Explore This Florida Bay Like Never Before In A Glass-Bottom Kayak

Experience Florida's marine life with Glass Bottom Kayaks in Boca Grande, offering clear kayaks and LED night paddles.

Listen, regular ol’ kayaks are cool and all, especially when you visit places like the kayak park in Weeki Wachee Springs. However, we’re about to level up your kayak experience with an even better way to explore the crystal clear waters in Florida. Who’s ready for a glass bottom kayak adventure to elevate your next weekend away?

One of the coolest tours you can take in Florida comes out of Boca Grande and involves a glass bottom kayak that lets you see straight down to the bottom of the ocean.

Unlike any other kayak you’ve ever experienced, the clear kayaks make for the best way to see all the ocean life without disturbing their habitat.

Through the company Glass Bottom Kayaks, guests can rent a glass-bottomed kayak which can fit up to two people comfortably to take out through the Boca Grande area.

Seasonal rates are reasonable for these adventure kayaks ranging from $45 for a single person for two hours to $105 for two people for six hours.

Guests to Glass Bottom Kayaks also have the option to take a tour, too, and explore the island while simultaneously learning about the local marine life.

The tours last around two hours and do require a reservation in order to participate.

Or, for those looking to add a little light to the adventure, the LED Night Paddle excursions are illuminating, to say the least.

Paddle around the cove and see what the marine life is up to after dark, while the kayaks are lit up with neon LED lights.

It doesn’t matter your age or your ability level, Glass Bottom Kayaks is the place to visit for an epic day out on the water.
