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.

My experience did not happen at all. The location changed last minute and I did not get the text in time enough to make it there 15 minutes before launching. We arrived at 8 when we were supposed to be there at 745. I realize we were late, but the travel time took twice as long as the original location and not being familiar with the area slowed us down a bit too. The icing on the cake was when we did arrive the others in the group were just getting their kayaks out, and someone in the group noticed us and said something and the kayak guide was being obnoxious saying things like "well you guys arrived on time like you were supposed to, unlike them, so we are going to continue our tour on time like planned" it was embarrassing and rude, therefore we did not want to go on the later tour with this guide that was just bashing us in front of a bunch of strangers. Very unprofessional. Plus there were no refunds of course. I was very excited to go on this experience, and our evening of vacation was ruined.

Not a lot going on here you paddle around in a very small area with a net through some grass trying to find sea creatures-we found nothing. Lack luster for the price. Not worth it.

Lighted kayaks were cool, tour was somewhat interesting with the facts given to us by the tour guide Jed about the pelicans, mangroves, etc. However, we sat on the water doing alot of nothing while the guide chatted quite a while with a couple about things unrelated to the tour. Beside the Pelicans in the trees, we did not see much of anything else.

We had a really fun experience! Eddie and John were great guides! I would definitely recommend the night tour.
KimberlyA_E, Jun 2026
A lot of fun and easy to do for any age. Instructors are very nice and accommodating.
You will definitely get wet so recommend a bathing suit.

We had such an amazing clear kayak LED night tour experience! Our guide Cory and his daughters were wonderful and made the whole trip so much fun. We loved exploring and seeing the sea creatures along the way. The views were beautiful, especially with the city lights, and the whole experience felt so peaceful and relaxing. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it!✨🚣🏻♀️

Fantastic time with Cory and group. Great energy, lots of dad jokes, and fun tour experience. Been on lots of kayaking tours but the lite up glass on at night will always be memorable
Tina_K, May 2026
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.
Marilyse_R, May 2026
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.
