From late November through April, you may catch harmless comb jellies by hand. Guides such as Matt, Aidan, Caleb, and Zoey add safety tips and useful local insight.

“Sean was the best guide we could have had for my family! He totally geeked out with the biology of how bioluminescence works and why it happens. I mean right down to the molecular details!! It was awesome! My 16 yo son was captivated: masking questions and bantering with Sean. It was so great to see and he didn’t even want to go on this kayak!

Guides such as Faith, Brea, and Seven have earned special praise.

“Brea was an excellent tour guide giving our small group plenty of opportunities to see the bioluminescent comb jellyfish. She is very knowledgeable so you will learn a lot about the area. We also saw some dolphins in the moonlight and could hear the manatees come up for air. It is a great trip!”
