Dan and Natasha were fantastic guides! Both were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and very patient and helpful. The night time kayaking is definitely an experience you don’t want to pass up if you get the opportunity.

Had a lot of fun. I learned a thing or two about thee holes in shells. Now looking differently about the shells I see. It was neat.

This was one of my absolute favorite parts of visiting Sarasota. The Clear Kayak LED Night Glass Bottom Tour was such a beautiful experience, especially being out on the water at sunset and then seeing everything light up at night. It was peaceful, unique, and such a memorable way to experience Siesta Key.
The tour guides, Matt and Corbin, were amazing. You could tell they both genuinely love what they do and really care about making sure everyone has a great experience.
This was my first time kayaking, and I was also doing the tour solo, so I was definitely a little nervous at first. Corbin was especially patient and kind. When I was having trouble turning around and keeping up with the group, they calmly helped by attaching my kayak and towing me along so I could relax and enjoy the experience instead of feeling stressed or embarrassed.
They made me feel completely comfortable and supported, which meant so much as a first-time kayaker and solo traveler. Because of their patience and encouragement, I was able to fully enjoy what turned out to be one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences of my trip.
I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sarasota — especially if you’ve never kayaked before. Don’t let that stop you. You’ll be in great hands with Matt and Corbin.

Our guide Cory, was GREAT even tho hes a Broncos fan! But the trip was smooth and easy, we found lots of critters and he even brought them back so we could all see them in the light! Over all it was a GREAT experience! Would def go again!
Bill_H, May 2026
It was a fun time. The guides were great and knowledgeable. You can find shells and other sea life..
Tess_D, May 2026
I never kayaked before - even with healthy challenges - it was a relaxing, fun and an informative adventure! I wasn’t really sore either the next day - my point is… go enjoy it! Our guide, Cody showed us a lot fascinating creatures and we even saw some dolphins! I highly recommend this trip!
Jennifer_B, May 2026
Dan and Becky were absolutely fabulous. The tour had a very specific grief cleansing goal to it for me, Becky prayed over me and shared not only her knowledge but her heart with me. Not just can help you learn to Kayak, that takes skill and patience then add the sea life explanations and light hearted spirit of it all. This tour ROCKED and so did Dan and Becky. Book TODAY you won’t regret it.
James_D, May 2026
This was a really great experience! We got a beautiful sunset followed by a really fun hunt for aquatic life in the dark! We had no previous kayaking experience, but were able to keep up without trouble! Our guides were wonderful and extremely knowledgeable!
Kelsi_B, Apr 2026
Ed and Cory were great. A cool experience would definitely recommend doing it! Got to see some a ton of crabs, fish and even a squid!
Jenny_M, Apr 2026
Dan was friendly and knowledgeable. I feel like he had just as much fun being our guide as we did out there. I would definitely do it again!
Sarah_L, Apr 2026
Arrived on a warm but windy night. Water was choppy but our group decided to go for it! An adventure for sure!
Jeanie_J, Apr 2026
We absolutely hated this!!!! But most people wont. You will get wet....prepare for that! I realized all too late that this was not for me. However, Dan was amazing and encouraging and got us through the whole thing without us capsizing. If you love new adventures and being in the water, this is for you. Being in the kayak and seeing what was in the water below you was really cool! 5 stars all the way for the opportunity and for the guidance by Dan.
Terry_D, Apr 2026
Guide is knowledgable, eager to help and explain about the creatures you can find and the area in general.
Kim_L, Apr 2026
Cory was very knowledgable about the types of fish in the area. It was windy so we didn’t see many fish but it was beautiful to be on the water at night with the boat lit up.
Faith_B, Mar 2026
It was nice but a bit underwhelming.
Matt was informative as to the marine life as well as the history of the horseshoe crab.
Rachel_A, Mar 2026
It was a lot of fun and we saw some really neat creatures. Fish, rays, hermit crabs and we were able to catch and release to see what we found.
Sara_G, Feb 2026
Super fun trip! Peaceful and got to see a beautiful sunset. Our guide found lots of neat creatures and shells to share with us. Highly recommend!
Kate_H, Jan 2026
Fun paddle! The views are amazing and we had a wild needle fish attempt to board. Sunset was gorgeous and we saw lots of marine life.
Stephen_A, Jan 2026
Our guide Steven was a great guide and good person. We had a lot of fun. I actually had a needlefish jump out of water right into my boat, which was really funny.
Daniel_W, Dec 2025
I’m local and it was a Great experience, layer back tour guide, trip wasn’t too short or too long, highly recommend it no matter your situation
Deidre_T, Dec 2025
This is an amazing experience for young and old. One thing you need to know is that nature is unpredictable so, you can’t be upset if you don’t see a ton of wildlife. The water was calm, the night beautiful and the overall feeling amazing! Our family always looks for unique experiences and this is in our top 10. Our guides were excellent and made sure they shared the wildlife that was caught in their nets with all. In addition, they were very respectful of the wildlife and stressed that all visitors should be as well. I highly recommend taking this opportunity when you are in Florida.
Peggy_L, Dec 2025
It was so much fun. Steve not only made our kayak experience safe, he made it educational as well. I would highly recommend this tour. Would definitely do it again.
Joseph_V, Dec 2025
The trip was great. As experienced paddlers we questioned the value but were pleasantly surprised. The experience of being in the mangroves at night, the view of the shallow bottoms presented by the lights and the discovery of wildlife surrounding us was magical. The guide, Steve, was great; helpful, knowledgeable, informative, adapted to our desires, assisted greatly with a handicapped member of our group - just did an excellent job overall. We all agreed that it would have been valuable to bring our own headlights, flashlights, etc. to look for birds roosting in the mangroves to add to our viewing pleasure. Easy trip for all ages. Our group included several 75+ elders.
Grace_V, Oct 2025
I expected to see a good variety of fish and instead, only saw lots of oyster shells and needle fish. The kayak launching area was not safe nor easy to navigate. On a positive side, our guide, Dan, was very nice with a good sense of humor. He also offered a lot of insight of what we were seeing.
ping_c, Sep 2025
Don called us ahead of time and waited for us to make sure you get to the right location.
He is enthusiastic about his job, which is inspiring.
We definitely recommend his tours, and he needs to be recognized!
Allison_V, Sep 2025
Loved our kayak tour with Dan! My sister and I planned the tour as our first nighttime activity once we got to Siesta Key and it was a great activity to start our trip. We got to see fish, crabs, conch, and lots of other sea creatures. The excursion was a blast and Dan, our tour guide, kept us laughing. Definitely a great way to start a trip!
Tiffany_L, Aug 2025
The guides were awesome and very knowledgeable! Water wasn’t quite as clear as I’d hoped. Please be advised your butt will get wet!
Nick_T, Aug 2025
Our tour guide was Dan and he was absolutely amazing! Super knowledgeable guy, very nice and funny and took us to safe fun areas to catch whatever we could find.
Jennifer_Y, Aug 2025
This was a really cool experience! I was a single and my twins shared a kayak. It was a good workout! The guide was very informative and funny!
Stacy_M, Aug 2025
Fun night. Your feet will get wet! Our guides Larry and Dean were great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. We loved the views and searching through sea life.
