LED Glow in the Dark Clear Kayak or Paddleboard in Paradise
Overview
This experience combines vibrant LED under-glow lighting with calm urban waters, creating one of Orlando’s most unique nighttime adventures. Launching from Lake Ivanhoe just north of downtown, you’ll paddle in a setting where glowing water meets city skyline reflections.
Unlike typical night tours, the clear kayaks and boards allow you to see the illuminated water directly beneath you, enhancing the after-dark atmosphere without overwhelming the natural setting. The lake’s no-current, no-boat-traffic, and no-alligator environment makes it especially comfortable for beginners.
Your guide provides a brief lesson before departure and stays nearby throughout the tour, ensuring a relaxed and supportive experience. Complimentary photos are included so you can capture the glow.
After your paddle, continue the evening in Ivanhoe Village, with walkable restaurants and lakeside green space just steps from the launch point.
What's Included
- Dry Bag for Phone and Keys
- Bottled water
- Gratuity for your guide(s)(suggested 20%, a good time $10 per person, amazing time $20 per person)
