ADVENTURE DETAILS.

Experience one of the most unique adventures in Florida with our Neon Nights Glow Paddle Adventure!
Launching from beautiful Kiwanis Island Park in Merritt Island, you’ll explore calm, shallow waterways lined by lush mangroves — all illuminated by the vibrant glow of your paddleboard’s underwater LED lighting system.

Choose a Sunset Glow Paddle, where you’ll glide through golden skies and spot dolphins, manatees, and a variety of sea life before the lights come on — or opt for a Late-Night Glow Paddle under the stars or a full moon, when the water beneath you comes alive.
On select nights, you may even have the unforgettable experience of watching a shuttle launch light up the sky while you paddle!

The colorful lights attract fish, rays, comb jellies, and other marine creatures, creating an incredible underwater show just beneath your board.
