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.

Went on this tour after a fun day exploring St. Pete! What a perfect way to end the day! We had Jenna and Matt as our guides and they were so great and helpful filled with fun facts. We got to hang out at a beach during sunset, go through a mangrove tunnel, saw some small sharks AND a falling star (yay for making wishes). It was a great time with my friends and I, definitely recommend. My personal tips: get there a little early to leave time for unexpected traffic (we went over a drawbridge on the way there). Wear light clothes you are okay getting wet in with swimwear underneath, leave towels in the car and try to bring little else. Finally, its a little bit of a workout if you are not use to paddling, any novice could do it, but good to keep in mind!

Went on the glow tour yesterday and it was AMAZING!!!!! Matt and Jenna were such great guides, had the highest of safety and were so knowledgeable and fun! For the 730 tour we went to the beach for the sunset and then we went over an amazing sandbar (where we saw horseshoe crabs) and finally went into an amazing mangrove tunnel! Honestly, I will be doing this again and bringing all my friends and family! Stoke level 10!

Best. Sunday. Ever!!!! I have been dying to do one of the clear kayak tours for the longest time! I was fortunate enough to get to go out on the new Glow Tour!!! It was AMAZING!!! It was everything I had hoped it would be!! The sunset on Shell Key was gorgeous!! I finally got to hang a shell on the famous Shell Tree! We had a great time exploring the mangrove tunnels and seeing all the creatures that come out at night!! We even got to see a small shark!! Our guides, Jenna & Matt, were super friendly and soo knowledgeable!! If you’re looking for something fun & different to do with your summer nights, I 10/10 recommend you try this!!
