Fun experience - My daughters and I enjoyed our Glass Bottom tour. Turned out to be the perfect night weather wise. Unfortunately the Sea life were not being very cooperative. That is the way it goes with those critters. We did have a good time all in all. I would recommend doing this tour.

Amazing sunset view - The 8pm launch allowed us to see an amazing sunset! once it was dark the skyline was lit up- it was beautiful Nolan our guide was an expert- gave us information about the area the sea life and made us feel safe after dark. The LED lights on each kayak let us see under the water. This is a must-do activity!

Kayak exploration - We took th sunset tour, so no led lights. Our guide was very informative about the mangrove trees and the birds. We saw some stuff under the boat, but take the night tour with the lights...I'm sure it will be far better.

Avoid avoid avoid - Nobody showed up. Contact numbers didn’t work. No e-mail or any correspondence. There was another car driving around too which might have coincidental but it looked like they was having the same issue!

unfortunate weather - I did not get the chance to attend my kayaking trip due to strong currents. We were really looking forward to this activity because we have used the starkeys in st Pete. Unfortunately, my trip got cancelled 2x due to strong currents. I may not understand where we would be kayaking but I took a kayak trip this morning through a different company and it was beautiful.
