    Brandon was a great guide. He was interactive with us. He caught an octopus, lobster and sea slug for us to hold. He made sure we felt safe. Amazing experience! Highly recommend

    Fantastic experience made even better by an incredible guide - Jason Lape. He was so knowledgable with a great sense of humour, and really made the rating a 5 star. Unfortunately aww had no cash to tip him and as Brits cannot access Venmo so felt really bad not giving him a tip, but hopefully the review helps a little. Thanks again Jason. You’ll see from the photos how much of a visual treat the trip is

    The night kayak trip in Key West was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. We kayaked in the pitch dark with glowing kayaks with clear glass bottoms. The thing that made it most exciting was our guide Brandon got out of his kayak and collected various wildlife for us to look at, including a moon jelly another jellyfish, a rather large octopus, a spiny starfish, and some type of needle fish with teeth. When he was done, showing us the specimen, Brandon gently put the creatures back in the water. It was one of the coolest experiences around I would highly recommend it.

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a night kayak tour with a fantastic company in the beautiful Florida Keys. From start to finish, this adventure was an absolute delight. The tour host, an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly individual, made the experience truly memorable. One of the highlights of the tour was the multiple stops along the way, where our guide introduced us to the fascinating marine life inhabiting the Florida Keys. From horseshoe crabs to lobsters, ghost crabs to sharks, and barracudas to tarpon, we were treated to a remarkable display of underwater wonders. The guide's expertise and enthusiasm for the marine ecosystem were evident, as he shared captivating facts and stories about each creature we encountered. The kayaks themselves were outfitted with LED lights and glass bottoms, allowing us to peer into the enchanting world beneath us. This added a whole new dimension to the experience, as we marveled at the different sponges, starfish, and other marine organisms below the surface. The LED lights provided an ethereal glow, further enhancing the magical ambiance of the night kayaking excursion. Overall, this company exceeded my expectations with their exceptional night kayak tour. The knowledgeable and personable guide, combined with the innovative kayak design, created an unforgettable adventure. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a unique and captivating experience, I highly recommend embarking on this night kayak tour in the Florida Keys.

    We had an amazing time with Captain Diane! She is extremely knowledgeable about fish, wildlife and her boat. She took us to Snipes Key and Mud Key which were both beautiful places to hang out and chill! We are repeat customers with Diane and can’t wait to see her again!

    Awesome fun experience! Brandon was fantastic…. He showed us fish, crab, lobster, anemones, even let us touch some. Way fun night. Highly recommend

    Wow! Amazing experience. I was pleasantly surprised on the knowledge and care that went into guiding the group. The guide was very experienced and made the trip efficient and enjoyable! 💯% recommend for anyone coming down to Key West. I would do it again!!!

  • 5/5 TriangularFish 9 months ago on Google
    It was super chill and relaxing. You’re allowed to navigate mildly freely in the sense that you can sit in the back and chill, or you keep up with everyone and have the instructor tell you a ton about the area as well as pick any creatures anybody spots up out of the ocean to show off to everyone. They even let you hold/touch it! Overall, very fun! P.S. If you’re the introverted type who would rather stay back and just enjoy the water and lit glass bottom views of the kayaks, don’t be afraid to bring headphones to relax with some music like I did. The most water you’ll encounter is some drops coming off your paddle. My iphone 12 pro without a case and airpod pros gen 1 were completely fine. They won’t pay for anything you lose or break though, so do it at your own risk!

    Highly recommend this tour! The kayaks light up the water & adds an extra element of amazingness! The experience is both peaceful & educational. You go though the mangroves & see the most wonderful things. Lobster, jellyfish, starfish & more! Jason our guide loves what he does & it shows!

    Super fun! Jason was our tour guide and made it a fun experience. He found plenty of sea life that he brought up and showed everyone. Our kids even enjoyed it so much they haven’t stopped talking about it. Definitely a highlight of our key west trip!

  • 5/5 Michael A. 11 months ago on Google
    Great night out exploring the mangroves of Cow Key. We saw nurse sharks, octopuses red coral lobsters. So much fun and what a great night. Brandon was a great guide and we will do again next year when we come down. He jumped in and pulled stuff up for us to see. Kayaks east to use. Family of four. Two singles and one double. Highly recommend for a great night

    These pictures don’t do this event justice. We are first timers and Brandon was super nice and helped us along the way. We actually did pretty good. It was beautiful exciting and informative. My son doesn’t typically enjoy himself on adventures, but was talking a great deal about this and enjoyed himself. I am so happy we chose Night light kayaking. We saw a shark stingrays, a manatee, jellyfish, lobsters, and much more. Thank you for such a great adventure.

    Awesome experience! We booked the 10pm late night tour last minute and we are so glad we did! There were only three kayaks in our tour and our guide Jason was excellent! He spotted and showed us a jellyfish, an octopus, lobsters, nurse sharks, and more! Paddling through the mangroves in the dark with the led lights illuminating the water is really awesome. Highly recommend!

    We loved night kayaking, our tour guide - Jason from Cleveland, and viewing the nocturnal water creatures. Jason was full of knowledge, was very witty and funny. He made the trip exciting and very interesting. We highly recommend this tour!

  • 5/5 Cassidy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Night kayaking is one of the coolest things you can do in Key West. Our guide Jason was super enthusiastic about the wildlife, and was able to point out so many different species and teach us about them. The kayaking was very easy and it was a beautiful night. 10/10

  • 5/5 Judd B. 1 year ago on Google
    Kayaking around shorelines is one of my favorite ways to know an area intimately. I've always done it alone. I knew a night kayaking experience would be interesting but I was entirely unprepared for how interesting this would be. The guide was so eager to teach us about local wildlife, his energy was infectious. We saw (and occasionally touched) creatures I'd never have noticed on my own. This experience will vastly exceed your expectations, I guarantee it.

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite activities during my week long stay in the keys our tour guide Brandon was charismatic and knowledgeable showed us various marine animals and the views through the glass bottom was truly awesome. One of the things I lacked about this tour was how leisurely it was nothing was rushed and had plenty of time to take in the views especially through the mangrove tunnels that were gorgeous. Can’t recommend enough this will not disappoint

  • 5/5 Morgan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great time! You can see lots of interesting (or gross, YMMV) sea life in and around the mangroves. Our guide was happy to wade into the water to show interesting wildlife. In the dark it’s very comfortable (we went in May) but it’s a little hard to see far from your kayak. If you go, be sure to take a waterproof camera and stay close to the guide - that’s where you see all the coolest stuff.

  • 5/5 Taylor M. 1 year ago on Google
    The coolest experience we had while staying in Key West hands down. Truly unique and one of a kind! The tour guide Brandon is top notch. Incredibly friendly, professional, and his knowledge of the wild life and ecosystem made this experience something special. We had an absolute blast. This is worth every penny. We enjoyed this so much and will do this again next time we visit!

    My family and I had an amazing tour. We are very novice kayakers and never felt unsafe. Brandon was not only patient but encouraging and gave great tips for a successful trip. He did a wonderful job leading the tour and checked in frequently to see how we were doing. We got to see lots of local wildlife. Brandon wasn’t joking at the beginning of the tour when he says if you see something he will jump in and get it! I 100% would recommend this to anyone as it was such a unique and unforgettable experience!

    Last night in Key West on a weekend girls trip and I had signed the 7 of us up for the night time kayaking tour. It was the perfect way to end the trip and I felt like the hero for booking the excursion as everyone had such a fun time! The leader of the tour, Brandon, was professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about getting us up close to some pretty neat wildlife (something that we hadn’t expected but that really added to the whole experience). We had a beautifully clear night and felt very safe while on the tour despite varying abilities to kayak in our group. Would 100% recommend!

    Looking for a great time on a boat in Key West... Book with Night Kayak Key West. Marina is conveniently located and parking is FREE. We had a spectacular family day, with Diane as our jet boat driver. Highly recommend this company and private 4 hour boat prices are fair.

We saw lots of dolphins, a sea turtle, and the snorkel site was filled with coral and lots of fish. Drinks (soda, water, juice, beer) were included. The snorkel gear and li...
