While there are lots of exciting adventures to be had when you visit Orlando, you can quite literally illuminate your Florida experience by choosing to take advantage of one of nature’s wonders on a bioluminescence tour. Here is what you need to know about bioluminescence tours and the best one to light up your time in Orlando – a tour provided by Florida Adventurer of course!
What is bioluminescence?
Bioluminescence is a naturally occurring phenomenon that involves the production and emission of light by a living organism. This happens as a result of energy released owing to a chemical reaction that takes place either inside of, or is in ejected out of, the organism.
Many people have seen some degree of bioluminescence before and not really realized or appreciated it. For example, if you have ever seen a firefly, you will have witnessed bioluminescence at work. However, it is only when you see a large number of bioluminescent organisms together at once that you can truly appreciate just how majestic this phenomenon is.
What are bioluminescence tours?
As their name suggests, bioluminescence tours are especially guided trips that are designed to show you the wonders of bioluminescent organisms in action, and in the case of Orlando bioluminescence tours, this means dinoflagellates. Dinoflagellates are single-celled organisms that are commonly found in marine environments in high concentrations, particularly in those where the water is warmer such as the Indian River Lagoon in Brevard County, Florida.
When the water is disturbed, these large numbers of dinoflagellates are disturbed and flash their bioluminescence, causing the water to turn a magical shade of blue-green that shimmers and sparkles. If the dinoflagellates are continually disturbed by hands, fish or in the case of a kayaking bioluminescence tour, the presence of kayaks and paddles.
