Absolutely NOT worth what we paid. Disappointing.
Peter_W

First: the guides were very nice. But the seat on my kayak kept sliding back-and-forth which was really uncomfortable. Then I was under the impression that we were going to see many many many fish, like when you go snorkeling at a decent spot and that it was a given- but when we got there we found out that there was no guarantee we would see ANYTHING at all. In one hour I saw exactly ONE fish and IG was the same color as the sand. So we essentially spent $600 to paddle around at night hearing nonstop talking from the guides (and some okay jokes, but I can get jokes on YouTube for free) looking at a sandy ocean floor. It was absolutely NOT worth 45 minutes of round trip driving and the money we paid. I hate to have a negative effect on the business of the kids running the tour, but it was a big disappointment. I gave it two stars because a lit up send through kayak is a cool thing and it was peaceful to kayak at night but not $100 per person peaceful. Not recommended. At all.

Caylee and unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the other individual but I do remember he is studying Marine Biology were extremely kind and gave lots of information as we moved along the tour. Definitely a great experience and a great one to make memories with the family. Loved everything about it!!!
Awesome experience!

Night kayaking was such a cool experience. Our guides were knowledgeable, and it was super easy to learn how to kayak. We got to see stingrays, tarpon, and even a sea turtle!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Wow Anna_S, we love that not only did you enjoy the cool experience of kayaking at night but also that you were able to see some beautiful underwater sea life! We are happy to know that our guides shared their knowledge with you and you caught onto kayaking quickly. Thank you again for joining us.
Great experience!

Night kayak was awesome! The view was breathtaking and the water was extremely clear. The instructors were also very informative and friendly!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Hi Akasha_B, we couldn’t be happier to hear you had such a great time during our night kayaking. The night time views of the Charolette Amalie Harbor are incredible especially when you are able to see them from out on the water. We are happy to hear the instructors were informative and friendly as well!
You’ve GOT to do this tour!

Wow - this excursion is probably my favorite in all my years of traveling. My parents, siblings, and I were all exhausted after a long beach day and considered skipping. We’re SO grateful we didn’t! Our guides, Zach and Kaylee (sorry if that’s the wrong spelling!), were so funny and informative! We saw giant rays, huge tarpon, and a sea turtle! We all decided that even if we didn’t see a single animal, the boats and seeing the island at night was cool enough. You won’t regret booking this one!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Wow wk66y28pff, we couldn’t be happier hearing how much you enjoyed your time during our night kayaking. We are so glad you and your family chose not to skip out on the night with us, we sure would have missed ya! Not only did you get to see the beautiful Charolette Amalie harbor lit up at night but you also got to see so much beautiful underwater sea life! Thank you so much for this amazing review. We look forward to you joining us again!
Fun and worthwhile

The guide was nice. We didn't really see much out in the water until we were docking and saw a few at the dock. It was a nice concept but I think was too early for the tour maybe.

The waiver link would not download. They sent it multiple times. It finally opened. We painfully filled out the information. Upon arrival they said that it did not show that anyone had filled them out. So, in the dark, we had to fill it out again. So we were late going out. I did not see anything. Others saw a few things. Definitely disappointed.
Underwhelming kayaking experience

This was a disappointing experience. "Illuminated Night Kayaking" sounds much cooler than it really is. If you are going for the experience of kayaking in the Caribbean, you will be disappointed by the very small area you are allowed to access (just a few hundred yards from the dock). If you are going to see aquatic life through the "glass bottomed kayaks", you will be disappointed by the limited visibility and scarce activity after dark. If you want to see fish, turtles, sting rays, etc., you'd be better off snorkeling in daylight. If you want to really kayak, this isn't for you either. But if you just want a relaxing (if somewhat unimpressive) time on the water being told what marine animals you "just saw" without actually seeing much of anything, then by all means, enjoy!

Great experience!

I thought it was a very nice experience. It was our first time kayaking. The instructors were great with explaining what to do. We still were having a time, but I thought we did pretty good. It was like bumper cars. We kept running into people. We saw a huge turtle and other sea life. We got very wet, but I think it was because we didn’t know how to handle the paddle properly. I was glad they gave the option to but your shoes, etc. in a bin they secured; especially my phone. Great experience …!
Response from Host , Jul 2022
What better way to enjoy a night under the stars while out on the water staring at the historical Charlotte Amalie harbor lit up. We welcome all of our first timers with open arms and make sure you have a great time. We love knowing you got to see some other sea life as well as a Sea turtle. Whenever you are out on the water, there is the possibility of getting wet so if we can help keep your items dry, we will! So glad you had a great experience during your Night Kayak excursion. Take care.
Cool night time activity

Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi Peggy_B, we love that you were able to see so much nighttime sea life while on your night kayaking. The guides enjoy being able to not only show you the harbor lit up under the start but trying to find some cool sea life as well. We are glad you had such a fantastic evening. Thank you again for joining us.
