About this tour
See Sarasota’s waterways glow from beneath your kayak on this 75-minute Sarasota Glass-Bottom LED Night Kayak Tour. Custom underwater lights illuminate the clear kayak floor, giving you a view into the water as you paddle through the evening.

Along the way, enjoy views of the John Ringling Causeway Bridge and Sarasota skyline. Each outing is different, making this family-operated Sarasota Glass-Bottom LED Night Kayak Tour a fresh experience on the water.

This tour scores 4.00 on Viator and 4.36 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
How the score works and rating distribution in Sarasota
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.5.
