Family fun night time kayak tour - My kids and I had a very fun and educational experience with Sunny doing a night time tour. She was very knowledgeable regarding the ecosystem and clearly belongs on these waters sharing that knowledge with her patrons. My kids had never kayaked before but she was able to get them up to speed quickly and kept us safe and entertained the entire time. She and my son were trading spongebob references between the scientific enlightenment and kayak lessons which was quite fun for all of us. The bioluminescent algae wasn't super active due to the weather being a little chilly but the glowie jellies were awesome and we also ran into a bunch of fun loving horse shoes crabs having the time of their lives as well as a variety of bird and fish species that made themselves known to us. Sunny seemed to know quite a bit about each species we encountered, making the entire experience highly educational and entertaining. We booked during a rocket launch that SpaceX unfortunately postponed, but I'm stoked to go back out again and try to catch a different launch sometime soon.

Bioluminescent Jellies! - We booked a tour with Sunny Nights Kayak Tours while visiting Florida for our honeymoon (from Maryland). We really enjoyed the tour and Sunny was an amazing guide! We got to venture on shore to one of the islands and discovered some prickly pears, as well as observe the wildlife, such as a heron and lots of mullet! With this time of year, the algae had subsided, but we got to catch (and eventually release) lots of bioluminescent jelly fish! It was a great adventure and we would highly recommend!

Memorable Evening! - I had an amazing time out with Sunny! An experience everyone should try at LEAST once in their lives but I recommend more! Sunny was very down to earth, kind and easy to converse with! She was very knowledgeable and shared a wealth of knowledge while on tour. Safety comes first and foremost with her and she makes you feel very safe out in the open water at night. It was my first time ever kayaking specifically at night but I felt quickly at ease. We had perfect weather for our trip! We “caught” two shooting stars, found some cool seashells from a nearby island, and were able to help the ecosystem by spotting and snagging a cast iron skillet from the shore in shallow water, and a 2 liter full Coca-Cola bottle floating in the water. My favorite part is was getting to catch, hold (and release) the jelly’s that light up when you touch them! Sunny let me try my hand at catching a few with the net! Which a cool feeling when your net finds one and it lights up with the little jellies inside! I for sure would recommend her tours and can’t wait to come back and do another one! Thank you Sunny! Until next time!

Kayaking at night is a must do! - My wife and I booked a tour for our 2 year anniversary and it did not disappoint! We kayaked to a little island where we got to see the rocket launch! We were also able to catch some Comb Jellies! The stars were incredible…Sunny was so great and really made our night fantastic! If you’re looking for something different to do or you want to try kayaking but don’t know where to start, Sunny is the perfect guide!
