This was really different and had a blast!! My guide was friendly and truly helpful. For sure would do it again.

Cute idea. Tour leaders were nice, but basically spent money to paddle in a circle in a clear fiberglass boat, not able to hear much of what the tour leaders were saying, and when one would see something and point it out, all of the kayaks would rush to that point, so no one really saw much of anything. Would be better with fewer boaters or maybe even if the boaters were guided around the cove in a line, so it wasn’t like aqua bumper cars. The water was beautiful and clear, the night was pleasant, and the activity was a nice, relaxing way to end the day, but if you are looking for a true kayaking/sealife viewing experience, this isn’t it.

Very nice out on water. Knowledgeable, personable guides. Didn't see much sea life the night we were out.

Derek and Denny were PHENOMENAL. They were extremely funny, very kind and gave us a great experience!! It was worth the money! Dereks dad jokes made it even better. I highly recommend. Seeing the island at night is such a wonderful experience! We seen a few sting rays and a ton of tarpon!! We will be back!

Great photo time in the Dark. Our first time Kayaking and we chose to do it a night. Make sure you hydrate and don't drink any alcohol before. This is a workout on the water. We went out far to see stingrays. Good experience and the crew was fun.

Kimberly_B, Aug 2026
We enjoyed our night kayaking experience. It was relaxing and our tour guides were kind, informative, and entertaining. We saw some wildlife, a turtle and fish. I think you'd enjoy the experience!

Make sure you arrive at least 20 minutes early so you can apply your face paint. Exploring the ocean at night was magical experience. We had a small pack of tarpon that came along for the ride. There were sea turtles, stingrays, and we even got to see a spotted eagle ray! Derek was a fabulous guide! He had plenty of dad jokes, and endless amount of patience and he was knowledgeable about the sea life we encountered the entire time. 10/10 recommend.

Well let’s by they don’t answer any calls or text they also say if you can’t swing you can’t do the event but give out life jackets another was the instructor told me he give me back my refund but never did also he was super drunk you can smell the liquor coming from his body another thing was he was helpful at all and very much being racially discriminated towards me they stole my money and now they won’t answer .

Almost didn’t make this one after a lazy day on the beach but glad I did it! Show up a few minutes early to check in, get some neon paint on, and get pics with the black light before jumping in the kayaks. You also get a tutorial before hopping in. Jack and J-Mike were awesome guides. Jack made sure we got our Insta-worthy boat shots on the water with the lights from Frenchman’s reef in the background. He airdropped them to us at the end. J-Mike came prepared with the extra batteries for our lights if they went out. Both super knowledgeable, helpful, and fun! This is located at the dock right next to the Westin at Frenchman’s reef and you can just walk down the back Westin stairs to get there or take the shuttle. Same goes for if you’re staying at Buoy Haus which is basically a connected property right next door. Glad I already had my bathing suit on under my clothes since everyone in the group before us said their bottoms got wet. Would definitely do this one again!

My husband and e teen daughters were a part of the 9:00 p.m. kayaking tour leaving from the Westin. My youngest was very nervous and they absolutely made sure that she had the best time she has not stopped talking about it. My other two daughters both agreed that they would absolutely do this tour again they saw a ton of different type of fish and really cool things in the water and just loved the experience of going out in the water at night. They loved glow paint , the Tiaras , the necklaces and lights and everything that made it feel really cool and fun. They did also love that the boat was glass bottom and they could see the fish swim right underneath them. Thanks to our guides (jess and i cant recall the young mans name) on 7/27, they were awesome!!

Doug and Reina were great! We saw stingrays and sea turtles! The family had a blast!! We would definitely recommend this adventure.
Nicole_T, Jul 2026
So fun! Derek and Pete were amazing and quite funny! They were very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about marine life as well as making sure everyone in the group got to see the marine life when able!
Lisbel_G, Jul 2026
It was amazing. We saw big turtles, stingrays and big fish. The lights created a sort of sun in the water to see the fish. Curtis was super cool and funny.
Brandon_H, Jul 2026
It was fun! Great activity with family!
We enjoyed the instructors . They were very pleasant and informative!
Highly recommend!
Sarah_C, Jul 2026
Shawnna and Curtis were awesome!! Such a great team! They made our tour so enjoyable and taught us neat things about the marine life with several tasteful dad jokes in between. We had a really great time and would definitely recommend anyone to book the night kayak tour!
Austin_D, Jul 2026
Great experience! They probably have the best kayaks compared to others as the whole kayak is see through. We went at the 8:30pm time slot and was able to see a variety of fish and sting rays. The guides Curtis and Jack were excellent, family friendly, knowledgeable about the wildlife both entertaining and relaxing. Definitely recommend this trip for anyone interested in the glow boats. Heads up if you get motion sickness it is a little rough as the waves rock the kayak slightly, not intense but enough to get to you. I recommend taking ginger or use the patch that goes behind your ear to minimize the effects of motion sickness and you’ll be good to go!

Super fun guys full of fun facts
Made it a really interesting outing. Highly recommend! Doug was cool.
Leanne_L, Jul 2026
I had an amazing time on this night kayak tour! Paddling under the stars was such a unique and peaceful experience. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable. They shared interesting facts about the area and pointed out wildlife. Whether you're a beginner or have kayaked before, I highly recommend this experience. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip, and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Joey_V, Jul 2026
We had a real good time! Saw some really big sting rays and tarpon. The crew running it, Deric is who we had did a great overall job. You can’t control what each day will bring but they put us on some cool night experience. Only downside was shuttle service. We ended up walking up the steep hill back to the garage where we parked cause shuttle was not coming after waiting 15-20min.
DeAndre_F, Jul 2026
Super fun friendly staff. Doug told the corniest yet funny dad jokes. Highly recommended. Don’t miss out
