Clear Kayak Glow Tours: A Magical Adventure in Fort Walton Beach, Florida
Fort Walton Beach is nestled along the stunning Emerald Coast of Florida, a gem known for its pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters. While daytime adventures here are nothing short of spectacular, a unique 1.5-hour experience transforms this coastal paradise into something truly magical after sunset.
The Magic of Glow Kayak Tours
Imagine paddling through the Santa Rosa Sound under a starlit sky. As the sun sets and the world around you fades into darkness, the water takes on a new character—mysterious, serene, and full of surprises. Your clear kayak glows as it throws amazing colors into the water. Blue, Pink, White, and Green—you can pick the color of your GLOW adventure.
The effect is mesmerizing and almost otherworldly, turning your evening paddle into an unforgettable adventure. Aquatic life, such as Blue Crabs, Cownose stingrays, and fish, are attracted to the light and often swim beneath your clear kayak to see what the “glow show” is about.
The tour doesn’t just involve exploring the world underneath your clear kayak. You will use headlamps and flashlights to explore the spoil islands, looking in the trees for roosting birds and on the sand beaches for nocturnal animals looking for a feast.
Get Up and Go Kayaking Tours are small, with a limit of 10 guests per tour; only two GLOW TOURS are available each night!
What to Expect
One of the first things you notice when kayaking at night is the profound silence that envelops you. Away from the hustle and bustle of the day, the only sounds are the gentle lapping of water against your kayak and perhaps the distant calls of nocturnal birds or the rustle of leaves on the shore. It’s a peaceful solitude that allows you to connect with nature.
Our Clear Kayak Glow Tours suit all experience levels, including beginners. We provide all necessary equipment, including kayaks, paddles, life jackets, specialty glow lights, headlamps, flashlights, and a top-rated guide, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. Before setting out with your guide, you’ll receive a brief orientation on kayaking techniques and safety protocols.
