"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!"

"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!"

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ADVENTURE
Have you always dreamed of kayaking at night, on a wave of light?
Do you yearn for a different kind of adventure? One where you are immersed in the ethereal experience of being surrounded by nothing but water, nature, and your fellow explorers?
Have you ever been so close to dolphins that you were sure they were playing with you?
Have you ever been on a wildlife tour where a fish literally jumped right into your lap?
The GlowRow lighted kayak experience is something so different that it’s hard to explain. It’s not for everyone, but everyone that joins us has a story to tell by the end of the night!
FOR ENTHUSIASTS OF ALL TYPES
GlowRow is dedicated to introducing natives and tourists alike to the wonders of Aquatic Nightlife by the light of the moon and stars. We even know a few constellations, like the three stars right in a line. That’s Orion’s belt, we know that thanks to “Men in Black”.
Join one of our experienced guides for a tour of one of our many locations and get a new perspective on our coastal waterways.
This adventure is perfect for nature enthusiasts, water lovers, kayak lovers, and anyone that could use something different to spice up their life!
You’ll possibly see some of the local wildlife and learn things you never knew about each location as you paddle within feet of flounder, stingrays, and maybe even dolphins.
There is never a dull moment on a GlowRow® tour, and our goal is to leave you with a magical experience that will keep you coming back to try our other kayak trails!
