This was a great activity. 2 adults, 2 kids age 9. Our tour guide Doug was fantastic! We brought extra glow necklaces and used the glow in the dark paint provided. Super easy activity to incorporate into your trip, especially if you are staying at the Westin!

You may get wet so wear a swim suit. They will store your belongings for you. The guide will share pictures with you at the end of the trip.
We had a great time. We saw a lot of tailspin, yellow jacks, balliehue. The water was beautiful and calm. The guide was knowledgeable. We love this excursion.

The instructor Hailey was great and patient since there were kids on this excursion. She and the group we went out to the bay had a lot of fun

Spencer was funny and knew about the area. The glow in the dark paint was a nice tough! Very entertaining for all ages.

This kayak trip was awesome! We saw so many fish, one tried to jump into one of the kayaks. It was just enough time to cruise through the bay and see fish. They swam under our kayak and bumped their heads on the bottom of it. Our face paint was an added hit and made it fun!

What a fun experience for all ages. Haley was a wonderful guide, her easy going nature made it so enjoyable for a group of 6. We stayed within the harbor so we felt safe at all times but it still seemed like an adventure. And oh my gosh, the tarpon! So many!

We were very disappointed because our instructor never showed up for our night kayaking experience. At the same time, I contacted them by text and received a response shortly apologizing for the inconvenience. They are going to refund us and I requested our taxi fare as well since it was $15 each way. We have used them before with no problems, Im thinking this was a fluke.

Different way to view the sea life. Very interesting experience. Kayak was easy to paddle and it was a good boat, clear and all lights worked properly.
Jill_F, Mar 2026
Very slow experience as you are led by an individual on a paddle board.
Only saw tarponand one other fish - horse eyed jack.

Loved this as our first Island excursion on our first day. View was absolutely stunning gorgeous. Seeing the fish through the kayak was great fun.

Bernard was so fun and exciting. Stirred it up for us to see so many fish and was very knowledgeable
Lisa_S, Dec 2025
You will definitely see Tarpon. It's fun and exciting. This was our 2nd time and it was calmer water, full moon, and less marine activity. Last year the ballyho were flying all over. Guides are great. Bernard this time.

Bring Glow necklaces or Glow sticks if possible, as well as a head light. There seems to be s 3 Kayak limit on the water per session.

Sam was a rockstar! Let us leisurely enjoy our trip! No itinerary needed, just went where the animals were! Saw bats, tarpon and ballyhoo! A rogue ballyhoo even jumped in our kayak! Thanks for the great time Sam!!
Steven_M, Nov 2025
The crew was the best!! This was an awesome experience! Lots of tarpon and baitfish followed us around and jumped and splashed… Very fun at night time!

We had a great time! Our guide took us right through a school of jumping fish. We even had some jump in our kayak. We threw them back. How cool!!!

The tour was amazing. The tour guide, Bernard, was fun, very friendly, helpful with getting the fish out of our kayak, and informative regarding the fish seen on the tour. This excursion is a must if you are staying at the Westin in St. John’s or are in the area visiting.

We had a great time. Bernard was a great guide. We saw lots of fish and had a great time. It was fun to be on the water at night.
GIBSON_S, Oct 2025
This was so much fun! You can get painted in glow in the dark paint and take photos in black light. The fish are drawn to the lighted clear kayaks. We had so much fun watching the fish jump and skip across the water. Bernard was a fantastic tour guide!
SamanthaDee_B, Sep 2025
The tour guide was fantastic and entertaining! The whole excursion was such a fun experience! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

It was Amazing! Our guide (Bernard) was so much fun, he was able to get the fish jumping into the light. What an amazing and beautiful night! Loved it ❤️

Night kayak with Bernard at the Westin was so much fun We put our face paint on and grabbed paddles. Beautiful night with so many stars and the. The fish started jumping. I had one that almost landed in the boat
BartonN_B, Sep 2025
This is unexpected treat. Almost 60 minutes on the water with a very knowledgeable guide. Plenty of time for land based pictures. Pics on the water are a bit more challenging. Fish, including tarpon, are following you the whole way
Gerald_B, Sep 2025
A very positive fun experience. Nice way to get a good look at the local fish. Beautiful nighttime cruise.
