Bioluminescence Rafting Tour - Wildlife Refuge (Titusville)

Came here with a group of friends for a night bioluminescence group rafting tour. Terence, our tour guide aka captain was the best. He was very informative and super friendly! He showed us around the refuge and was able to spot a lot of wildlife during the late hours. I will definitely come back and do the tour again with Terence! I would say we got our money worth!

If laughter and glowing sea creatures could cure all life’s problems, The Florida Adventurer would be my new therapist. We did the bioluminescent kayak tour, and let me tell you — it poured so hard we could’ve used the kayaks as bathtubs. 🌧️ But did that stop us? Absolutely not! We were out there giggling like kids, jiggling cone jellies until they lit up like tiny disco balls, while glowing plankton sparkled all around us like Mother Nature’s rave. Our guide Brian deserves a comedy special — not only did he keep us laughing through the downpour, but he somehow made science sound like a stand-up routine. The man knows his plankton! 🤣 By the end of the night, we were drenched, glowing, and happier than we’d been in weeks. 10/10 would recommend — it’s cheaper than therapy, wetter than church camp, and way more magical. ✨🪼 Go. Even if it rains. Especially if it rains.

The owner of this company went over and beyond for my family and it doesnt go unnoticed. My husband wallet was lost during out tour, and the owner drove an hour just to help us search for it, thankfully it was found threw onto the dirt road. Overall the tour was fun but we didn't see much of the Bioluminescence.

Three friends and I booked a trip that day for 10:30pm. We live a little over 2 hours away. As we were getting close we got a phone call asking where we were and if we wanted to go out earlier. We were already schedule to get there before 10:30 because the website says to arrive early, but arrived very shortly after 10, and we’re on the water by 10:15 latest. Tour was nice and guide, Jeremiah, was knowledgeable and funny. It wasn’t the best night for bioluminescence (which is completely out of their control) but we still saw many jellyfish light up, and the night and weather was so relaxing one of my friends even kept saying that out loud on the raft. Unfortunately, Jeremiah had us back on the dock early and we had turned in our gear and were back on the road by 11:15. The whole party of 4 was shorted 1/3 of the trip. An email was sent by one person in the party and the manager, Josh, was rude saying the trip notes say we were out from 10-11:15 and are always accurate. However, the trip notes also said we asked to come in early and we were celebrating breast cancer remission, but none of us have had breast cancer and we didn’t ask to come in early and we weren’t even in the parking lot at 10 let alone had gear and the intro meeting. Josh was nasty, but offered to have two people come back out. We don’t want to go back out because we’ve done the tour and the closest people are two hours away, and one person doesn’t even live in the state. He stated the website says no refunds, but he didn’t care it also states 90 minutes on the water. Instead of being called a liar and told it’s because he has a lot of people calling him to scam him. I would of preferred he offered us nothing back and just listened and say he’d talk to his employees to ensure customers are given what they paid for. Maybe he gets a lot of calls because the trip notes are not accurate and his employees, while good guides, want to go home early. I will not use this company ever again and wouldn’t want anyone else to risk it. Find another tour or bring your own raft or kayak. You don’t need a clear kayak to enjoy the bioluminescence.

I have never been treated so horribly by a company in my life. While driving to the site the guide called asking us to get there earlier than expected because he was ready to go. We were scheduled for a 10:30pm-12am time slot. We got into the water by 10:10pm we paddled around for a bit and then the guide told us we were heading in and we got back to our car by 11:15pm. So, we were all shorted 30 minutes on the raft. When I emailed and complained that we drove over 4 hours round trip and one person in our party had come from Spain to do this I never got a response back. I wrote another email over a week later stating I’ve been waiting for a response. I had 1 call from Josh today (he claims 3 but I have proof of only 1) which I missed since I was working. I called back when I was home and left a message. I was not called back instead I got a nasty email saying my group asked to go in early and he is not offering any refunds. Josh claims that his tour guides notes are never wrong and we are lying yet…. The notes state that one of us in the party was celebrating breast cancer remission and that is 100% incorrect and the notes also say that we asked to go in early which also never happened. No one in my group complained of bugs we were all saying how relaxing and nice it was. Josh continues to swear that his employees never lie so it has to be the customer. I just find it odd that the tour ahead of us asked to go in early and supposedly we did too… seems to be Jeremiah had other plans that evening and wanted to go do that instead of working and made his notes reflect that. I will never use or recommend this company. Josh is incredibly rude, nasty and unprofessional. Save your money and time or pick another company if you want to get your moneys worth.
