This was a surprise gift from my husband and what a treat! We had so much fun and did a date night just us two. It was such a unique experience. Would definitely recommend this to everyone. It can be fun for the whole family, group, or couples.

Itinerary
As darkness settles in, the bay transforms into a peaceful, dreamlike setting. The soft underwater lights often attract fish and other marine life, giving you a rare glimpse into the underwater world at night. Above you, the stars shine brightly, while below, the glowing water creates an unforgettable atmosphere you won’t find on a daytime tour.
This experience is both relaxing and exciting, offering a quiet escape from the busy beaches and a chance to connect with nature in a unique way. You’ll glide smoothly across the water, take in the cool night air, and enjoy a calm, scenic paddle that’s perfect for photos and special memories.
No prior paddling experience is needed. Beginners are welcome, and the stable equipment and safety gear make it easy and comfortable for most travelers to enjoy.
Whether you're on a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a trip with friends, this glowing paddle adventure is a magical way to see Panama City Beach after dark.

When we arrived, they did not ask for our reservation or ask us our names. We thought that was very odd. The lady did not give us any information until we asked where we were supposed to go. The boats were very rough and did not seem set up properly to be balanced. As soon as you started paddling we went in circles. The seats were poor at best. One boat had several lights, the other had 2 on it, so we couldn't see any fish or really anything unless it was about 6 inches from the boat, which was just the rocks when we were at shore. We lasted about 30 minutes before we gave up and left.
The young staff here was wxceptional, answered all of our questions, and helped us feel comfortable. Very nice manners and we had a blast!! So much fun and all the kayaks looked so pretty on the water. The young man that helped us was Xavier, he was very helpful and you could tell he loves his job!! Keep up the good work young man, they are lucky to have you!!
Perfect date night, we ended up getting there they had snacks and drinks waiting for us. Walked us through the safety steps of the kayaks (really easy) then sent us out on our adventure, we saw a horseshoe crab and even a couple stingrays! It was amazing! Thanks to Xavier he showed us spots where to go to look for certain things and the best spot to sit and watch the sunset on the kayaks. The whole experience was just amazing will definitely be coming back to see Xavier the next time we are in town!
Awesomeness!! Kids loved it, we got there and everything was ready to go, thanks to Xavier and karmin we found so many hermit crabs and shells! My kids were having a heyday lol. Awesome people and awesome experience. Thank you guys!
First off the experience was amazing, got there and they had snacks and drinks! Lights everywhere and beautiful kayaks. I had rented two of them for a 9pm-10pm but we got there a little early, If I remember correctly Xavier I want to say was so nice ! He sent us out a little bit earlier so we had more time!! Very nice workers and well worth the drive and trip.
We set up the tour thinking that it was going to be a tour, but when we got there, we were given the canoes and not kayaks and said don’t go here or go there or else you could be pulled out to sea and you need to be back by 10 o’clock. So basically we was left there at night to go out and find whatever it is that we were looking for which is why we hiredthem because they offered the tour! I requested a refund the owner tried to argue with me and tell me that it was not a tour and that’s when I sent him a picture of his own sign If the owner gives us a refund, I’ll be back to update the review
The guide was very friendly and helpful. The kayaks do not look like the kayaks advertised. There are 2 small round lights on each side of the kayak and they are up so high that they do not help to see anything in the water. My husband and I took our grandchildren and they had fun, but we couldn’t see anything. I would try to book with a different company. This is not at all how it was advertised.
1 weather event - completely understandable Rescheduled and operator stated that had unforeseen circumstances, Also understandable life happens. Then rescheduled for the third time, two other families waiting with us and no show. No answer to the phone numbers listed. Straight to voicemail.
This was misleading. Do not believe the photos. We booked 9:00 and the boats were not lit up yet. The staff said they weren’t given an accurate count of how many people were coming tonight. The lights appeared to be stick on and blinking. We couldn’t imagine what they possibly could light up. The sweet employee was slowly attaching glow sticks to the inside of the boat. Again, it didn’t light up an inch of the boat. We (4) people decided to leave and not take the chance of paddling in the dark for an hour. Waste of money and time.
Do not use this service it is a scam. We were given a location and time to meet at 9:00 pm and no one showed it was a ghost town.
Was a fun experience getting a kayak at night in the bay. The lights were fun and we’ll probably do it longer next time!
The best little trip! We had the best time. We would definitely do this again!! Thanks for such a fun and memorable experience!
Not at all what the pictures portrayed. The lights looked cheap and were terrible. We couldn’t see anything.
The idea of a glow kayaking experience is a great one, but in reality this was a total waste of money. Our son treated us to this and he should receive his money back. Pros: Zeke was a really nice kid and he worked hard to get everything ready. He had chairs out for us to sit and wait and also had snacks available. Cons: he mentioned the app doesn't say how many boats were rented so another family had to wait 30 minutes past their booking time. There wasn't enough flashlights available for each boat to have one so you really didn't get the benefit of seeing things in the water. It's a very small area that you are kayaking. Basically you just go back and forth. This company didn't have it all together and I felt bad for Zeke who was trying to get it done. Don't waste your money here.
Great idea, terrible execution Zeke was great tho. Not worth $130 for 4 of us but it’s a wonder idea
The guide was nice offered snacks and drinks before making sure everyone knew what to do, it was a great time overall
We went and no one showed up so we lost our money
Price was affordable and fair. Guide was very friendly and offered us snacks and water and Capri sun. Would definetly recommend!
This was really fun! Very unique experience to kayak at night with the glowing colors. We saw crab, a mantis shrimp, several shells. The water was warm. The lights from the bridge were beautiful. The night sky was gorgeous.
It was a nice evening on the water. Water was calm. The worker was very nice and helpful. Downside- we didn’t see any wildlife besides birds and it is right beside the highway so not exactly peaceful.
Wonderful experience! The host had snacks out and ready for us when we arrived. Easy going experience and chill atmosphere. Nice and friendly guidance on where to look for marine life. Definitely recommend!
The equipment needs maintenance and they were short lights and no Life preservers. Even lacked enough paddles there was nothing in the bay to observe that night other than grass and mud. Feel sorry for the boys operating the operation, but they need to step it up.
We had a blast! After driving all the way here we wanted to do something calm but fun. I was able to book the glow boats for 10pm for four people. We were given glow sticks and fun glowing necklaces for extra flare. The business owner was also super friendly and nice which made the experience even better. I would highly recommend even for those new to kayaking because it is the perfect place to learn.
The tour company stood us up. Got there 15 minutes early as required wanted till 15 minutes past tour start time. Called twice the night of. Sent an email and called the next day. Completely ghosted me. $150 down the drain.
Really cool experience. Boats were well maintained, lights were bright and super colorful. We did the 9:30p time slot. Saw lots of stingrays, lobsters, crabs, and shrimp. Our guide was great and VERY passionate about the ecosystem and environment of PCB.
It was soo much fun 10/10 I recommend you to do it😊 Very nice out the view of the light on the buildings
Waste of money. Paddle is in a bay with a sandy bottom and there is nothing to see. Also the bottoms of the boats are so scratched you can see more off the side of the kayaks.
There weren't any fish, rays, or crabs as suggested we would see. Paddling in the dark in an unfamiliar area with no guide isn't much fun. The water was clear and we could see the floor of the bay, it was boring after 20 minutes
This experience was incredibly different and exciting for us. I love kayaking but it has always been down rivers, this was new and I would certainly do it again. As a couple it was very relaxing and enjoyable.
Awesome time with friends and the staff was great! Views were nice! Definitely booking again! They are the best in PCB!
The experience was interesting, we all had our own boat. It was a calm night in the bay. Unfortunately we saw very little fish life
5 adventurous girlfriends out on neon lit kayaks, at 9 pm, in Panama City Beach, Florida can only equal FUN! Amy and Isaac set us up and we were out exploring in the dark! The kayaks were all lit up, clear so you could see the little sea creatures swimming beneath you. We had a choppy night, so we didn’t see as much as we could have if it were calmer, but oh my!! It was really a different experience. The water is shallow, so you could easily see the sandy bottom. We would all highly recommend booking this. It’s just not your typical kayaking adventure! Thanks Amy and Isaac!!
