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!

Great experience in STJ.
Isabell was a great tour guide. Very informative and very friendly.
Fun for a group of 8. We saw a lot of Tarpon, Jacks, tiger grouper and a sting ray

Doug was a great guide - we learned about the marine life of St John and got to see quite a few tarpon down below. None were jumping, but a great time nonetheless!

Isabel was a perfect guide for our night kayaking experience. She was very friendly and knowledgable. She explained what we were seeing in the water. She also tried to learn some facts about the kayakers. She definitely made the experience a great one.

It was absolutely amazing the water was warm, the instructor Bernard was friendly and very knowledgeable of the fish and the ocean and the history of the island. We saw Alligator gar and Atlantic halibut and many other fish species. We got to paint each other with neon paint and our kayak had two led lights to help us see the fish better. I would absolutely do this again if we had the time it was a cheap and quick about 45 mins experience. My wife and I had a blast. The fish were jumping out of the water about five feet into the air, they were dancing under us in the water just amazing

Doug was fantastic! Doug knew alot about the fish and gave us pointers for the night. Would totally do this again if Doug is our guide!

As someone that’s afraid of large bodies of water, i had the best time!! Bernard was amazing and provided a fun experience.

Amazing! We had sooo much fun. Doug, our guide was super cool. This is definitely a family friendly must do! We loved it.

A wonderful evening activity- kayaks built for 2, and they are engineered not to tip. You can wear water shoes or go barefoot, wear water-ready clothes or not. The clear kayaks with light straps are easy to paddle and those lights truly attract the fish. We had minnows hopping in the kayak, tarpin literally hitting the side and a bat or two zipping by. The 830p time slot was fantastic. Doug is a top tier guide as well. Highly recommend! And bring your camera in the boat, you will be fine unless you drop it!

Great experience for a fun night with the family. The kids really enjoyed seeing the fish swimming next to them or under the kayak
Brandy_B, Jun 2026
We had a great time. Being out at night was cool. My girls loved the glow in the dark face paint. Saw lots of tarpon. Great experience!

So many tarpon! Really a cool experience, we would do it again. Hailey was a great guide, very good at balancing a range of us with kayaking experience
Erica_S, May 2026
Im going to be so honest, this was an awful experience. We had 6 people and 3 kayaks and all 3 of our Kayaks lights went out. The guides board didn’t have lights either so it was a very dark experience. My 9 yr old was so nervous. The back guide tried but she could never get our lights fixed so my kayak was not lit the entire time! My son had to hold a flashlight the entire time. Overall not the fun night we were hoping for! Attaching the image, you can see all of our kayaks were dark and the ones in the back water were lit and working.

We had a great time at the glow night kayak trip. Bernard was awesome. I would totally tell my friends to take the trip.

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

Beautiful surroundings! It was a wonderful addition to our trip. Our guide Doug was great- fun and knowledgeable!

Spencer was funny and knew about the area. The glow in the dark paint was a nice tough! Very entertaining for all ages.
Lori_K, Apr 2026
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!
Anne_L, Mar 2026
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!
Kelly_L, Mar 2026
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.
Diane_P, Mar 2026
It was a wonderful experience. Isabel was very informative and knowledgeable. We had a good time! Would go again.
Jumana_M, Mar 2026
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.
William_B, Feb 2026
No experience needed, guide will keep you in smooth waters and take time to get the fish excited! Enjoyed this!
Tim_M, Feb 2026

Great time with our guide Bernard. Our party of 5 adults had an awesome experience. We saw a ton of fish and loved the face paint!!

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.
