We offer the Ultimate Adventure with our Glass Bottom Kayak LED illuminated Night & Sunset Tours! Our LED Sunset Tours start at 8pm and our LED Night Tours start at 9:30pm every night. We'll start by paddling through mangrove canals and then explore along mangrove shorelines and shallow grass flats. We'll look for various sea-life and seabirds as we paddle through a shallow harbor. We'll explore the underwater views with our custom high powered underwater LED lights as you look for fish, stingrays, crabs, shrimp and other sea-life as we illuminate the waters around us. The views of the John Ringling Causeway Bridge and The City of Sarasota Skyline is awesome! With literally nothing to do at night in Water Sports, our Glass Bottom Kayak LED illuminated Night & Sunset Tours are perfect for families, friends, large groups, or an unforgettable date night under the stars or at Sunset! Our kayaks have no drain holes so you can wear full clothing with shoes and even stay warm in the winter!

Even if you don’t see the spectacular things you very well might see, you’ll see great stuff and learn a lot. We only had an evening of free time while we were here and were thrilled to discover this—felt like we had actually done something other than the “business” we came for.

My daughters and I enjoyed our Glass Bottom tour. Turned out to be the perfect night weather wise. Unfortunately the Sea life were not being very cooperative. That is the way it goes with those critters. We did have a good time all in all. I would recommend doing this tour.

The 8pm launch allowed us to see an amazing sunset! once it was dark the skyline was lit up- it was beautiful Nolan our guide was an expert- gave us information about the area the sea life and made us feel safe after dark. The LED lights on each kayak let us see under the water. This is a must-do activity!

Nobody showed up. Contact numbers didn’t work. No e-mail or any correspondence. There was another car driving around too which might have coincidental but it looked like they was having the same issue!
