Sailor was amazing and very patient with our group as we were learning to navigate our kayaks. I felt very safe while still having a lot of fun. The experience was terrific and I’d like to do this again. Thank you Sailor!

Had a great time. Jostin was a great guide and he takes the best pictures. If you go on any tour, this is the one to take. Hopefully you get Jostin.

Coda was absolutely the best, hands down. He was so patient, great instructor, and it was quite the adventure! The night had some unexpected wind, choppy waters, but his guidance in navigating the ocean was so reassuring. He's a wealth of knowledge and lucky me, I had a needlenose fish hop into our kayak towards the end of the tour causing me to loose concentration as I was trying not to sit on it, brought lots of unexpected laughter and nerves at the same time. Coda sang us a song adverb he found out we were celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Quite the experience for sure, memories to cherish forever!
The coolest experience

We are staying in a condo in Cowpet Bay West (highly recommend!) and stumbled upon the water sports for the Elysian hotel on the beach. I have travelled the world and been to USVI half a dozen times and this is one of the coolest activities I have ever done! It was so gorgeous to leave at sunset and the water was so clear! We saw so many fish and starfish and just had the best time! We had never even kayaked before and it was very easy. Thank you Coda & Chevelle for the best night!
Night Kayaking is Fun & Relaxing

This was a great tour! The guides were all really nice, fun and knowledgeable. They seem to really have fun doing the tours. We saw a lot of sea life. Even if we hadn't seen any sea life the night kayaking is really fun and relaxing. The tour guides took a lot of great pics and videos that they shared with us. Would do this again anytime!

We had a great night for illuminated kayaking out of Elysian Resort. Handy for us since we were staying there. Chevelle knew where to find tarpon, starfish and rays. We got to see a very fast Eagle Ray under our kayak! Coda took great pictures, which was tough because there were alot of people on our tour that night. Thank you both! Highly recommend this tour!
