Would do this every single summer! - This was an absolutely magical experience for us. I would come back to visit this area of Florida again & again solely to do this again and again. Our guide, Andrew, was so knowledgeable & kind, he explained so many things to us & took us to the perfect spots to see wildlife and the bioluminescence!
If you’re on the fence about booking this experience, you just have to do it. I was nervous about kayaking, especially at night, but it was an experience I will never forget & was worth every penny!

Amazing time again! - We had another amazing time with Andrew from Sobe Surf!! The bioluminescent algae isn’t in full swing yet but we were able to see a bunch of comb jellies which was really cool to see! We were able to see some dolphins and manatees as well :). We will definitely be booking with them anytime we visit Cocoa Beach!

Incredible views and relaxing kayak ride - This was by far the best part of my trip to Florida. Andrew was a fantastic guide. He was really knowledgeable about all of the animals we saw (which I really loved) and he was super sweet and patient with all of us. The sunset we saw was so beautiful and there were quite a few dolphins we got to kayak around. It was a pretty surreal experience. I went with a small group and it was such a relaxing and beautiful evening, I will definitely be coming back any time I go to Florida.

Favorite activity of our trip! - We chose two 2-person kayaks as we are a family of four with two kids. The company got in touch with me soon after I booked to confirm. Our guide, Andrew, was so kind, friendly, and helpful. Dolphins frolicked around us while we watched the sunset. We were there in March, so the bioluminescence was present but not super strong. Andrew worked very hard to show us the best experience available at that time of year. This was definitely my favorite activity of our whole trip!
