5.00It was a lot of fun, our tour guide pointed out quite a few fish and a ray and found us a few turtles to see. They also shined a flashlight to show us the jumping fish.

4.00Nice sturdy kayaks, able to see under the water even though they were not the “clear kayaks” you typically think of. The bottom was clear. Lots of large tarpon, a few sting rays and a sea turtle named “pickles” that frequents the area. At times it was difficult to hear the guide, although she was knowledgeable. This was a unique experience. I feel like the tour could have lasted a little longer. It was shy of an hour. We are glad we did this tour since it was something different and memorable.
Glowing fun

5.00The Glow Boat excursion was definitely well worth it. Paul was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the underwater creatures. We saw several sting rays tarpon and turtles among other things. The glass bottom kayaks were easy to maneuver. All 4 of us had a blast!
Its a float on a boat trip, not much kayaking

3.00This isn't a kayaking trip, more over float around the dock and look for turtles, stingrays and fish with the guide's flashlight. I was very disappointed looking at kayaking excursions with other companies who had lighted bottom boats, headlights and actually kayaked the coast of the island and had a decent length route and trip. When we left the dock I was wondering why we were waiting and if I were to start paddling. The owner and guide were very nice since we were the only couple to book that 830pm slot and feel like we were cut short by about 20-30 minutes. If you're a first time kayaker, this may be a good way to learn, else I'd look for another company to book with as they are cheaper and go further around the island. Between the 150 ticket price for 2, 60 dollar around trip in the taxi and 20 dollar tip, its not worth 230 dollars unless you are staying right at the Marriott property. I usually do not write bad reviews but this was the most disappointing part of our short trip.
