From the moment we pushed off, we could see little fish swimming all around under our kayaks—it was so cool and really beautiful. I usually get eaten alive by mosquitoes, but surprisingly, I didn’t get bitten at all! There weren’t many out, but if you’re someone they usually go after like me, I’d still bring something like Skin So Soft just in case.
The water was super calm, and the sky had some patchy clouds that made everything look kind of magical. Each kayak had lights under it that you could change to different colors, which made the whole experience even more fun. I used mine to take a few pictures of my cousin. They turned out okay, but if you want great photos, it’s worth getting the picture package—those come out way better.
The area is known for manatees and dolphins. We didn’t spot any that night, but I live nearby and see them all the time, so if you’re visiting, there’s definitely a chance you’ll see some. We also paddled through this really pretty spot where trees and brush surrounded us—it felt like something out of Disney World, but in real life. At one point, we passed a little private dock with a lantern and chairs. It looked like the perfect place to sit and drink coffee (someone’s lucky backyard!).
The guide was awesome—super friendly and full of info about the area. He even gave tips on places to check out after the tour. The paddle was just the right amount—not too long, not too short—and really easy. You can also do a tandem kayak if you want someone else to help paddle.
Overall, this was such a fun and relaxing night out with family and friends. Definitely a five-star experience and something I’d recommend to anyone!.

We had such a great time. It was a peaceful night paddle and feeding the fish was so fun. The only recommendation would be to bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are viscous.

Fun time! Aaron was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the area! I recommend doing the sunset tour.

Event was cancelled due to weather, understandable. Tour operator says I must contact Viator for refund. Found no way to contact them on website. This is my only avenue to receive my $186 refund.
Susan_R, Jun 2026
Booked a trip, it was cancelled by the company. Been trying to get a refund on our trip. No one responds to our text and no one answers the phone. Would not book with them again

Fun experience going out at night on the intercoastal waterway. We had very calm water and a very low tide. Kayaked next to the mangroves, saw a few night heron and conch shells, and fed the catfish!
Christine_S, Mar 2026
The guides were great very informative.. The experience itself was awesome . We saw lots of fish and dolphins.
Cody_A, Mar 2026
Unique experience. We came after a cold front moved through so the fish activity was low, however, it was still fun and enjoyable.
Richard_S, Mar 2026
Wonderful trip. First experience on a night trip. Aaron was a great guide and was very patient while helping some of us older folks into and out of our kayaks. Feeding the catfish was fun.
Jamie_D, Jan 2026
This was an exciting experience. It was informational. Even if we hadn’t seen any wildlife it was awesome to kayak in the dark.
Sneha_S, Dec 2025
We had so much fun. The kayaking with guide was good. We had a good experience feeding cat fish. We would recommend it to our family
Anna_A, Oct 2025
The description said there would be sea life and we would be able to feed them. We saw absolutely no sea life and we were not given any food to feed anything. The tour guides were amazing
Jeremiah_F, Oct 2025
Great time, relaxing and informative. Light is really bright so best to go on a clear, smooth night so when you feed the fish you can see them clearly
Alicia_R, Oct 2025
Definitely alot of fun! You may get a little wet. We had a little fish jump in our kayak, which was an interesting experience lol! Definitely recommend experience!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
What a fun story, a fish hitching a ride in your kayak! We're so glad you had a great time (even with a surprise passenger). Thank you for the review, and we hope to see you out on the water again soon!
Julie_W, Sep 2025
We all had a good time. The tour guides were both friendly and patient with those that weren’t familiar with kayaking.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks so much! We’re glad to hear everyone had a good time. Our guides love helping out first-timers and making sure everyone feels comfortable on the water. Hope to see you all again soon!
Dion_M, Aug 2025

Andrea_T, Jul 2025
The whole family enjoyed this experience. The guide was informative and moved at a nice place. Everyone enjoyed feeding the fish and seeing them right next to the kayak.
Sarah_F, Jul 2025
Such a great tour! The guides were wonderful and it was the perfect amount of time on the water. We even had dolphins come to play.

Such a great experience and the guides were amazing!!! We saw tons of fish and dolphins!!! Well worth the visit!!!
Dennis_I, Apr 2025
The 930 PM departure was great and everything was quiet. Great time to see the fish and the animals. It was low tide so we couldn’t do the more secluded areas (too shallow). Boats are super stable with a clear bottom. Fish feeding was amazing. Guides were super knowledgeable and friendly. I would do this again tonight if I could.
Laurie_W, Mar 2025
The experience of Kayaking at night was cool. The guys had a flat tire on the way and still made it on time. The lead guy could have padded a little slower and maybe have something to make his voice louder when he was talking about all the cool trees and islands. It was cool to feed the fish.
Sara_E, Mar 2025
The boys that did our tour were friendly, knowledgeable, and kind! The tour offers a night view of the area and the excitement of feeding the fish!
Corey_S, Mar 2025
It’s an easy paddle, we saw & fed fish and even saw a dolphin. Our teenage kids loved it and so did mom & dad.
Terri_H, Feb 2025
I’m glad the money goes to a good cause. This event was too much money and too much effort to “maybe” see some catfish. The bottom of the boat is not see through. The lights are on the front, where you can’t see from the craft.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you so much for your honest feedback. I'll be sure to share your suggestions with the owners, especially regarding improvements to the glass bottoms of our kayaks and repositioning the lights to enhance the overall experience. Your input helps us improve, and we sincerely hope you'll consider joining us again in the future.
Thanks again,
Joe

seeing the fish come up to the boat and swimming by the boat. going through thr marsh was also fun out at night is scary
Karla_E, Sep 2024
Me and my friend never kayaked before but by the end we were pros. best part was when we were in the mangroves and fish were flying around us.
Donna_F, Aug 2024
Great experience! We were given detailed information about safety and what to expect during the tour. Our guide was very informative about the habitats we encountered and was calm and assuring.
Try it!
Rebecca_W, Aug 2024
It was ok at first, we took the sunset tour and the tour guide was great. But the description was deceiving. It made it sound like the kayaks was going to be lit up with LED lights and we were going to see all kinds of fish but the lights looked like glow sticks and the water was murky and all we saw was catfish. And I struggled to keep up with the group because he was going too fast and we were going against the wind and my arms were super tired. I thought it was going to be a leisurely ride but be ready for a workout that lasts over an hour. Overall the experience was ok, my kids thought it was neat but it’s not worth what it cost.
