Shell Key Clear Kayak Glow in the Dark Tour

Overview

Kayak at night on a glow tour and illuminate the water below! Enjoy a unique nighttime tour while your color-changing, waterproof LED lights illuminate the waters below your clear kayak.

Explore the waters of Shell Key Preserve while looking for wildlife, taking in the stars, and lighting up the water beneath you. Depending on the departure time, you may witness an incredible sunset. As dusk falls, you’ll turn on your lights to illuminate the water below. Your tour guide will lead the way on a true adventure through the waters and around the mangrove islands of Shell Key Preserve. Along the way, be on the lookout for crustaceans, fish, sharks, birds, and more with the LED lights igniting the water as you paddle.

This tour is for people who are adventurous! Due to the night time nature of the tour, there may be some surprise visits from wildlife. Plan on wearing long sleeves and/or long pants, with bug spray underneath your clothing to deter mosquitos.

This trip is kayaking through an estuary (which has very shallow water) so there’s not much wildlife to be seen especially at night. We expected to see dolphins maybe Manatee‘s instead we saw a starfish, a hermit crab, a conch, and 3 birds. The guide was nice and made it fun. We went to a little beach and paddled back after sunset. The restaurant that’s semi-attached is overpriced and the food & drinks were a mix of OK and pretty good. This would be a trip for someone that’s never kayaked before and just wants to get out on the water and try it out. I had higher expectations but for $86 I should have known better.

We’re glad to hear you enjoyed our guide but we’re disappointed to hear you had a 2-star experience paddling with us. Due to the wildlife being truly wild and free in the preserve, they come and go as they wish and are never in the same place! We also encourage guests to reach out to us if they have questions about the time of day or season to expect sightings of dolphins or manatees! We would have gladly shared with you that we would not encounter this type of wildlife at night, as they sleep at night like we do! We do our best to set clear expectations by describing our experience at length on our listings so that you know what to expect. If you have any other feedback for us, please feel free to email us at [email protected]
