About this experience
The glass bottom kayaks is an amazing experience with your tour guides paddling in calm shallow waterways under the stars! Your tour guides will point out sea birds and various sea-life such as different fish species, shrimp, crabs, conch shells which will be well illuminated with your high powered underwater custom LED lights. We paddle along mangrove shorelines and canals so we sometimes even see wild animals such as Racoons along the shoreline. We've also experienced manatees and dolphins on many of the tours. Definitely one of the most exciting things about your kayak tour is that we will feed fish at a certain point of our tour as well which is a blast for everyone! With very little to do at night this is an amazing rare experience under the stars that you'll never forget!

Itinerary and highlights
Your tour guides will take you down mangrove shorelines in shallow calm waters searching for sea-life and sea-birds with our high powered LED illuminated underwater lights. Some of the highlights of the tour is feeding the fish which is fun for everyone and also paddling into the mangrove canal! The fish will follow our kayaks and get so close you can even touch them! You may also see crabs, shrimp & other sea-life as we illuminate the waters around us. Sometimes we'll even see Dolphins and Manatees at different parts of your tour site. With literally nothing to do at night in Water Sports, our Glass Bottom Kayak LED illuminated Night Tours are perfect for families, friends, large groups, or an unforgettable date night under the stars! Your kayaks are very stable and similar to a canoe so water does not come in through vent holes so you can wear full clothing with shoes in the summer and even stay warm in the winter by wearing jeans and jackets!
