What the Moon Saw: A Night in the Clear Kayak
Looking for a unique nighttime experience in Austin, TX. Discover what makes Get Up and Go Kayaking’s Glow Night Tours one of the most unforgettable clear kayak adventures you can have — where nature, moonlight, and glowing kayaks come together under the stars.
It starts with a hush.
The kind of hush you don’t notice until you’ve left behind the buzz of traffic, phones, and everyday life. You’re seated in a clear kayak, the last light of the day melting into a sky brushed with purples and golds. And then, like a secret slowly revealed, the moon rises.
Welcome to the Night Glow Tour with Get Up and Go Kayaking — where adventure meets awe.
Kayaking After Dark: Not What You Expect
Most people think of kayaking as a daytime activity — sunlight glinting on water, sunscreen, and sunglasses. But here’s the truth: Austin’s waters take on a completely different personality at night. There’s a kind of quiet magic in paddling through still, moonlit waters that feels almost… sacred.
Your kayak glows gently beneath you, illuminated from below. It’s not just cool-looking — it helps you spot curious fish, like gentle ghosts. And when the moonlight hits the just right, they look like they’ve stepped out of a dream.
You, the Stars, and the Stories
You’re not just here for the views. You’re here for a story. Maybe it’s your first paddle under the stars. Maybe it’s your anniversary. Maybe it’s just a Tuesday and you needed to feel something real again.
Every guide on our Glow Night Tours knows — it’s not just about steering a kayak. It’s about slowing time. It’s about hearing the splash of a fish, the flutter of wings, and realizing that nature is performing just for you.
And when you stop paddling and just float… that’s when the moon tells her stories. About the tides she pulls. The lovers she’s lit up. The countless paddles she’s seen slip through the water, night after night.
🔦Pro Tip
Want the best views during your Glow Night Tour? Try booking during a full moon or new moon! On full moons, the water glows silver. On new moons, the stars take center stage — and the glowing kayak lights stand out even more.
What to Bring (Besides a Sense of Wonder)
You don’t need to be an experienced kayaker. You just need to show up. We’ll provide the kayak, the lights, the safety gear, and the guide who knows where the magic hides. You bring:
- Water shoes or sandals (you might get a little wet — that’s part of the fun)
- A bottle of water
- A sense of wonder (non-negotiable)
Optional: A waterproof camera or phone pouch. Because trust us, your friends will want to see this.
