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.

The sunset glow tour was fantastic! Charlie was an excellent tour guide, with lots of interesting highlights of the area and surrounding habitat. The bioluminescent algae was something really cool he showed us on the tour! Thank you Charlie for making this a memorable experience for us!

Matt and Raven were FANTASTIC! They were so knowledgeable of the area and wildlife. We were even met with a few interesting finds along the way. Our first stop was on an island to watch the sunset (it was the day of the blood moon so seeong that over the water was a plus!) and then we were on our way to the mangroves to see the bioluminescence and it was MAGICAL! Truly worth seeing.

Once again, we had an absolutely amazing experience!! Matt and Raven are both amazing guides - both so knowledgeable and fun. The icing on the cake was seeing bioluminescence in the mangrove tunnel - a first for this Floridian - which was INCREDIBLE. Absolutely love this tour, the guides and the company. We will continue the tradition of family kayak tours with Get up and Go.
