What you'll do:

Paddle Key West's backwaters after dark on a guided night kayak tour, watching an LED-lit kayak glow across the water while marine life moves below.

• Launch at Sunset - Push off as the sky fades and the water goes still, right as the glow starts to show.

• Paddle an LED-Lit Clear Kayak - Sit above a lighted, see-through hull that lets you watch the sea floor and fish swim beneath you.

• Wind Through the Mangroves - Explore quiet mangrove channels away from the noise of Duval Street.

• Spot Marine Life After Dark - Look for fish, crabs, and other nighttime creatures drawn to the light under your kayak.

• Learn from a Local Guide - Get real-time commentary on the wildlife, ecosystem, and history of the waters you're paddling.

The pace stays relaxed from start to finish, so you spend more time watching the glow than worrying about your paddle stroke.

Why we love it for your group:

• Beginner-Friendly Setup - No kayaking experience needed, so first-timers and experienced paddlers can go side by side.

• Single and Double Kayaks - Pick a solo kayak or share one, depending on how your group wants to pair up.

• Small, Guided Groups - Everyone stays close to the guide, so no one gets left behind in the dark.

• Photo-Ready Moments - The lit-up water makes for standout photos with no extra gear needed.

• Short, Easy Commitment - At 1.5 hours, it fits into an evening without taking over the whole night.
