About Brady Yaks
Brady Yaks runs guided kayak and paddleboard tours on the Banana River and Indian River Lagoon, launching just minutes from Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral. The company has built its reputation on Florida's most surreal natural show: bioluminescence, where billions of microscopic organisms light the water neon blue with every paddle stroke.
The signature nighttime Bioluminescent Tour runs through the summer glow season, while cooler months bring sunset and comb jelly tours where glowing jellies illuminate when touched. Daytime options include two-hour guided kayak and paddleboard tours, sunrise and sunset paddles, mangrove tours and a picnic paddle for groups, plus self-guided kayak and paddleboard rentals. Tours are beginner-friendly, with stable boats and no experience required.
What sets Brady Yaks apart is its local guides, who know exactly where the lagoon glows brightest on any given night and narrate the wildlife along the way — dolphins, manatees and wading birds are regular company. With affordable per-person pricing and launch points close to the Cocoa Beach hotel strip, it is one of the easiest ways for Space Coast visitors to experience the lagoon after dark.
