- In today's video we head over to Mims, Florida to set out on the Indian River to do some Bioluminescent Kayaking! Thank you to BK Adventures for providing us with this experience to share with you! We cast off from a boat launch located in naturally protected land owned by Kennedy Space Center! Because it is protected land the wildlife is abundant there. The main form of wildlife we were there to see was the dinoflagellates. They are a type of plankton that uses a chemical reaction call bioluminescent as a defense mechanism to scare off predators. We went out in our clear kayaks on the night of a new moon which is when the night is the darkest so we could see the bioluminescent reaction the best! All in all it was a fantastic night and a truly magical experience!

Thanks for the great video! We loved having you out for the Bioluminescence Tour with us! Thanks for promoting and protecting Florida wildlife Amazing Animals, Inc. of Saint Cloud!
I tell ya Tim, I'm here for the Parks BUT if you never went again to one (how sad) I'd still watch your channel. The Florida Tourism Board needs to sponsor you both for all you do around Florida outside of the Parks. Thank-you, such a wonderful vid!
Thank you so much for you comment! It means a lot to us to hear that!
I have been so excited by some of the recent non theme park content too. Not that I dislike that content but there is so much more to Florida... :D
I agree with everything Apple Six said as well.
My daughter said that the bioluminescence was the grandmother from Moana!
It totally was!!!
When the Kayaking guide says "I watch you on TH-cam and I feel like I'm between the stars, this is amazing!" that's freaking awesome. So glad these two and the positivity they bring are able to see and hear the impact they have on others.
Yay, I was so happy to see Jenn in the thumbnail. Love when you two appear in the videos together
ItaliAngel She’s been in the videos more often I love it! They had personal stuff going on.
Jenn always makes the videos better! Any time we can go somewhere together we prefer it, but if you see me out and about by myself it's because Jenn is back home editing the video from the day before.
I’m not first
I’m not last
But when the Tim tracker uploads
I click fast
Chris and stuff :3 are you dr. Suess Cousin bro.
BHOP N1GhT u realize this is stolen
Hehe! :-)
Woah I’m watching this 5 moths later didn’t realize how many likes this got 😂
"I got hit in the head by a fish" - Tim Tracker. One of the best quotes ever and said in such a passive tone.
My hair had fish slime in it for the rest of the night. lol!
@@TheTimTracker All naturale' hair gel. How suave of you.
The Leo Hunt right
"It's like we're gliding through stars." ✨
Love this! Definitely adding to the bucket list.
WOW!! I loved this. I honestly like it when they do different things. keeps it fresh. Go you Jenn for getting into a Kayak pregnant!
Courtney Leath I was surprised when she did too! I would be too scared at night, especially pregnant!
This was such a great experience! We have a bunch more videos planned with our friends from Amazing Animals!
TheTimTracker Can’t wait to see!! I’m looking to stay extra days after Disney and find other things to do!
My brother and I done this the first time we went to florida and this year and its my favourite memory! It was amazing I definitely recommend it x
This is now one of our favorite memories too! It was so amazing!
My wife and I did a tour similar to this in the same area last year. We vacationed in Cocoa Beach and did a sunset tour with another company. It was the coolest experience of our lives. We actually saw a gator bed where a gator had a couple of babies. We didn’t see any sharks but a couple of dolphins. Our guide said that they rarely see sharks if ever. We a dolphin was heading straight down the canal for us and then went under our kayak. My wife was freaking out. Such a cool experience. I love vacationing on the space coast!!!
Am I only only one who thought of Moana watching that beautiful blue. Nature is incredible! Would love to do this one day 💙
They protecc
They attacc
But
Most
Importantly...
They kayacc
So ding dang awesome, I definitely want to try this one day!! Thanks for showing us so many wonderful things to do in FL!!
It really was amazing! I could have spent all night out there!
Wow!!! What an amazing experience. And what a lovely guy the owner is too. Thank you for sharing this side of Florida with us here in the UK x
It really was such an amazing experience and BK Adventures is a fantastic company!
Rom gave such an amazing tour...that looks spectacular, Love the clear kayaks and enviro friendlyness!
What an epic thing to do, WOW!
This was such a great video! I love it when you guys show us some more unusual things that are available to experience in central Florida, and your enthusiasm for the wildlife and environment is so inspiring. Thank you for taking us out with you! More videos like this (with you having a great time) please!!
We have a bunch of new videos with our friends from Amazing Animals planned! We also talked with BK Adventures and found out they have a bunch of other unique ecotourism adventures too!
That sounds great! I'm going to make sure to go and visit your capybara enclosure the next time I'm in Florida :)
That video was perfect. It was educational, interesting, surprising, I love seeing you both simply enjoying what Florida wildlife has to offer and I think it's amazing that people like you, who are watched by thousands of people, promote ecosystems' beauty and talk about eco-responsibility.
I love that you show that there’s more than Disney when you vacation in FL. Such a cool experience and go Jen. I went kayaking at 20 weeks and it was rough.
There is so much to do in Florida! That is definitely one of the things we love about this state. :-)
Amazing! I never even knew this was a thing. So interesting, and Brian and Kylie really know their stuff, great having their contribution too!
We were so happy to have Brian and Kylie there, I don't think I could have said all that they said correctly! lol!
I cannot like this video enough! If we ever vacation in Florida outside of the theme parks this is on the top of my list!!! Thank you for sharing all the FL has to offer.
I did this in Puerto Rico! Words can't even describe how cool everything around you is. The stars and the sky was beautiful! Can't forget how cool to see the fish underwater and the lights! :)
This sounds and looks beyond amazing! I live not to far away and have never heard of this, will definitely be booking a trip to do it!!
You should totally do it! Be sure to wear long clothes and bring bug spray!
I love it when you guys highlight some of the cool things to do off the beaten path in Florida. You balance it very well with the theme park content. It would get a little old if it was one lesser known adventure for one theme park vlog, but right now a lot of us get excited for these trips when you post them.
Im so glad FL has this!
In Vieques, PR, I got to do the bio-luminesent tour on a boat back when ppl were allowed to SWIM on the water ( it stopped being like that in the early 2010's). It was an amazing experience. Went back a few yrs ago w my husband on a kayaking tour and we saw the Milky Way and someone saw a manta ray.
Scooping the water is like having a thousands of little stars twinkling in you hand. Beautiful.
Cannot wait to try this again with the clear kayaks!
I went to SeaWorld a couple weekends ago for the first time in about 16 years. I SWEAR I have amusement park withdrawals. So I hopped on TH-cam to watch some POVs thinking it would help. Of course, I stumbled across your channel. Now I can’t stop watching all of your trips and adventures. But this one especially is close to home! I work at Sebastian Inlet State Park just south of Mims, Florida. I highly recommend, if you haven’t already, going on one of our Turtle Walks. We are full this season but each May we take reservations for June and July. I think you guys would really enjoy them! Anyway, thank you for all your great content to feed my amusement park withdrawals and also to show the importance of Environmental Protection! 😊💕
I love your love and support of nature and wildlife. You all are making Walt Disney proud!
We love animals! :-)
Hey I’ve been binge watching all ur videos recently! Going on holiday to Disney Florida on Thursday! ☺️☺️ Love the channel keep it up guys👍
Blue Lightning I’m leaving today
Awesome! We hope you enjoy your trip to Florida!
Thank you for posting this. We have wanted to do this for a long time. After seeing your video we booked with BK Adventures right away and we did it the next day, as the timing was perfect with the new moon! We had an amazing time and couldn't believe our eyes. The bioluminescence is incredible.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us! My uncle has a new housing development in Orlando which has provided the extended family a place to stay there. It's SO great to learn about amazing experiences like this (that AREN'T just visiting the parks!) My partner and I were like "Oh my god, we need to do this!" And the fact that it's close to the Kennedy Space Centre is also wonderful as we'd love to see a shuttle launce one day. You just planned the perfect east coast day-trip for us!! WOW!
Have had this video in my head for 4 years and now my daughter and I are planning to do this in June! CANNOT WAIT
This was the coolest video, I really enjoyed it. Tim and Jenn, seriously thank you for being amazing and creative and thank you for always taking us along for a great time!
I love the parks and the other activities but I really love to see and hear about the real and less touristy aspects of Florida. Thank you both.
Wow - this was SO TOTALLY COOL! Thank you SO much for sharing! I would LOVE to do this - both during the day, to see more wildlife, and night, for the bioluminescene - it's like Pandora come to life!! AWESOME!!
Big hugs to both of you, Baby Boy Tiny Tracker, and Bandit!!
Great video. Thanks for doing a video on bioluminescent plankton. I love the park and DIY videos, but it's great to see a video on other things to do in central Florida.
You are very welcome!
I agree, I started off watching you guys for Disney content, but now I watch everything! Your videos are just a nice way to take a break and enjoy an interesting and positive experience. I really wish we would have run into you earlier in the month while we were vacationing at Disney, but who knows, maybe next time. Keep up the fantastic job you both do, you are so enjoyable to watch!
What fun! It's great to get away from the city lights and really enjoy the stars.
Adding to my bucket list! 🤗📝❤🌌🚣
Excellent! It was so much fun and looked amazing!
The way you both look at each other during conversation is so eerily beautiful 😭
Good video
This looks so cool. I love how you guys do all these unique things together!
It really was a super cool experience!
Thank you for noting the bugs! It's not something everyone would think about if they come from a non-swampy area. Disney does such a good job of keeping mosquitoes in check around their property, it's easy to forget how bad they are in other parts of Florida. My husband has a severe reaction to the obnoxious little bugs, so if we ever do this, we'll be sure to take that advice to heart!
Great Video. Love you showing all the wildlife of Florida recently. You should show more wildlife videos of all the great animals of Florida.👏👏 Also I have that same Toy Story Beach Towel Jen has.😁
This looked really, really cool! Thanks Tim and Jenn, these other things that you can do other than theme parks are awesome 👏
It was such an amazing experience!
This looked amazing! When I return to Central FL one day this will be on my list to do. Thanks Tim and Jen
I LOVE it when the two of you go off on little trips to non-theme park places! It's so much fun to watch. Don't get me wrong. The theme park vids are a lot of fun too, but these random trips to other destinations to do other activities is a nice change of pace. Keep up the good work and keep enjoying what you do. You bring a lot of joy to A LOT of people.
Wow, what a magical experience! Thanks for sharing!!
It really was super magical!
This video is just another GREAT reason to visit Florida.
We watch a lot of videos on TH-cam and they are often so dull.. Your videos are always so refreshing! 😊🥰
Ohmygoodness that looked amazing! I could feel your frustration that the camera wasn’t doing it justice but what I could make out looked out of this world. I love that you are shining a light on conservation and natural environments. K x
WOW! That looks like it would be amazing! Definitely adding this to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your adventures :)
It looks even more amazing in person!
Next time my husband and I come to Florida and go to Kennedy Space Center, I will absolutely be adding this on to our day! This was amazing to see in a video and I can’t wait to see it in person one day!
Wow! Thank you Tim and Jenn for such a cool video. I definitely want to go on the bioluminescent tour! I would be interested to go during the day too to see the manatees, and possibly a Florida panther!😊
Seriously enjoyed this one, and your co-hosts were soo full of fascinating info!! Bring them back again someday!!
That is the most beautiful site I have ever seen, thank you Tim and Jan you guys are fantastic
I love your videos get I’m excited for the baby bean
We are super excited too!
I love seeing this old/rural/weird/natural Florida content! There's so much more to our state than just the theme parks.
I love these kinds of videos! Two nature videos back to back is 😍
never knew Florida had anything like this, what an amazing experience, and what a great suggestion to pair it with the Space Center.
You guys get to experience so many amazing things!! Absolutely fantastic!!
Omg that was amazing!! Love all the park stuff but really enjoy when you do stuff like this! So cool to see!
I swam in some of this off Panama. It was green and a highlight of my life. No words can describe it.
Woah! This looks right up my ally! Next time I come from England to Orlando I’m so doing this!!! Thank Tim, Jenn and Rom!
That was the coolest thing I've seen in a while and it looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Amazing video! 👍👍😊
So exciting! New item for my bucket list! Thank you!
I've heard Puerto Rico had this but I didn't know that we had this in Florida.
I was fine until you said "maybe we see sharks". I thought " oh no..." I might have to rethink this.
When we visit PR last summer we did a walking tour and saw the bio bay from a boardwalk. I didn't know we had this just 3ish hours up the road from where we live. Laf.
We have gotten a few comments about the bioluminescent bays in Puerto Rico, we might have to take a trip down there to see them!

@@TheTimTracker where we went was part of an ecotour just outside San Juan near Fajardo. They use just kayaks or walking tours. There is a bio bay in the south west also, near LA parguera. From my understanding they use boats with gas/diesel engines through out the area and it is not as good down there. YMMV.
I have been in these water as a local all my life. Never seen a shark. They are there but we mostly see alligators at beacon 42 and haulover canal
That’s so awesome! I know I started following you guys for the Disney content but when you do wildlife tours and things like that I really enjoy it!
Ding Dang you guys! This video was spectacular! I am blown away at all the cool things Florida has to offer. This was pretty darn cool :-) Nice work peeps!
That looked so funny Jenn wow glowing paddles .so cool
You know I love the parks but I do equally love when you take us to other places in Florida. I am positive Char and I are going to book this on our next trip this fall. It look so incredible.
TheHolyMoly Awesome! 👍
BK is the best! Their guides are extremely knowledgable and fun. This is one of the coolest best kept secrets here...well ok it was lol. Jealous you have the special camera lol.
This is so super cool, I’m thrilled that BK Adventure hosted you for this! I’m so happy that more and more companies are recognizing how amazing your videos you are and how wide of an audience you reach, and are trusting you to spread the info about different experiences. You guys deserve this so much!!!
That looked amazing will be adding this to our list of new things to do thanks Tim & Jen
Great video as always guys. But I kept thinking about this.....
“I see. She’s taken a barnacle, and she’s covered it in bioluminescent algae. As a diverrrrrrsion”
-Tamatoa, from Moana.
OMG this is so cool! Thanks for sharing, we just added this to our Florida bucket list! ✨
This is on my must do list, but health challenges are making it tough rn. Glad I got to experience this with you! Would love to do this next year.
Wendy Gaul same here my heath stinks but living through them is amazing
Wow very nice!! 😎👍 so many hidden gems all over!
I did this exact tour while I was 8 months pregnant. The best part (and kind of scarey) was seeing manatees with their babies getting startled under our kyayak and giving me the ride of a lifetime. Was so beautiful.
What a cool thing to get to do! The beginning shot of the ride down the Florida road made me think of your old time vlogs! Nice to see Jenn, but I was worried about her if the kayak tipped over. So glad she was safe!
You guys make me want to move out of Boston 😩 There’s nothing here and every day you guys are on a new adventure I want to experience the same type of freedom
Tyler Janae
If we did not have Pensacon up here in Pensacola. They also would make me think about moving down to Orlando or close to Orlando. It would only take about 6 to 8 hours to move down to Orlando or close to Orlando.
Hi
Great Video. I LOVE that you guys have started making videos about Florida Wildlife. You should make more videos about Florida’s amazing animals and more safaris. I also have the same Toy Story 4 beach towel as Jen 😁😁😁👏👏👏
In the the parts of the video where you are showing the water and you are paddling did you speed it up or did you actually row that fast.
We have a ton of videos about Florida wildlife, but here is a video featuring our friends from Amazing Animals: th-cam.com/video/eRS0VytEbfU/w-d-xo.html Also, the video from us paddling is not sped up.
Wow, loved the video, this has to be a must do own my list of things to do in Florida. You have enlightened me about new places I never knew about in Florida which I think is AWESOME!! Thanks soooo much!!
Just got to watch
Amazing tim and jenn really enjoyed this vlog it's marvellous what mother nature gives us
This looks like such an AMAZING experience. It was stunningly beautiful.
Great to see you both having a great time thanks for sharing your videos
This is so cool. Thank you guys for letting all of us live vicariously through you
This is legit the coolest thing I've ever seen and I must do it now! Thanks for this amazing video!!
Amazing! New addition to the bucket list!
Wow! Must have been a great experience! I think I would have freaked out if a fish hit me on my head! 😂 Love your vlogs! 😍
Just saw a video of a girl on a rollercoaster and a bird flew into her head while they were up. Pretty funny but it would freak me out she still enjoyed the ride dont know if the bird did said she had a scratch and some feathers on her
@@chrismartin2123 😮😮😮
Hehe! It wasn't too scary or anything, it just kind of smacked me in the back of the head as it jumped over our boat.
So cool! Thank you so much for share this!
ahh! I am so excited to see this. I saw this tour a few mths ago online and have been wanting to go. This was a great video and now I really want to do this. Thank you!
You definitely should do it! It was so amazing to see!
This was super cool to watch - thanks for showing us!
My wife and I did this last year with the same tour group while visiting and it was so amazing, beautiful water when you look down and amazing star gazing when you look up! One of our best memories of florida! My sister was also there and she got hit in the face by a fish jumping out the water! 😂 Very hard to photograph the bio but if you do a long exposure it works! Thank you for making this video!
Jenn your editing was so lovely on this video! Love it!
I love pandora so much that this is on my bucket list now!!!! Lol!
It really felt like real life Pandora!
I swam in water like this while in Jamaica and it was absolutely amazing...one of the most amazing things I've ever seen
Wow 😮 out of all cities in Florida Mims such a small town also where I live glad you guys enjoyed it. Definitely has it’s perks. Funny story a few years back my brother and a friend of his actually hung out with Tim for a while at HHN at Universal. We were just talking about it because we know the guy who did your tour! Love watching your videos! Congratulations on being 🤰❤️
This video was amazing you guys! I watch every day and have for years and this video was one of my favorites! So cool! I want to do this some day allthough i will say the fish jumping in the boat frighten me! Lol
Absolutely Beautiful and Amazing!!!!!
This was such an awesome video! I will definitely look into this next time I'm in Florida. I love how you guys bring us such interesting and fun things to do in Florida. Thank you for such wonderful content!
In Puerto Rico there’s a few place where you can see bioluminescent water too 😍
