Space Coast, Fl Exit 220 : During the warm summer months the waters of Florida’s Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon come alive with bioluminescence. This natural phenomenon, sometimes referred to as living lights, is caused by tiny, marine organisms, called dinoflagellate.
Bioluminescent creatures, abundant in the warm Indian River water, are not only beautiful and fascinating but are also critical to the existence of most marine life. The singled- celled organisms flashes only a fraction of a second when disturbed by water movement, generating bluish-white trails of light like a firefly.
Experience the natural beauty of Florida while kayaking on a warm summer night, inside the Merritt Island Reserve . Witness an aquatic sensational light show caused by a passing school of fish, the illuminated glow of a lackadaisical meandering manatee or sting ray or dolphins swimming right next to your kayak. Every movement in the water produces light.
The best months for viewing bioluminescence are May thru September.
