The Night Kayak / GLOW tour is an award-winning excursion based out of the beautiful Westin Resort, St. John. Upon arrival, "get your glow on" with glow paint and photos (bring your own phone into the water at your own risk). Upon departure, be amazed by the clear-bottom kayaks and the glow of your kayak. Some clear water parts of the cove allow you to search for marine life below, such as pre-historic tarpons and stingrays. Other parts, more murky, create a fun and spooky experience as you paddle along the shoreline. Allow your A-Team of guides to take you on a nocturnal adventure you won't soon forget!

Ton of fun with teenagers
HoustonBusyMom, October 2026
We took the Night Kayak tour with our family friends. We were already staying at the Westin so the meeting location was ideal. We painted ourselves with the glow in the dark paint, the received instructions & put on our life jacket. You will get wet from paddling the water so I’d recommend dressing accordingly. The lifejackets have zipper pockets if you need to a store small person item. The fish are plentiful. We say a baby shark, turtle, tarpon, and grouper. The tarpon were so active a 2.5 footer jumped in the boat the our 16 year old daughters! He successfully flapped his way back into the water with some help from Christiano. Shout to our tour guide, Christiano! He was very informative.

Different than any kayak experience you will ever have
andrewmX9723NH, October 2026
Truly a unique experience! Our guide, Doug, was fantastic. This isn't about paddling - It's about being surounded by hundreds of large Tarpons and countless smaller fish (sometimes the small fish jump in your kayak,and yes, we put them back in the ocean). We even saw a turtle and two or three sharks.
