Rockport Glow Kayaking Tour - Paradise Key

Tours can be scheduled March through November, but spots are limited and must be reserved in advance. All tours take place once the sun goes down.

All reservations must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance.

All participants must be 18 or older - no exceptions. Our nighttime kayaking experiences are designed to combine glowing water, wildlife spotting, and immersive lighting in low-light conditions. For safety, enjoyment, and to fully appreciate the unique experience, participants must be adults. The combination of paddling at night, navigating the waterways, and using specialized equipment makes these tours best suited for an adult audience seeking a safe, relaxing, and memorable adventure.

Please arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled time to allow for check-in and a safety briefing. Late arrivals will have less time on the water.

YES, kayaking is a water sport and it is very important to know how to swim.

Yes - up to 400 lbs per vessel. This is not enforced by the staff but rather by the laws of physics.

The maximum weight limit of a single person may not exceed 250lbs.

We ask that the heavier person sits in the back of the kayak. This will make it easier to maneuver.

In the event of preference or weight being an issue, we offer the option of purchasing two (2) seats to reserve a kayak completely to yourself.

Our staff has extra batteries on hand to keep you glowing throughout the entire tour!

The weather in our area is generally quite pleasant. It's one reason Texas is considered a major vacation destination. The months of July through October can produce strong afternoon thunderstorms that we carefully monitor. Our staff continually monitors weather conditions to ensure you have the safest and most enjoyable trip possible.

Obviously, we are not in charge of the weather and cannot change a rainy day to accommodate your plans. Your best bet is to be prepared for all types of weather so you will remain comfortable. Please, carefully review the gear list provided and follow the recommendations. *Light rain is not considered a reason to cancel a booking.

We will not paddle in thunderstorms, high wind, or any weather that is dangerous. We do sometimes paddle in light rain if there is no threat of lightning. Our policy if a thunderstorm threatens is we "wait it out" and see if the radar indicates it may pass through or dissipate. The nature of thunderstorms in the summer is that they move fast and generally dissipate just after dark as the day cools or they rain themselves out.

Please remember your tour is not canceled unless you hear from us via email. Having a schedule that is a little flexible in the summer is also a help if we have to delay a little while to let a storm pass. Some of our best paddles happen just after a thunderstorm when everything goes calm.

While gratuities are by no means required, any gratuity you feel appropriate is very much appreciated and welcomed. As in all service industries, 10% or more is a good rule to follow when considering how much to tip.

ALL bug sprays, sunscreens, and tanning lotions are strictly prohibited from use. This will melt the surface of the kayak and will incur a service charge of $125 for refinishing the inside surface.

OFF!® clip-on's and electronic Thermocell's are permitted for aeromatic bug repellant in the case there is concern over bugs. We do not provide these at this time.

Of course, in fact, we encourage photos and videos, how else are you going to tell your friends about finding the lost city of Atlantis through the bottom of your kayak? **We are not responsible for any lost or dare we say, eaten, electronic items.

This is a low-light environment. If your phone is capable, we recommend using the 'Night' mode to get a higher quality photo for low-light environments.

Yes, only soft coolers. We ask that hard coolers be left in your vehicle.

As much as we love our furry and feathered friends, we do not allow them to come along on the experience.
