We had such a good time on the night kayak tour. Josh and Shawn were our guides and made it fun. We say a spotted eagle ray, turtles and multitudes of large tarpon. It was a highlight of our trip and I strongly suggest giving it a try.

We really enjoyed the tour. The guides were very helpful. We took our 5 year old and she loved it!

Our tour was on a Thursday night @ 8:30. Stay near the front of the pack with the guide or you will miss out on the guided tour information. We saw a few turtles, rays and tarpons.Wish there were fewer kayaks, less bumping in to each other and a better chance to hear the guide.

Our children really enjoyed the experience of kayaking at night and seeing fish under their boats. We also enjoyed a bit of scenery and the group atmosphere. A tarpin jumping very close to our kayak gave us an additional excitement during our trip! The guides were entertaining although the jokes were a bit predictable. I would say the only reason we did not give a five start review is that near the end of the tour the lights went out on 2 out of 4 of our kayaks. Although the bulbs were replaced fairly quickly by one of the guides, one would hope that there would be some kind of regular replacement plan to prevent that occurring during a trip. One other unexpected element is that the trip was sold out which meant that one in our party of seven had to go with someone we did not know. Other than these small items, we had a great time.

Our teenaged daughters did this on our first night on the island. They enjoyed it immensely! The team that led the group seemed competent and confident. No experience was necessary. They did, however, allow an extremely drunk couple to go on the tour. It made our girls a bit uncomfortable, but somewhat amused. I am just not sure that is such a wise decision. All in all a great tour and we would recommend it!

Great experience! Amazing sea life that swims right up to the bottom of your kayak! Even if you have never kayaked, you will have no problems and be able to enjoy all of the sights! Highly recommend.

Mehhhh... My expectations were high but we hardly saw anything. Tour guides told dumb dad jokes the whole time. Not worth $50

Went with a group of 5 for this experience. We heard we should change our time at 9:30pm to an earlier time so we could see the light show. Wow!! So glad we did. We changed to 8:30pm and seeing the light show was opulence. The only word to describe it. We honestly didn't see much for water life...but the light show made it worth it. Dillan was our tour guide. He was very friendly, helpful, patient and a good sense of humor. Would recommend this to others coming to the USVI for a visit.

My tour was the first we took on this trip and Emma was amazing!

I didn't want to do it, because I am scared of fish. I felt very safe, and had so much fun. I am so glad I was talked into it.

Not only did we see sleeping sea turtles and active sea turtles, but we got to watch a Jack following a Manta Ray, and several fish dining on minnows that were attracted to our lights. The guide was wonderful, and we got a very interesting view of the sea at night!
Review by: Billie L, September 2015
Our guide was very k knowledgeable, not only about the sea life, but also regarding the local history.

This is a MUST DO! Stich, Emma and Mike were so helpful to answer every question the group had. Great history of the island given along with the view! Thank you!

Review by: Edward M, March 2015
Pretty disappointed, did not see as much as we had hoped. Too many on tour with a lot of people not knowing how to kayak. However, guides were very knowledgeable and engaging.
