About this activity
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.
What you will do
Kayakers will board their kayaks just prior to sunset, departing the marina towards the ocean just as the sun begins to create gradients of pink and orange in the sky. As you turn north into Tavernier Creek, you will definitely spot some of the Florida Key's stunning wildlife. You may even glide past a grazing manatee. After some paddling, you'll find yourself near the entrance of a thick mangrove forest; your tour guide will help you navigate through a narrow channel in the trees, highlighting various features of the natural ecosystem as you continue. Once dark enough, your tour guide will equip your kayak with a battery-powered LED light that illuminates the water below you. The light is typically green, enabling the greatest visibility for you while minimizing any input on marine life. Embrace the surreal experience as you continue to navigate the calm waters with the magical light glowing all around you. As you return to the marina, you'll also enjoy multi-colored lights in the man-made canal, turning your kayak tour into a dazzling night-parade.
