Glow-in-the-dark clear kayak tour in Winter Park, Orlando. Paddle calm canals at night, see fish and mansions, learn from a guide.
“Chris was a great guide, although at times it was a bit hard to hear him. That tiny thing aside, we so enjoyed this. We are NOT young or athletic, and came with minimal kayaking experience. He was helpful and patient. We saw a lovely sunset and ended with moonlight and stars. It was peaceful and beautiful. Got some great pix. Not much in the way of wildlife. Go with the goal of enjoying whatever you see, and the experience of dusk/night kayaking and you will have fun. Most folks can do this. Go for it!”

Each stop offered something different and tasty. Overall a great tour and would definitely try their other tours. Most try...”
