very cool experience - This is an amazing very cool experience. I had a needle fish jump into my boat because it was so excited about the lights on our kayaks (the tour guide took the fish out and put it back into the water).

An Experience Like No Other - My group consisted of 2 couples. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He’s a great dude. We met the guides at the launch point and they had everything we needed. Life jackets, kayaks, paddles, and even water. Our group had varying experience with kayaks with some having very little to no prior experience. The guides taught and lead the group and we were able to cover more water than anticipated! The kayaks themselves are excellent. Good quality, the ones we took were doubles but they also had singles. The glass bottom is super cool and the LED lights have multiple color settings as well as party mode! The guides helped us into our kayaks and we paddled around the bay. We went at 8pm and were able to see the Florida sunset from the kayaks. Once night fell it became surreal. The water is roughly 5-7 ft deep through out the bay. The water was super clear we could easily see the bottom and there were plenty of sea creatures. We saw crabs, shrimp, glass fish, lady fish, saltwater catfish, needlefish, and even a snook! The fish are attracted to the lights so they come right up to the kayak! The tour is around a mangrove island and there are tons of birds and other wildlife amongst the mangroves. The trip wasn’t tiring at all. The tour goes at a nice and easy pace and I didn’t get wet except for my legs. I couldn’t recommend this more!

A Serene Evening Kayak Tour - Highly recommend! This was an amazing experience perfect for families/friends/couples. Nick and his crew were very friendly & knowledgeable about the area. Beautiful view of the sunset, stars and fish in the area. This was the PERFECT way to end our evening. Make sure to bring a spare pair of pants!

Such an Amazing Thing to Do! - It was absolutely wonderful! The tour guides were so friendly and so helpful. This was my first time kayaking and it was definitely a memorable one, honestly the glass bottom boats were such a cool feature and really added so much to it. One of my many favorite parts was that when you look up at the sky you can see all the stars out on the water. Such friendly guides, such just an awesome time 11/10 highly recommend :)
