A One-of-a-Kind Christmas Experience — Equal Parts Glow, Giggles & Grinch!

This holiday season, skip the crowded stores and trade the tangle of Christmas lights for something far more magical — a glowing night on the water, starring nature’s bioluminescence and one very dramatic green troublemaker.

Step into the sparkling darkness of Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, see the Comb Jellies light up. It’s not Christmas décor — it’s real bioluminescence. Then, just as you start settling into the peaceful glow… he shows up.

The Grinch, in all his grouchy glory, crashes the party.

He’s swapped his sleigh for a kayak and is determined to steal the glow, your candy canes, and maybe even your holiday cheer but we’re pretty sure he’s having the time of his life.

This is Florida’s quirkiest, glowiest, most unforgettable holiday experience — a little mischief, a lot of magic, and memories brighter than any string of lights.

Our Grinch holiday paddle is more than a seasonal theme — it’s an immersive, interactive Christmas adventure on the water.

It’s a perfect blend of holiday silliness and natural wonder — ideal for families, couples, and friend groups who want something a little different this year.

When you arrive at our holiday-decorated launch spot, our cheerful crew (some may or may not secretly be Whos) gets you checked in and geared up for your glowing night.

Every tour includes:
💚 A mischievous, interactive experience with the Grinch
💚 A guided bioluminescent rafting tour through the Indian River Lagoon
💚 A festive photo area for holiday pictures
💚 Candy canes at check-in — if the Grinch doesn’t snag them first
💚 Music, cheer, and seasonal fun
💚 All gear and safety equipment provided

✨ A Lagoon That Lights Up Like Holiday Magic
See the illuminating comb jellies that light up — real, touchable natural beauty.

✨ Playful Grinch Shenanigans
He paddles in his kayak and visits your raft, mutters about the holidays, interrupts your photos, and tries (poorly) to hide how much fun he’s having.

✨ Great for Families & Groups
Everyone loves the Grinch and the Glow

✨ Photo Spots Everywhere
Snap pics with the Grinch, capture the glowing jellies, or take family holiday portraits at our decorated launch area.

✨ Limited Dates Only (Dec 19, 20, 26 & 27)
Once the season ends, the Grinch retreats back to his mountaintop until next year!

In the winter, Florida’s lagoon transforms as Comb Jellies arrive — harmless, mesmerizing creatures that light up when touched. 

When we saw the lagoon glowing like Christmas lights, we knew we had to bring a holiday twist to the water and thus, the Grinch Glow Tour was born.

Our large, stable rafts hold up to 10 guests, making this trip fun, safe, and comfortable for all ages. No paddling experience required — just curiosity and a sense of humor.

Your guide will share fun facts about the wildlife, the lagoon, and maybe a few jokes that even the Grinch can’t ruin.

Our tours prioritize the health of the Indian River Lagoon. We use non-motorized vessels, respect wildlife, and educate guests on how to protect this fragile ecosystem. Every glowing paddle stroke helps raise awareness for conservation.

This tour only runs a few nights each Christmas and it sells out quickly.
