About this experience

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Florida Keys with an unforgettable after-dark kayak adventure. As you glide out to sea, past mangrove forests and Kalteux Key, you will enjoy the vibrant hues of the setting sun reflected against the ocean's surface.

As dusk turns to night, your tour guide will attach LED lights to the bottom of your kayak, creating a mesmerizing glow that illuminates the water beneath you. You will glide past a variety of marine life as you "glow" through the calm waters. Your tour guide is a knowledgeable expert on the local ecosystem and the unique behaviors of the nocturnal sea creatures.

As you make your way back to the marina, you will pass through the canal of one of Islamorada's charming neighborhoods where underwater lights create the enchanting illusion of an underwater parade, adding an extra layer of wonder to your experience.

Join us for a truly unforgettable adventure where the beauty of the Florida Keys meets the allure of the night.
