Families and first-timers consistently rave about the nighttime glass-bottom kayaking experience here, with guides like Cameron, Aaron, Logan, and Grant earning special praise for their friendly, patient approach. The setup is beginner-friendly and relaxing, with multiple launch locations across the area (they're flexible about switching sites if weather doesn't cooperate). The highlight for most is feeding catfish and watching them swarm beneath the lit glass bottoms, which kids especially love. Some lucky groups spot manatees, stingrays, or barracuda, though wildlife sightings vary by night. The tours run longer than scheduled when the action is good, and guides genuinely don't rush anyone through the experience. A few guests wished for more educational commentary about local ecology and history, and one experienced kayaker felt the tour catered mainly to beginners. The company provides bug spray and other thoughtful touches, plus they're responsive via text if plans need changing. It's clearly designed as a mellow, family-friendly outing rather than an intense nature expedition, and most people leave delighted with the unique experience.
We booked the night kayak fish feeding tour we had 7 people in our party. Sharkey’s had fantastic communication, the website clear about how to book events and when to expect to receive the next steps. The booking process was easy. We got the text with detailed instructions and photos to help clarify where to go and what landmarks to look for. The guides were super friendly and very experienced kayakers. They were intentional about engaging with each person and were very good conversationalists. The experience itself was so much fun! The novelty of the LED lights created excellent photography opportunities. And the feeding frenzy the fish food created was a lot of fun! We did spot dolphins a couple times on our trek which was magical! Everyone loved it from the youngsters to the grandparents.
