Merritt Island, FL – July 2, 2025 – Calypso Kayaking is encouraging visitors to take advantage of one of the brightest bioluminescent experiences of the year by booking a tour during the upcoming new moon phases. With no moonlight to compete with the natural glow, these special nights offer the most vivid bioluminescence seen in the Indian River Lagoon—a bucket-list adventure that’s drawing attention across Florida and beyond.

Running from June through September, Florida’s bioluminescent season reaches its peak during new moon windows, when the sky is at its darkest. Guests on Calypso Kayaking’s Bioluminescent Nighttime Kayak Tours can expect a surreal experience as glowing plankton—called dinoflagellates—light up with every movement of the water.

“New moon nights are when the lagoon really comes alive,” said Phil Galloway, Owner of Calypso Kayaking. “Without moonlight, the water practically sparkles with every paddle stroke. It’s hands down the most magical time to join one of our tours.”

Why Book During the New Moon Phase?

• Maximum Glow: The darker the night sky, the more dramatic the bioluminescence appears.

• Limited Availability: New moon tours are in high demand and typically sell out weeks in advance.

• Unmatched Atmosphere: Paddle beneath a starlit sky with glowing trails of blue-green light beneath your kayak—a natural light show you won’t find anywhere else.

What to Expect on the Tour

Calypso Kayaking’s guided nighttime tours are designed for all experience levels and include:

• Kayaks and all safety gear

• Knowledgeable eco-guides who explain the science and ecology behind the glow

“Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, a new moon bioluminescent tour is something you’ll remember forever,” Galloway added. “We love seeing the reactions—it’s pure wonder.”
