'The Grinch Who Stole the Glow' Debuts near Cocoa Beach as a New Holiday Bioluminescent Rafting Experience

BK Adventure’s Glow-in-the-Dark Holiday Rafting Tour Brings Mischief and Laughter to Families and Groups Seeking an Alternative to Orlando Theme Parks.

COCOA BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, November 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This December, Florida’s Space Coast will feature a new seasonal attraction combining holiday storytelling with one of the state’s most unique natural phenomena. BK Adventure has announced the launch of The Grinch Who Stole the Glow, a holiday-themed bioluminescent rafting tour taking place at Kiwanis Island Park near Cocoa Beach on select nights throughout the month.

Running every Friday and Saturday in December, the tour takes place at Kiwanis Island Park near Cocoa Beach and combines the magic of Florida’s natural bioluminescence with playful holiday mischief and comedy.

A Christmas Tour That Literally Glows
Instead of traditional Christmas lights, the lagoon itself becomes the star of the show. Winter is peak season for bioluminescent comb jellies, harmless, glowing organisms that sparkle and flash blue-green as rafts move through the water. With every paddle stroke and splash, the water illuminates, creating a real-life glow-in-the-dark river.
Guests float together on large, stable rafts led by expert BK Adventure guides. And just as they settle in to enjoy the beauty of nature, he appears. The Grinch, in true dramatic fashion, paddles on his own festively decorated kayak, interrupting the tour, stealing attention, cracking comments, and dramatically plotting to “steal the glow from Christmas."

Perfect for Families, Friends, and Holiday Groups

The experience is designed for:
• Families with children (Ages 3+)
• Multi-generational holiday visitors
• Friend groups and work teams
• Tourists looking for unique things to do near Orlando and Cocoa Beach
• Anyone tired of theme park crowds and shopping mall chaos

This adventure is the best option for those who want to enjoy Florida’s bioluminescence without paddling a kayak. Each raft holds up to 8–9 guests. Smaller parties are paired with others, creating a shared group experience on the water.

The tour lasts approximately 1.5–2 hours and includes:
• Interactive encounters with the Grinch
• A guided bioluminescent rafting experience
• Holiday music and themed photo opportunities
• A decorated launch site for festive pictures
• Candy canes at check-in (attempted theft by the Grinch not guaranteed but likely)
• All safety equipment and gear provided
And yes, the Grinch absolutely will try to steal your glow.

A Must-Do Holiday Experience Near Orlando & Theme Parks
Located less than an hour from Orlando, the tour offers families and travelers a refreshing and unforgettable alternative to crowded theme parks and commercial attractions.
It’s weird. It’s wild. It’s wonderfully different.
Searches for “Things to do near Orlando in December” and “Unique Christmas experiences in Florida” continue to surge, and BK Adventure’s Grinch Glow Tour has quickly become one of the most talked-about seasonal attractions on the Space Coast.
“This is the kind of experience people come to Florida for and never imagine they’ll find,” Espinoza added. “It’s funny, it’s beautiful, it’s outside, it’s memorable, and it only happens a few nights a year.”
