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.

I can't say enough about how AMAZING this whole experience was! Our guides, Jenna and Matt, were incredibly knowledgable and made the trip so fun. The clear kayaks with the neon lights were such a cool way to kayak around beaches, mangroves, and so much more. We saw a ton of wildlife like horseshoe crabs and even a small shark! I truly can't recommend this company enough. I can't wait to come back again!

10/10 recommend this trip! What a fun time to spend with friends and family while being outdoors in FL! I absolutely love that there's a mixture of daytime and nighttime touring and the view of the sunset from the beach was incredible. After spending some time dipping our feet in the water and taking in the beautiful views, we started the night glow portion of the tour through the mangroves which was incredible, seeing all of the kayaks glowing the water different colors. Matt and Jenna, our tour guides, were very engaged while being really fun and knowledgeable about all things St Pete and wildlife. We spent the day in St Pete and ended our day with the Sunset & Glow tour and I would definitely recommend!

We had an AMAZING time watching the sunset from the most beautiful untouched stretch of beach, hanging shells on the wishing tree, floating along through the mangrove tunnel, and getting all the fun facts from Jenna & Matt, who were awesome and so helpful the whole way!! Can't wait to go again soon!
