    Review summary

    Families and first-timers consistently rave about the nighttime glass-bottom kayaking experience here, with guides like Cameron, Aaron, Logan, and Grant earning special praise for their friendly, patient approach. The setup is beginner-friendly and relaxing, with multiple launch locations across the area (they're flexible about switching sites if weather doesn't cooperate). The highlight for most is feeding catfish and watching them swarm beneath the lit glass bottoms, which kids especially love. Some lucky groups spot manatees, stingrays, or barracuda, though wildlife sightings vary by night. The tours run longer than scheduled when the action is good, and guides genuinely don't rush anyone through the experience. A few guests wished for more educational commentary about local ecology and history, and one experienced kayaker felt the tour catered mainly to beginners. The company provides bug spray and other thoughtful touches, plus they're responsive via text if plans need changing. It's clearly designed as a mellow, family-friendly outing rather than an intense nature expedition, and most people leave delighted with the unique experience.

    The guides were very nice and the kayaking was peaceful in the evening. We only saw catfish on our trip, but it was still pretty cool to see so many at once and under the boat. We launched from the St. Pete's location as the Clearwater one had too much wind and was cancelled. I do like that the company offered a refund, raincheck, or other location. They were flexible and very responsive in text!
