunny's to make the trip easier. Her gear is well-maintained and she makes everything seem easy. Don't wait! Adventurers of all ages and abilities should light up the night with Sunny!

Out of this world! Sunny is fantastic! - This was awesome! I’ve seen bioluminescent plankton while scuba diving but this was on a whole other level. We loved it. And Sunny is every bit as sparkly and unique as the Dinoflagellates she’s going to tell you all about. You gotta go!

Go see a natural wonder of the world - bioluminescence with an outstanding, smart, safe tour guide. - Sunny leads an amazing tour of the bioluminescence in the lagoon. She is extremely safe, very knowledgeable and fun to be around. She will not only show you the bioluminescence, but teach you why it is happening.
