Good time, tour guide guy is cool. Easy going and knowledgeable.
My 10 year old son wants to do it again when we come back next year.
If you have a little one who enjoys checking out creatures on the beach or anywhere really, they will love this and you will too.

Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear the guide did his best to manage the conditions.
We would like to clarify that we do monitor weather and wind direction closely to make safety calls; however, on this day, the conditions changed much faster than the forecast predicted. Regarding the safety of the group, our records show that no injuries occurred during the trip, and we are very relieved that everyone returned safely.
Because the conditions weren't what we aim for, we issued a 100% refund on the spot. We always strive to provide a great experience, but when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, we make sure our customers are taken care of. We hope to have the chance to get you out on a calmer day in the future!

Be ready to be curious and explore! We loved learning about the local critters in a safe and respectful manner🐚❤️

We had an awesome time kayaking. The group leaders were fun and knowledgeable. The water was calm and shallow. We saw so much wildlife on our tour. Highly recommend!
Kristen_S, Apr 2026
This was so memorable! One of the highlights of our vacation! Thank you! The guides are knowledgeable and make it a great experience.

No one showed up at our time and there was no notification that the trip was canceled. Very disappointing.

It helps if you have been kayaking before. Not to worry, though, because, if you are struggling, one kid the guides gives instructions and tows you until you get it right. Oh, you will get wet. My pants and windbreaker were soaked, but the sunset view and the experience of being out in the evening and looking for marine life was unique.

My family had a blast. As a group of 8 we didn’t know what to expect but we were all surprised in the best way. The kayaks were well lit and we were able to drift about as wanted. Dan Rowan were easy going and helpful.

Our tour guide Matt was great, and it’s not probably his fault but it had rained all day and when we got out there, the water was so turned up. We couldn’t see anything hardly at all through the bottom of the kayak. And it was very windy. We had to come in a half hour early, so we probably shouldn’t have gone out at all, and I would love to have another experience with them because I’m sure it could’ve been a whole lot better

Had an amazing time on our night kayaking tour! Dan was funny, interesting and informative. Would definitely recommend this experience.
Jackie_H, Mar 2026
Dan was a great guide with lots of enthusiasm for the tour! We learned a lot and had a great night on the water!
Greg_B, Feb 2026
Matt and Dan did an excellent job. Lots of sea life including a sting ray, very cool experience definitely recommend
Anna_W, Feb 2026
Cool experience. Our guide Matt was friendly and very knowledgeable about the marine life. It was cold when we went out and I feel like if we chose a warmer night for the tour we would’ve seen more activity. Definitely dress for the weather/getting wet! My partner and I aren’t the most experienced with kayaking so we got soaked. They provide small nets for catching critters and you get to check them out after the tour which was my favorite part. We would definitely try this again on a warmer night!

Looking for a unique experience?
Well, look no more! This was super fun and we were lucky enough to have a very small group due to the weather (cold and windy) but it made the experience that much more enjoyable. Our guide, Matt was fun and very upbeat. Constantly scooping up sea creatures to share with us along the way. Very cool kayaking through the mangrove tunnels and making our way into a very secluded area all to our own. Pretty magical! So much fun for all ages! Don’t miss out on this adventure!
Some tips…
Bring a towel. You will get wet.
Bring a change of clothes. You will get wet.
Wear water shoes. I would also recommend bringing a headlamp. The kayak lights will only allow you to see a foot or two around your kayak. Our guide was wearing one and could see so much more with it on.
And maybe bring a Ziploc bag for your key fob. Just in case!
Enjoy!

Dan was an incredible I mean INCREDIBLE tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with telling us where to park. He made the excursion super fun and it was a blast for my family!
Amy_B, Jan 2026
It was a fun, relaxing, and unique adventure. Dress to get wet! Our guide Anna was nice, informative and engaging. She interacted well with all the guests and help us find some interesting sea life!
Lisa_D, Jan 2026
Great addition to our family trip! Matt and his team were informative and enthusiastic , fun and great for all ages and kayaking abilities! Didn’t get too wet was a bonus:)
Kristal_M, Jan 2026
They never showed. Apparently they were involved with a car wreck. Never contacted us. Still waiting on response for my money back.
Alex_S, Dec 2025
Amazing experience! The clear-bottom glowing kayak tour was beautiful and very well organized. The team was friendly, professional, and made everything feel safe and easy. The glowing water and nighttime atmosphere were truly magical. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Florida — we would definitely do it again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marjorie_B, Dec 2025
Dan was fantastic! We all had a great time seeing the marine life. Everything was easy to find, we had no issues at all.
Debbie_W, Oct 2025
They make it so easy. Such a cool experience. Great guide. No hassle just fun. Great for all ages. Family fun.
GraceBrett_C, Oct 2025
We decided to give our son an experience as part of his 11th birthday gift. He absolutely loved the kayak experience during sunset. It was definitely a memorable experience and I highly recommend it. Fun for kids and adults.
Our tour guides were knowledgeable and super nice.
Tip: bring towels for the car because your bottom might end up wet. If you are doing the sunset experience, wear bug spray.
Tracy_D, Oct 2025
Awesome experience, the boats were great, bright enough to see in the dark, tour guides Dan & Matt were very good /fun. We REALLY loved collecting “treasures” with a net and learning about them in the airrated collection tank at the end. I’d give the agency a 10 if they had taken fewer folks on the tour. The number of people and boats in the lagoon made the experience a bit crowded.
Meredith_F, Oct 2025
Dan was a great guide! We had a wonderful experience on our lighted kayak tour. It was a great way to spend a night in AMI.

Sharon_M, Sep 2025
Definitely an adventure for all ages. Even my 78-year-old mom partook in the kayaking experience. She is not a fan of water but wanted to do something new and came with us 🙂 Jesse, our guide, made sure that she felt at ease getting in and out of the kayak and during the trip. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife that we saw and caught. We had a great time!
debi_p, Sep 2025
Larry was awesome and very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend this activity for the entire family
Aaron_W, Sep 2025
It was fun and adventurous me and my wife had to work together as a team and got to catch cool sea life and return it back. Dan was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable.
Maya_K, Aug 2025
Dan did a great job explaining sea life and showing us around the area with a big group of us. It was A great time and would recommend!
Paola_F, Aug 2025
It’s a beautiful tour around the bay and great for kids to explore. My kids had a great time finding the little sea creatures and taking pictures with them.
