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.

Beautiful place, great tour I felt safe and taken care of, and also privileged to see a part of Florida I hadn't seen before (grateful it still exists!!). The guides, Raven and Grace, were wonderful. They were professional, and genuinely interested in preserving the ecosystem and teaching others about how amazing it is. Seeing the sunset, and then paddling along quietly with the glow lights on was just such a peaceful experience. The mangroves were a special treat-- like a tunnel; you feel like the city is so far away. Thank you!!

The sunset was spectacular. Our guide Jenna was amazing, highly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the region. She identified both native and invasive species and had good info about both and the impact they have on the region. Speaking of fauna, its razy some dude lived on God's island and had plumbing as recently as 2000. Be warned you may catch a fish. They were jumping all over the place on our tour and one boat caught a big one after it landed inside with them. The path through the mangroves during the day was very nice but was better at night, especially with the lights on the kayaks blazing. Highly recommended, but for the love of whatever you find holy, don't be a worthless person and be prepared to actually put work in and paddle your kayak.

I did the Sunset Glow clear kayak tour while me and my husband were vacationing in Indian Shores. Our tour guide Charlie was awesome. He was very friendly and informative about the area we were paddling, Shell Key Preserve. We even had a fish jump in our kayak and it hit me in the arm! Very fun and memorable experience and would recommend hands down. Definitely wear long sleeve and pants as they suggest because it gets a little chilly and mosquitos are out!
