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.

Due the place the tour was being held there weren’t enough bars for my phone to receive their calls texts. The phone literally read SOS. They weren’t able to let me know their truck broke down and they needed me to meet at a secondary site.
I’d arrived an hour early (7pm).
I decided to leave 8:24pm at which point two texts came in that explained.
By the time my phone was up enough that I could respond it was 8:36pm. which was when they let me know there was no one able to meet me anymore. Not their fault not mine. I’m out $85 though. Bummer.

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

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.

Our guide was Brian, he was great. We had a great time. I would recommend it for everyone who loves nature. We saw the water light up throughout and fishes jumping in and out, clear sky with all the stars. I don't recommend if you're scared of going out in the ocean at night. You would also need some amount of stamina for paddling.

Got denied clear kayaks, instead they offered regular kayaks, which is available for much less.
Further, they won’t refund, they’re giving me a rain check. I live in India, would definitely take the 20 hour flight back just for the rain check 🤦♂️
BE ADVISED GUYS

We were able to see not only the bioluminescence we got to se dolphins, manatees, shrimp, crabs, an alligator, and got to learn about the history of the place. It was more than I could have asked for. Our tour guide Katie was amazing she even let us stay out a little longer so we can see more wildlife. She was awesome.

Wonderful to see the bioluminescence and the jumping bioluminescent fish were an added surprise. Our tour leader Katie as well as Brendon and Eric were terrific and we appreciated their caution about lightening!

Andrew and Sammi were very knowledgeable and very personable tour guides. We had a small group and thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We would recommend them to everyone and hopefully come back soon to bring others to enjoy.
