New Moon + Peak Bioluminescence Align for Rare Nighttime Spectacle on the Space Coast

From August 15–31, during the darkest nights of the New Moon, millions of microscopic dinoflagellates will light up the lagoon’s waters with an electric-blue shimmer. This year, the peak glow coincides with a long holiday weekend, giving visitors and locals alike a once-in-a-lifetime chance to paddle through a living galaxy.
“This is nature’s fireworks show — no two nights are ever the same, and when the sky is this dark, it’s like the whole lagoon is alive with light,” — says Sandra Krasa BK, founder of BK Adventure
BK Adventure offers clear kayak tours for the ultimate under-your-feet glow, as well as family-friendly rafting tours that seat up to 8 people. Tours launch nightly from multiple Space Coast locations near Cocoa Beach and Titusville, just an hour from Orlando. Currently, the brightest locations are Haulover Canal and Kelly Park East, but visitors are encouraged to call or check BK Adventure’s social media channels for the latest glow reports.
Labor Day Weekend Highlights:
• Only Time This Year: New Moon + peak bioluminescence alignment
• Multiple Launch Sites: Titusville & Cocoa Beach
• All Ages Welcome: Perfect for couples, families, and groups
• Extremely Limited: Holiday weekends sell out days in advance
