Our new LED-lit kayaks illuminate the waters near your boat, creating a magical ambiance while you experience the sea life, akin to snorkeling without getting wet. It’s all about the memories and this Illuminated Kayak Tour is a truly unique experience.
Tour Highlights:

CANCELLATION POLICY
Due to high demand and limited seats for our tours, all sales are final. We do not offer refunds. However, we understand that life can sometimes take an unexpected turn. We are happy to reschedule your tour date/time complimentary if given at least 48 hours’ notice. 24-48 hour’s notice, no refund or $25.00 rebooking fee.
Don’t be late: If you are late and not at the meeting point by the time of your tour, STWS reserves the right to sell your seat, without refund or reschedule. We recommend that you try to make it to the tour departure site at least 45 minutes prior to tour time. Please plan for taxi or traffic delays.
Tours Depart Rain or Shine
Most tours can still depart safely in light rain.
Your guide will only cancel the tour when there are prolonged conditions that make departure unsafe. We understand that many have just one day/night available to do their tour, so when postponing for passing weather is possible, we will do our best to depart tours when it is safe to do so.
Here is what to expect if there is inclement weather when you arrive for your tour:
- We will wait 30 minutes past a lightning strike within 10 miles.
- Tours may be delayed past initial launch time. Please be prepared to wait.
- Many guests have travelled a long way, or have flights home, so we will wait for weather to clear and launch the tour when it is safe to do so.
- If there are spaces available guest may “rebook” on later tours the same day or evening, no charge.
- Guests that do not stay through the 1st 15 minute weather hold will not be eligible for a raincheck. This means, if your tour was scheduled to depart at 8:30, you must be willing to wait until at least 8:45 due to weather. Guests who leave before this will not be rebooked or issued a raincheck.
