Our tour guides Curtis and Derrick were absolutely fantastic and engaging. They led the way, taught how to get out of a mess calmly, and were patient with children. They told fun dad jokes on the way back in and a lot about the bags history. They made the experience way better than I could have imagined.

Great experience. Saw a lot of tarpon fish. Large ones and Turtles 🐢 Highly recommend. This is a must for those that are staying at the Westin. So convenient
Shelby_C, Jun 2026
Great vibes and good information the whole time. The guides are great and help the whole time! We saw Tarpon’s, stingrays, and a turtle.

Curtis and Lorenzo were great guides! My teenage boys also loved the “dad jokes” they told. This trip was a nice, easy experience, and rowing at a steady pace. There are moments where you stop and they point out certain wildlife and tell you about them. I also love knowing the history of the island! The guides make this adventure engaging and even take pictures for you and share them! I highly recommend this activity to do either alone or with your family!

This was a really great activity! You can definitely be a beginner and you’ll have a great time. I would recommend this tour!
Destiny_B, Jun 2026
The night kayak was not a pleasant experience due to the fact that they overbooked so when we went to the drop off location, we were denied access to the excursion. They tried to reschedule the excursion for later that week almost 4 days after the agreed booking
Virginia_D, Jun 2026
We had a great experience from start to finish. The guys that lead the team were fun and knowledgeable and it was a great night overall. Would recommend this experience 100%.
Steven_H, Jun 2026
Fun & educational. Derek’s dad jokes are worth the price of admission. Jess was great with her scientific and historic insights
Kathi_P, Jun 2026
It was worth the money and the guides were amazing and very knowledgeable. We saw tarpon, sting rays, and sea turtles
Ambria_G, Jun 2026
Great experience overall! What you see is a hit or a miss which is not their fault obviously but if you get lucky you can see some really cool things. We saw a huge sting ray.. the tour guides were very informative as well. Just a tip that if you have a rental, you’ll need to pay for a day pass at the Westin for parking which is $10 for the day. Good to show up early to get that out of the way.

This was a really fun experience that can be had by all- regardless of athleticism. Jack and Nate were excellent tour guides and made sure we saw rays, tarpon, and gained a lot of knowledge about turtles and the environment.
Andrea_D, Jun 2026
We had a lot of fun during our Glow Night Kayak tour. They provided the glow necklaces and glow paint. Curtis and Denny were great guides! They shared some history of the island and told lots of jokes. Kept the kids laughing in our tour group. We saw lots of Tarpon, some sea turtles and stingrays. They even provided the pictures and videos! Would definitely do this tour again and recommend to all.

Nate and Trinity were wonderful! We had lots of fun. We saw stingrays, urchin, turtles and Tarpons. Fun
Joni_I, Jun 2026
Our guides Nate and Jack were great. We saw turtles, stingrays and tarpon.
However, the experience overall was underwhelming. The marine life was hard to see through the kayaks and since it was dark you only got to see them for a moment while they were moving right under you. I think this is better suited for those that don’t snorkel but want to see some marine life. If you have spent lots of time in the water snorkeling than I feel like this will be somewhat of a let down.

We had an amazing time glow kayaking! The guides were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. The glowing kayaks were beautiful and made for a unique experience on the water. It was a fun activity to do together and definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Other travelers should know that the staff does a great job explaining everything, so even beginners can enjoy it. Bring your camera, relax, and enjoy the experience—it’s well worth it
Erik_M, Jun 2026
Staff was funny and enjoyable. Didn’t really see much in the way of marine life but the kayak ride was good.
John_B, Jun 2026
Getting there was difficult. Parking and directions. The experience itself was great. John Michael and his partner (who i forgot the name) were wonderful guides. Relatively easy trip. Very fun.
100% worth it.

Our Night Kayak Tour at Frenchman's Reef was such fun. The illuminated kayaks gave us an incredible view of the marine life beneath us, and we were amazed by how many fish we could see throughout the tour. We were lucky enough to spot several stingrays gliding through the water.
The guides Jess & Connor were great, friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. They shared interesting facts about the island and marine life while making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time.
Barbara_K, Jun 2026
Great time. Saw a lot of tarpon, stingrays and a large turtle. Both guides were amazing during the tour. Provided so much info and loved the "dad jokes" Must do if in town.
Ellie_W, Jun 2026
We all agreed this was the best part of our trip! It was just the three of us, but our guide was was amazing! He told us a little history about the islands, told some silly dad jokes, and was just a joy to be around. We saw rays and lots of fish. No turtles, but we didn't mind, we were having fun. Would absolutely do it again
Ashley_H, Jun 2026
A great island experience! Our guide, Jack, was so friendly and helpful. He made the outing fun and relaxing. He was knowledgeable about the animals we might encounter as well as local history. Highly enjoyable!
Michael_S, May 2026
Great experience with my partner at the moment of my birthday weekend I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun
Amanda_L, May 2026
Shawna and Alonzo were great! We saw rays and turtles. The weather predicted wind so was a little nervous about the excursion, but all was fine and would do it again!
Nicole_J, May 2026
My 9yr old daughter and I absolutely loved it! Alonso and Doug were our guides and they were AMAZING! They brought so much energy and also spotted us so many amazing creatures! Sting rays, sea turtles, red snapper big one, tarpon, etc. I will say the only downside is to getting to the actual spot it’s over 100 steps down, another 100 up back to parking garage! Suppose to have shuttles but they are on island x5. Other than that must do adventure! ❤️ Jenson Family
