One of a Kind Experience! - Nate was awesome and full of knowlege. Made an effort to interact with everyone and made sure we were all able to see wildlife. The lights on the boards make it easy to spot creatures and stay with the group. My only suggestion is bring good bug spray, I may have sweet blood but Florida Mosquitos are no joke! We saw hundreds of bright blue glowing comb jellies, horseshoe crabs, rays, fish, sparkly plankton and even an up close pufferfish encounter!

Nate was a wealth of... - Nate was a wealth of knowledge. He did a great job of explaining things. We took our 13 and 14 year old and we felt safe and comfortable. The jellyfish were everywhere, glowing in the water. We saw jellyfish, sting rays, mullet jumping through the air, other fish and horseshoe crabs. The water didnt glow like pictured when we went but we did get to see some of the glowing when we ran our paddles or nets through the water.

Best Kayaking tour I’ve ever been on - Once in a lifetime experience. There are only 6 places in the world to see Bioluminescence’s like this. I could not have asked for a better tour company or guide. It’s a smaller operation that keeps the guide to customer ratio low so that safety can be maintained even in an emergency. Some of the larger tour companies pack so many people with one guide that any emergency, especially a weather one, would impossible to handle safely. The smaller group also made for an infinitely better experience because it was easy to stay together and hear everything our guide wanted to point out.

Would do again - Nate was very knowledgeable and a great guide. You could tell he loves his job and he really made the experience. The kayaks were also great with awesome LED lights. It’s also designed so that you go in small groups so it felt very personalized and we ended up having a lovely bonding experience. 10/10 would recommend

Best night tour ever!! - We loved the tour!! Nate was so informative and took great care of us. We are very active Senior citizens and this adventure was on our bucket list. We even had luminescent jelly fish that we scooped up with a net and a school of flying mullet fish that jumped out of the water when we paddled near the mangroves. The paddle boards are easy to maneuver either seated or standing up. Don't miss this one of a kind tour!!
