"It is the perfect date night atmosphere; we left the kiddos at home... it was magical under the star’s small plastic bottle of wine in hand and simply living in the moment of the magic. I couldn’t have had a more perfect night for someone like myself that loves the water.”

"This nighttime kayak adventure was so fun! My husband and I have kayaked quite a bit in the Pacific Northwest, so the thought of night kayaking in warm waters was intriguing. GlowRow for the win! The equipment was amazing and the guide/owner did a great job. Thank you for an awesome paddle!"

Joyce

     

"My wife and I had an awesome date night! The instructor was friendly and amazing!"

Fernando

     

"Glow Row is great!! The guides help us navigate through the bay area, pointing out sealife and various birds. They both were knowledgeable and answered the variety of questions. I would recommend this tour to new comers and vacationers."

Yvonne

     

"We had a great time at the Port Aransas GlowRow last week! Fish were trying to jump in our boats! It was beautiful being on the water at night with the stars and just a few clouds. A really fun experience seeing the fish under and around our boats. A truly enjoyable experience!"

THE WILDLIFE

No, this is not seeing what “wildlife” is going to the local pub. In fact, there’s nothing quite like exploring the inlets and bays of the Gulf in clear kayaks with the water and seafloor below you illuminated clear as day. You have the possibility of seeing numerous types of fish, crustaceans, birds, and, in some locations, curious submerged man-made objects. Any treasure hunters out there?

THE EXPERIENCE

Our tours are not just a fun way to cruise a kayak in style, they’re a great way to learn more about the area, the environment, and perhaps even yourself. There’s something relaxing and even ethereal about being in the middle of the water when it’s pitch black with fish, crustaceans, and birds all around… then you hear a dolphin breach and take a breath. Time to give chase! It truly is a magical experience that never gets old!

THE GEAR

Our completely see through kayaks are equipped with a single proprietary light system called ‘GlowRow 3.0’ Lighting that allow each kayak to choose their favorite color (or carousel of colors). This new lighting system is specific to GlowRow ®, found no where else and emits a whopping 20,000 lumens so you can be sure not to miss that stingray, it’s all part of the adventure!

When you rent a kayak for one of our tours, you can rest assured that you will be both entertained, fulfilled, and completely safe for the entirety of your glowing adventure. You will be provided with a life jacket, safety flash light, emergency whistle, and an experience that you won’t soon forget. Each vessel has a yearly certificate of inspection and 360° all around white visibility light. We carry flare kits and an electric torch with two-mile visibility. Our audio distress signals satisfy requirements by a factor of two and our visual distress signals satisfy requirements by a factor of four.

Needless to say, we take your safety very seriously. Our gear and operations are compliant with both Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and United States Coast Guard regulations and best practices. We are the only clear kayak tour company in Texas that can say that!

THE PEOPLE

If you think you’re excited to go on a glowing kayak tour at night, you should see our staff. You won’t find anyone more dedicated, knowledgeable, or friendly - they love what they do, and they love making sure you have an amazing trip! Having grown up on the coast, they also know all the best spots to find the coolest sights and you might be surprised at some of the things you might learn from them on your trip. Who knows, you might even get some new dad jokes added to your repertoire! And if you’re lucky, you might even have a fish jump into the boat with you for a photo opportunity! Everyone has seen the movie "Finding Nemo" please be sure to return them. We like to think of our tours as an adult floating classroom, to educate as many individuals as we can about nocturnal marine life in a fun and active atmosphere.

THE LOCATIONS

We have lighted kayak tours in multiple locations, including Port O'Connor, Rockport, Port Aransas, and North Padre Island, with many additional expansions in the works. Check back often to see what we’re up to and where we’re glowing near you! And if you have an interesting kayaking trail or location we should check out, please let us know!
