1. It was unsafe. We lost two members of the kayak group.
2. Two guides argued about the route to take.
3. The two guides commented to each other that we were uncooperative.
4. While on the water, we ended up nowhere near or guides. They both put out infomaton that changed.
5. Some of the group got frustrated with confusion and a couple of kids were crying, which was ignored by the guides.
6. The briefing for paddle instructions was good. However there were no instructions on if the kayak tipped or how to get out.
6. There were no weather advisories regarding high winds or the strong current we experienced. There was no mention of a chance that there would be no bioluminescence present. When I asked, the guide said keep padding . We never saw what we traveled 250 miles each way to see.
It was wet, cold, and dangerous. With nothing to see. I complained about my back spasmming and they said keep padding! Other reviewers also commenting on seeing but we were not told thi!
Everyone in our group felt the same. We want a full refund for our group. You may contact me at this number to make it right
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hello, and thank you for paddling w/us and leaving a review. Let's go thru these 1 by 1. You chose a bioluminescent kayak tour. You say you read our website, so you then you know there are 2 seasons of bioluminescence and you happen to come between the 2 seasons changing, so neither is at peak viability. We do not conrotl the weather. Not everyday in Florida will be a postcard.
You said we gave a good orientation, if you were unable to paddle w/the group, then it's a personal issue, ad the rest of the group that you couldn't keep up with had the same instructions.
We do not use "sit in" kayaks, so if you roll over in our kayaks, you are automatically ejected and can stand up. Not something we typically spend much time on.
If you were falling behind while asking more questions than paddling, it makes sense for your guide to have asked you to keep paddling.
We can not speak to you speaking for other guests. Unfortunately we do not refund for any of these issue you encountered. Thank you for paddling with us. We suggest thoroughly checking the weather forecast, or call us prior to booking and we can help advise you about the booking window you're considering.

Could not understand tour guide, kept everyone on top of each other, nothing to see, just dark and lots of mosquitoes. Would not recommend, should not do tours when out of season, should be closed
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hello and thank you for your review. This is a kayak tour through the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. We do keep everyone in a group, since it's a group tour. We can not have guests paddling willie nillie through our wildlife refuge at night by themselves, that would reckless endangerment. So yes we do have 2 seasons of bioluminescence in Florida, unfortunately it sounds like you may not have read about our season thoroughly. We have a cooler season (Bioluminescent Comb jelly-fish) and a warmer season (dinoflagelatte plankton). Wind will play a role in visibility w/the jellyfish. We can not control the day/evening that you made your reservation. Unless a wind advisory is issued, our tours will still go out as there are still a multitude of things to see and explore and people spend weeks looking forward to thier tour. So we do not take canceling tours lightly, we will do our best to ensure all tours go out safely. As our website states, we do not/can not guarantee nature. I hope this helps bring you some understanding as to why are tours are not closed.

We really enjoyed the kayaking, just wish "we only go as fast as the slowest kayak" would have be more accurate. Six kayaks and the guide went so fast that three of us plus the other two guides lost site of them and went a ways the wrong way. Thanks to Mike and Tyler we finally got turned back around and found the group. Unfortunately we missed the dolphin but did see the bioluminescent jelly fish.
Mesmerizing night

The full moon was beautiful. Kayaking by the light if the moon and the stars with a cool breeze was absolutely mesmerizing. Unfortunately, due to construction we weren’t able to go to the Haulover canal. We went off season on the wrong days, but it fit our schedule. I would recommend going in season in the 13-day window for the best experience. Erin & Mike did a terrific job.
Wonderful experience

I’d like to start with how informative, intelligent, kind and comforting our guide, Guy, was throughout the entire tour. I had brought my mom for her 57th bday and after a few splashes nearby she was slightly intimated as we had never been kayaking or in the water at night. He attempted to ease her anxieties while on the way back while still making it an interesting learning experience for myself. I will definitely be returning!

Chris was our tour guide and it was just an AMAZING overall experience. One of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. He was very fun, easy going, and knowledgeable about many things! The bioluminescence was so bright and just truly amazing. We did the 10pm tour and we got to see tons of dolphins, manatees, fish, and birds. Really really cool experience.
