What a great experience! We have never been night kayaking and it was so much fun. Our tour guy was so informative and super nice. He got out of the boat and caught different sea life for us to touch and look at. Super cool!!

This was one of the coolest things I found in Key West. The whole concept of a clear bottom kayak is phenomenal. The LED strips really light up the water well, allowing a good view of the sea life below. The tour guide Brandon was a pretty awesome dude. During the tour he was very educational and professional the whole time. During the Kayak tour across the Channel and through the mangroves, we encountered a lot of sea life. Brandon even caught multiple things to show the group. It was pretty cool, he had large Mason jars that he would put a small fish 🐠, crab 🦀 or jellyfish in to pass around the group. Old or young, I recommend this tour to anybody. I will definitely be back on my next trip 🤙

Such an amazing experience!! Our guide was awesome & very knowledgeable. He caught an octopus by hand & let us all touch it. So awesome to be able to see whats swimming underneath us. Definitely recommend doing this. We got great pictures and it was just an awesome experience!!

Beyond excellent. Pavel was a joy to coordinate with and Brandon was extremely careful and safe with everyone. The trip is worth every penny. It is an amazing experience. Not only the grandkids but the adults on our group of 6 were over the moon with what they saw. Brandon made even the scary parts seem fun!

Just go. This is amazing. Saw octopus, lobsters, birds, iguanas and more. Brandon is amazing and fun to tour with! Pictures are hard to get sometimes, many brought a go pro. Do it do it do it!!! You’re welcome.

Must do activity!My fiancee and I saw this and wanted to do it. We tried signing up the day of but it was booked. They called us and worked with us to find a time that worked. My immediate thought was, Wow that is great customer service.The tour itself was one of the most unique things I have done in Key West. The kayaks have great visibility under the water. I found myself mesmerized looking down and watching the fish follow my kayak!The tour guide (I believe it was Brendan) was absolutely incredible. Multiple times, he jumped out to grab sea-life that we had found and gave tips on holding them, if they bite, etc. He encouraged us to call out if we saw anything. I found a baby Octopus and he came over and was able to catch it to show it to us. It was amazing!I highly recommend this. We stayed off of Duval and rode rental bikes to the site. It was a little over 4 miles each way. It was worth it!

Such a fun experience! It was obvious that our guide really loved the ocean and ocean life. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about every creature that was spotted. He also made sure that everyone was safe and had a great time. Would love to do it again!

Brandon, our guide was amazing! We had three women in our 50’s that went on the 10 pm excursion. One in our party was very nervous about kayaking but Brandon made us all very comfortable and said he had our back!! This was a great trip and we all learned a lot about the areas ecosystem and different ocean species. Thanks so much! Hope to have this adventure again soon.

If it were an option, I would rate “0” stars. Their Google site indicated that they were open for business and then told me that he had friends at his home who were waiting on him and to get to my questions. We were advised to book well in advance and when I hurriedly got to my question, “what time on the tour options, he said it depends on the time of year after I already told him the dates so when I reminded him that I had already shared that information with him, then he stated he had no idea what time the tours would be??? If you are not open for business, then do not state in your hours that you are and an easy Google search would have assisted with what time it gets dark that time of year in the event that you as what you claim are a very successful business owner, happens to have forgotten that information and if you do not want to assist your customers with necessary information to book a tour, then you do not need to be operating a business!

Our afternoon boat tour with Captain Turtle was very fun. He had a cooler ready for us and we took off right away. He was a super knowledgeable about the area and we were able to see two beautiful spots. It was a relaxing, fun day out on the water. Can’t wait to go back.

Really cool experience!! The guides were great and super patient! Its a wonderful idea. Peaceful and serene. I wish our tour would have had a few more sea creatures but he did the best he could to show us fun things and give some knowledge!

It was an amazing experience! We got to see a variety of aquatic life in its natural environment. Brandon was an excellent tour guide, he was very knowledgeable in all aquatic life and he was also great with kids. The tour was a little over an hour and we even got to touch some critters he caught during our tour at the end. Would definitely reccomend for both adults and kids of all ages.

Did our first night kayak on the full moon in February (8pm tour) and just went back for our second trip on the late trip tonight (this time our son came along). Both adventures were a lot of fun. We saw different things each time. Tonight a nurse shark swam under our group. Between the 2 trips we saw a sea hare, a squid, various crabs and fish, lobsters, etc. Thanks to Brandon. This is a really fun experience.

Review №25

Highly recommend! Our tour guide, Brandon, was extremely knowledgeable and showed our group everything from an octopus, lobsters, a nurse shark, a sunken boat, and much more. Brandon would quickly hop into the water and pull out creatures of interest - allowing us pet an octopus! My partner and I opted to take the single kayaks which seems easier to maneuver. Each boat is clear bottom with L.E.D. lights. Reach out to Brandon and you will not be disappointed.

So where do I start, We booked this tour for July 4th the night tour 4 months in advance, but however they called on July 1 and canceled our tour!When I asked why the tour was being canceled this was his response we are canceling for your safety, there will be many drunk boaters that night and we just found out that that the city is doing fireworks on that night. Wait what? How did I know 3 months and this company only found out July 1st? Then this guy asked if we would like to do 10:00pm tour, by this point Im really upset because thats even more dangerous! When I began to really question him he became aggrementive and replied, Im giving you plenty of time to find something too do. Just unbelievable- everyone knows thats simply untrue!We are still waiting for the refund-If your celebrating a special event I would not depend on this company-

Exceeded my expectations! Equipment in excellent condition. Location and parking was very convenient. Pricing was within reason. Safe and well structured mini excursion. Our lead facilitator Brandon surprised me that he was not a Marine Biologist or Oceanographer. His knowledge and passion was evident in his presentations. He kept us informed and guided us in a professional and good natured manner. Highly recommend.

Our experience night kayaking with Brandon was exceptional. Brandon was so knowledgeable about the marine life and went out of his way to catch various creatures and allowed anyone who wanted to to see and touch them. It was a fun experience to kayak and see the sea floor come to life. Definitely a must do because it was a highlight of our trip!

Brandon was our tour guide this evening! What a great time! As a group of locals, let me tell you he was amazing! So knowledgeable and went out of his way to find creatures for us! He was patient with us when anyone went drifting off and kept us entertained the entire time! It was a great night out on the water! Highly recommend this adventure! Something different to do especially during these times when not much else it open. It’s a great way to recharge the mind! Add this to your must do list when visiting our little island! Book early as they do sell out!!! Thanks for a great night!

It was a very fun experience that I will never forget, Brandon the tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny and super nice! He caught a starfish, octopus, jellyfish, a lobster, a crab, and a sting gray for all of us to hold/ touch. It was amazing, a bit pricey but worth every penny! I would highly recommend it!

Peaceful to be on the water at night. We were in a glass bottom 2 man kayak with underwater lights. We saw several nurse sharks (one was at least 6 ft long). Our guide was chill and friendly. He caught and released starfish, jellyfish, and a moody hermit crab we could hold if we wanted. The moon was out and it was beautiful to be out there. The best part was coming across a manatee that let us visit for several minutes (didnt even know they moved around at night). Highly recommend. 🦀

Review №49

Found this tour online and wow! It did not disappoint! Upon arriving at the launch, we got to see the beautiful sunset as well as a huge manatee swimming directly under us on the dock. The kayaks were very clean, clear bottom & equipped with bright LED lights to illuminate the ocean below. On our tour we saw lobster, starfish, crab, a small shark, jellyfish, stingray & lots of fish. I’m not one to right reviews, but I highly recommend this excursion. Brandon, our tour guide was amazing. I would encourage the owners to set up a system where their tour guides can accept tips via VENMO. Great service deserves a great tip. No one carry’s cash anymore: Just sayin ;)

Ibis Bag Paddle Sports were a big part of the best of our vacation to Key West. They are located right at the front of Ibis Bay Resort. We rented scooters, jet skis and also went on the night time Kayak adventure. The staff are super friendly and the entire experiences with them were just great. Do the night time kayak, you will be saying it was the best experience of your life! The guide worked his butt off to make sure we were safe, and having a great time. He was very educated on the water in the Bay and all of its cool sea life. Great job!!

Review №53

This is by far one of my favorite things we’ve done in #KeyWest ! We had a awesome guide @nightkayakkeywest #CaptainBrandon . He did such a great job making us feel comfortable and talking to us about the the different sea creatures and mangrove trees. I highly recommend them to anyone who comes down here. We had a family of 7 and one was a heart patient who couldn’t get wet, a 7 year old who was overly critical and a 15 year old on the spectrum. So even with so many ranges in our group we all had a blast! They offer a military discount also so all my #militaryfamilies be sure to ask!

Highly recommend the night kayak. Brandon was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. Just the kayak experience alone is 5 stars. Seeing the night sea life takes it to a different level. We saw crabs, cucumber, jelly fish, ibis, pelican, octopus, lobster, shrimps, nurse sharks. Loved the drop. No regrets in signing up for this one.

We did the three hour private charter with Ibis Bay Paddle Sports and it was the best part of visiting Key West! The views cant be beat and having the boat to ourselves was definitely a unique experience. Pawel was awesome and showed us some great spots. He was very knowledgeable and created a great atmosphere for us to relax and enjoy our trip. We got to explore the mangroves on paddle boards and swim in the most amazing spots. Definitely worth the money and highly recommended!

I gotta say that it was definitely one of the most fun trips I have gone on with my buddies! The weather was not the best, I must say; yet Paul was still about to find a nice place to hangout and have a fire. Best and not least the environment is very friendly and you most certainly do not feel like you’re on a regular commercial fishing trip and its not just a planned fishing. It’s an open friendly environment with a great vib. Definitely going back

This was my fourth time staying at Ibis Bay Resort. The hotel/resort side of things is always fantastic. We werent able to rent water sport activities due to high winds. We rented bicycles instead and road them to Higgs Beach from the hotel. THAT was a workout due to the wind! The bicycles were nice beach cruising style bikes. Tires were filled. Chains were lubed. The sales person was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Bike return was as simple as it gets. Seeing Key West from a bicycle seat is a must!

Review №67

Based on others reviews, I suppose Im in the minority of rating this a not so great experience - but I mean, youre just not going to see anything of any significance unless a lobster, crab, or small squid astonishes you. Being out on the water in the evening is enjoyable, so adding a star for that. Maybe my expectations were too high, but seriously - youre gonna spend most of two hours staring at seaweed underneath your kayak. Wouldnt recommend.

Amazing place, amazing experience. My wife and I went on a cruise with Captain Paweł - we sincerely recommend :)Bicycle rental is on site, the best way to actively explore Key West. For lazy people there are scooters, and at night the plant specialty - kayaking with an illuminated transparent bottom - the only place on Key West where you can enjoy the undersea life in Florida at night.
