About
All Ages welcome 3yrs + No waves - water is calm, shallow and protected canals.
- These are dry kayaks so you can dress warm in the winter & wear shoes but we recommend bringing a towel to lay in your lap from the drip off the paddle.
We offer the Ultimate Adventure on our Glass Bottom LED illuminated Kayak Night Tours! In fact no one else offers this experience anywhere in the world with how we feed the fish and the extremely powerful self developed underwater light system that we use! At our St. Pete Beach location we'll first visit a bird sanctuary mangrove island and look at the different species of seabirds! We'll then paddle down protected waterways & see amazing underwater views along with feeding fish which is fun for everyone! There's times when the fish get so close you can even touch them! You may also see Crabs, Shrimp and other sea-life as we illuminate the waters around us. With literally nothing to do at night in the Water Sports Industry, our Glass Bottom Kayak LED illuminated Night Tours are perfect for families, friends, large groups, or an unforgettable date night under the stars and moon!
