There is truly nothing more in tune with nature than grabbing your kayak and sailing down a crystal blue river. The serene peace of nature is even more beautiful at night. Fortunately, there are numerous kayaking companies in Florida that will allow you to paddle under the beautiful moonlight.

Kayaking is one of Florida's favorite pastimes. With so much water in and around the state, the Sunshine State is truly a water lover's playground.

You can dive in crystal blue springs or jump the waves at any stretch of beach along Florida's near-800 miles of coastline. But there is a certain beauty that comes with grabbing your buddy and kayaking a splendid natural habitat, especially at night.

Whether it's a bioluminescence tour on the Space Coast or a night kayak in the warm waters surrounding Key West, there is just something truly magical about being at one with the water while the moon sparkles above you.
