Paid for the glow experience, 15 minutes in and our light goes out, they had no battery to replace ours and at least half the other kayaks lights when out. Was told we are sorry you can go back out without lights or you can be pulled in and leave. This was something we wanted to do and it was a disappointment not worth the $70 we paid for the kayak or getting shirts for $50 to wear out while we floated. If you pay for glow kyaks they should, glow... if it was just our kayak that would have been one thing maybe just a fluke but it was almost everybody's. When you pay for something and it doesn't work like advertised your response shouldt be you can be pulled in and leave or you can spend the rest of the time in the dark..

The glow of the paddles aren’t as bright as photos but still bright enough to see the sea floor when close to the grass. If you have never done it before, children like to do it. My son and I grabbed some hermit crabs from the shallow seaside by the grasslands and some sea slugs and then tossed them back when we were done. We also saw some dolphin tops a couple of times as well as some fish jump out of the water. It was definitely fun for the kiddos though. My daughter is 2 and she held on for dear life but she didn’t cry. For the price, I would definitely say give it a try. We did the earliest one just because we had kids but I am willing to try this again a time I don’t have my kids with me and it’s just me and my partner or friends (only adults) so we can do it when it’s completely dark outside. Also, the guys there were super nice and helpful! 9/10

The staff was very nice and attentive. Everything moved swiftly and smoothly. The only negative was not being able to see anything other than a few minnows closer to the bank.

I was in for a good experience and we had so much fun glow kayaking in the dark. Also the stars were out such a amazing adventure.

So cool to be in a floating glow kayak! It was pretty relaxing. Saw mostly small fish. One fish that looked like a mini swordfish (the size of your palm) jumped into our boat! We got it and released it in the water. Our instructor was professional and nice.

Recommend a guided tour instead of free roam tour Always a brief on how to get back in Kayak would be helpful

We really enjoyed this activity. The staff members were nice and helpful. I highly recommend giving Night Glow Kayak Paddle a try!

I liked it! Definitely was my husband and I First time. I was struggling because the wind forcing us back and forth . I mean it’s a great experience. Just make sure you have some shorts or a shirt on because you will get wet up! Bath suits or swim shorts one! The team was very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed myself , but next time I’ll try going around 7pm so I can actually see everything! My husband and I went at 8:30pm. I mean you actually can see other riders but can’t really see other things. I just think 7:30 would’ve been a great time! I loved the glow lights and how the whole set up was. I enjoyed the crew that went the same time we went. All of us had a great time! Very cheap for the price of two , but just need more time for the price🙌🏿

we had a nice time. Little bit expensive for what it was. Really they should go the extra mile with complementary water or glow-in-the-dark necklaces or something as part of the experience.

Had a great time! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I accidentally booked twice and they refunded me.

The workers were really nice but I feel we paid to get a wet butt and not see anything. Needed more light.

It was a very different experience I conquered a fear!!! it’s something I can check off my bucket list never to experience again. Great experience overall!!

It was horrible no guidance no help instructions were short and no help lights were half way out on kayak definitely wasn’t like in the pictures
Heather_G, Jun 2023
The staff is detached and not helpful.
There was a dead fish in our kayak and when we returned after 40 minutes complaining
of such, no alternate kayak was offered or rain check or discount at all.

Great time and a cool bunch of people running it. Definitely worth the money and a great thing to do!

Being on the water without our phones! So peaceful! It’s nice to slow down and enjoy the water for awhile.

this was a very fun experience! my friend and i had never gone kayaking before, but the staff was very helpful and friendly. we got the hang of it and had a fantastic time. it was very pretty
Samantha_R, Mar 2023
We arrived late so it was still nice we were able to get out there. The current was strong it was hard to steer. You couldn’t see anything, don’t think it was worth the trip we made
Amanda_K, Jul 2022
Fun for the whole family, it’s a short 45 min that will fly by once you’re on the water but it’s perfect if you’re with a little one and doing all the work lol.
Amanda_K, Jul 2022
My family and I really enjoyed this, it was a Great activity for the family! Easy to paddle, easy to get in and out! Everything was great... kayak is equipped with a little seat so your bottom stays drier and more comfortable. NOTE: You have to enter the kayak without shoes so bring easy on off shoes if possible.

Kayaking at night with the lights was the coolest experience! The guides were also very helpful and enjoyable to be around.
Steve_W, Jun 2022
Nice experience, safe, relaxing, would do it again. Guys at check-in were easy to work with too. We had a great time.
Brittanie_W, May 2022
Staff was very friendly. We only saw a couple tiny fish along the shoreline. 45 minutes went quick!!
Michelle_T, Apr 2022
Just getting started and we got to witness a dolphin! It was a great experience and we had a blast. It was a beautiful night. Staff was friendly and helpful and allowed my grandson to help others depart.
Becky_S, Apr 2022
Wasn't enjoyable. Didn't see any fish or anything. Not for elderly or weighty people. I don't have anything more to say but it won't let me post unless I write something.
Sierra_V, Mar 2022
Very reasonable prices! We went at the 6:30 time frame and watched the sunset while kayaking and it was beautiful. The whole family had a great time. The staff was very friendly.
Robyn_B, Mar 2022
it was really neat to see the sea animals from a clear and glowing kayak at night. We saw jellyfish, a stingray, and many minnows. It was also fun to paddle around the bay and see the huge homes lit up at night.
