Destin Night Glow Clear Kayak Tour

While the area is home to many species of fish, crabs, rays, pelicans, birds, and dolphins, we can not guarantee they will appear during the tour. It is always a hope but never a guarantee! Even if wildlife does not appear during the tour, our experienced guides will make it fun as they search for wildlife, stop for photo opportunities, and take swim breaks (daytime tours).

A DEET-free insect repellent is recommended because it’s generally considered safer for marine environments and wildlife. Traditional repellents containing DEET can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems if they wash off into the water. Since kayaking brings you close to sensitive coastal habitats, many guides encourage environmentally friendly options such as repellents made with picaridin, lemon eucalyptus, or other plant-based ingredients. These products still provide effective protection while helping reduce impact on the surrounding ecosystem.

Overall, tandem kayaking is a multifaceted activity that offers physical, mental, social, and environmental benefits, making it a rewarding pursuit for people of all ages and skill levels.

• We welcome paddlers of all skill levels; however, kayaking can be a physically demanding activity.  Winds, tides, and weather can all impact the difficulty of the paddle. Adults paddling with a child and solo paddles require moderate physicality as you will do all the work.
• Beginners are welcome on Paddleboard tours, but moderate physicality is required.

Our Clear Kayak Eco tour provides an unobstructed, 360-degree view above and below the water while exploring salt marshes, remote sand beaches, and hidden coves.

• You will learn about local ecology and wildlife from our passionate, expert, CPR-certified guides.
• Your experience will be personal, as tours are limited to 5 kayaks.
• An ecosystem like no other in Florida!
• You are contributing to preserving this unique ecosystem as a portion of each tour is donated to the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge.
• Our private launch allows you to escape the busy downtown bustle of  Destin for a serene adventure in nature.
• Make unforgettable memories with family and friends, or even embark on a solo adventure while exploring the beauty and wonder of the great outdoors.
• You are supporting a small, woman-owned business.

The tours are a great family experience, and we are confident you will capture the perfect family photos of your vacation!

• Our tours are family-friendly, and children ages 5+ are welcome on our daytime, sunset, and glow tours.
• Children 6 and under are legally required to wear a life jacket while on the water. We provide life jackets for children over 30 pounds.
• We require children 30 pounds or under to bring their own Coast Guard-approved life jackets, as the size is very specific, and safety is paramount.
• One adult must attend for every child aged 14 and under. Children under 15 cannot paddle without an adult.  We recommend a moderate fitness level for those kayaking with children, as the adult will do all the work.
• We require one adult per teen, 15-17, to attend the experience and sign waivers. However, there does not have to be a one-to-one adult ratio, as required for children 14 and under. We rely upon the adult to determine if a single teen has the physical ability to navigate the kayak in various tides and winds.

A night-time glow kayak tour offers a completely different way to experience Destin’s coastal waterways. Once the sun sets, the marshes and bays become quieter and more peaceful, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing paddle under the stars. With fewer boats and less activity on the water, the evening hours allow you to enjoy a calmer, more immersive connection with the natural surroundings.

What makes the experience truly unique is the clear kayak paired with LED glow lighting. The lights illuminate the water beneath your kayak, giving you a rare chance to see movement below the surface while you paddle. Fish and other marine life may pass through the glowing water, creating a fascinating view you simply can’t get during the day.

It’s also a memorable way to enjoy Destin after dark. Whether you’re planning a fun family outing, a date night, or just looking for something different to do on the Emerald Coast, the glow tour combines nature, adventure, and a bit of nighttime magic into one unforgettable experience.
