The Indian River Lagoon near Titusville is one of the best places in the world to experience bioluminescence — a natural phenomenon where microorganisms light up brilliant blue-green with every stroke of your paddle. This magical evening trip is unlike anything else Outdoor Adventure (OA) offers and is guaranteed to leave you speechless.
