Unique and Memorable! - Astrid, our tour guide, was genuinely interested in sharing her knowledge and experience with bioluminescent life. It was very interactive; and allowed us the opportunity to interact with nature in a free manner that transcended any fears born from inexperience. We would definitely partake again!

Awesome time with wonderful operators - Three of us drove up to experience this. We all loved it. The tour operators were so friendly, kind, generous and sweet - I think that made the trip even better than it was. The waters were warm enough for me to “swim” and behave like a kid. The bioluminescence was good, the mullets jumping around made it amazing. I would highly recommend the tour and specifically this operation - they are just awesome.

Awesome experience - The overall experience was amazing! Without any kayaking experience, my family and I decided to book this excursion. Our tour guide, Astrid, was just phenomenal and did not blink twice when our party of 5 told her we had no experience. She gave us a quick crash course and we were off. Astrid gave us lots of information about the bioluminescence. She was the calming voice in the darkness when a few of us were getting nervous and anxious. Best part of the excursion was not just seeing the bioluminescence, but also being so close to the manatees and dolphins- literally just a few feet from them! We had to stop paddling one time for fear of hurting a manatee with our paddles. Incredible!

A magical night! - Bioluminescent night kayaking was our family bucket list adventure for our Orlando vacation. Boy, oh boy! Astrid with Venture tours delivered on all fronts. She was efficient and thorough when it came to kayaking 101 with the inexperienced kayakers and quick in getting all of the experienced kayakers ready to go.
We saw fish leaping out of the water and creating the most beautiful spectacle! The bioluminescence was magical and her knowledge of the lagoon was terrific! It was really nice to be a part of a small group and get VIP treatment. We would highly recommend putting Venture tours on your trusted list of adventure guides when visiting Fl. Thanks, Astrid!!

Worth experiencing but nothing like the photos suggest - Bioluminescence is fascinating however, it’s nothing like the photos suggest. Forget the glowing blue water images. The water sparkles when agitated. Tiny flashes of light appear if you run your hand across it or if you splash some on your clothes. The trip was relaxing and great fun and it’s worth seeing bioluminescence in real life rather than the strange glowing photos.
