Fun night out - Really cool to see the water light up - be prepared to swim as a choice to engage with the water more. Kayaks weren't the most comfortable but other than that great time.

Fun adventure - Bring swimming clothes to make glow angels. Lots of fun seeing the water light up with any touch to it.

Family night out - We were a hesitant bunch, but I’m so glad I dragged my adult kids along — we had a fantastic time! Mike was the perfect host, blending humor with fascinating history about the place and aqueducts. He taught us to paddle, the kids loved balancing on the boards, and the city views were beautiful. Best of all, it felt safe and worry-free!

Wonderful experience! - Fantastic! Savanah and Bryce were super. Wonderful experience. No moon so we had top visibility! The group was also small (8 kayaks).

Too many paid customers, barely any bioluminescent lights - Far too many kayakers in our group lights were only in one small area and barely viable, nothing at all like the advertised pictures. Def not worth the $ and def would not do again.

Mediocre - Seeing the bioluminescence was a great experience but our guide was difficult to keep track of and didn’t engage with the group often. The majority of the tour consisted of us sitting and waiting for further instruction, it all felt a bit lazy.

DO NOT BOOK! - DO NOT BOOK! Worst tour experience ever. The confirmation link didn’t work, so we spent ages in the dark trying to find the place. When we finally found it, our guide Logan was rude, aggressive, and unprofessional from the start. He complained that the lights had been out for a month, made biased comments about Californians, mocked one of our friends after pressuring her to share her job, and even made inappropriate remarks about the way we dressed. He kept flashing bright blue lights at us and another family, making the whole thing even more inappropriate. We didn’t feel safe going on a 10pm kayaking tour with someone like this. And the admin team was no better. We tried contacting them multiple times, only to be told to “call back at XYZ time,” and we could never get through to the owner, Richard. Pure buck-passing, zero accountability. Absolutely unacceptable.
