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 husband and I did the sunset/glow tour. Our guides were Charlie & Johnathan. They were awesome! I think it was Johnathan’s second day but it seemed as if he had been working there a while. They were both very knowledgeable & answered all of our questions. We saw two bonnet head sharks & tons of fish while kayaking. We also got some pretty shells off the island. This was the best kayaking experience!!

Amazing trip at night! Jonathan and Matt took us down into a mangrove canopy then out to the sand bar to explore! We saw huge schools of mullet jumping out of the water rubbing away from the kayaks. They can even jump right into the kayaks. They taught us all about the marine life we encountered. Very knowledgeable and FUNNY! When I book again, I will bring a headlamp to strap on for even more visibility!

Very Cool!! Such an amazing feeling to be out on the water with it being dark and just the light of the kayak's and tour guides. Highly recommend! Our tour guides, Johnathan and Matt were wonderful and full of knowledge and laughter, I would highly recommend the night tour with these two superstars!
