Illuminated Kayak Experience - Easy access from Marriott Frenchman’s Cove dock and a great experience to see marine life at night for the whole family. Illuminated kayak’s are way to maneuver.

More than I could’ve hoped for! - Paul was INCREDIBLE!! I cannot speak highly enough of this man. We lucked up and the other arty didn’t show so it was just my fiancé and I and what a night! This was the best thing I did my entire trip and it’s safe to say I can check my “seeing sea turtles” off the bucket list. Paul went above and beyond to ensure we saw about 4/5 different turtles and some big fish. He was knowledge and not to mention hilarious. Don’t get his tour confused with the other guys wearing the goofy light up hats! Paul and kayak after dark are the real thing! You do not want to miss out on this opportunity while staying in Saint Thomas

Paul is incredible! - Paul is phenomenal!! His knowledge of the water, animals, reef, etc. is incredible. You can tell from the beginning that he has such a passion for this. Thank you for being a highlight of our trip to St. Thomas!

Awesome night kayak - We thought we were booking at Frenchmans Reef next door, but we're so glad we made a "mistake" and booked this experience. Paul was an awesome guide! It was so nice being in a small group of 6 people, vs. the other tour having close to 20. Paul was so much fun, and you could tell he absolutely loved his job, and the sea life he was sharing with us. He took his time to tell us about the different types of reef, coral, and species. He knew the best spots where the sea life would be - and even had names for the Sea turtles and fish. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun experience to get on the water and see some nocturnal animals!

Highly Recommend! - I highly recommend doing this, well worth the money! We were staying at the Westin & thought we had booked with their night kayak, but had actually booked with this one and it was the best mishap ever! We saw 4 sea turtles! Our guide Paul really knows his stuff, and took the time to really make it a memorable event and made sure we saw ocean life. Thank you Paul for making our last night at St Thomas a great time!!

Eh needs improvements - We wanted to love this activity as we kayak a lot at home but this bay is very bumpy, crowded with boats, the clear bottoms appear foggy (not cleanable, definitely tried inside and outside multiple times), and the tour consists of going in a small figure 8 for an hour literally in the same 200 feet of shoreline. We saw 2 fish total - one Turpin and one Ray. Honestly, this could be so cool in another bay on the northside but for what this was, it was just poorly executed. On top of that, there were so many kayaks in our group we couldn’t even hear the tour guide. Hopefully they’ll take feedback and improve. As is, we saw way more just snorkeling around than in the kayak.

Unorganized - Just very unorganized, the guide didn’t know each other and were winging the whole trip. If you are a solo rider the kayaks are extremely hard to use if you are under 180
