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.

My wife and I took our kids on a sunset/glow tour of shell key. Raven was our guide-- who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The clear, see through kayaks added a whole different dimension to exploring the key. We could see a lot more of the world beneath us. Once it got dark enough the LED lights illuminated the bottom so we could see even more. It was a very cool experience. I highly recommend it. Billy's restaurant is also very good.

We had a wonderful trip! Raven was a fantastic guide, we really enjoyed our tour. She made it both interesting and fun. She knew her stuff, and could tell us a lot of the history and information about the area, as well as the sea life.

Jenna was amazing and full of cool information! She gave us local information on the history of the area. She was also very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and surrounding vegetation. The tour was very interactive, educational and fun! We got to stop along the way and play with sea slugs, pass through a beautiful mangrove cove and ended up on a tiny island just in time to see the sunset. While at the island we found seashells and hung them on the mangroves for Good Luck! The cool thing was there was a thousand other shells that were already there. Overall we had a great experience and I would highly recommend both the tour and using Jenna as your guide!
