About the Tour

In Ken Thompson Park (Night) Adventure you will be out into the darkness, with the glow of the LED lights beneath you. Take in the sounds of the Sarasota Bay while checking out the water below your clear kayak. You’ll hear fish jumping around you, see some sea grass below you, and feel the relaxing ocean air while paddling through Sarasota Bay. Your tour guide will lead the way during the Tour, where you can paddle your kayak through mangrove paths. Experience the ambiance created by the soft color of the LED glow lights on the incredible overhead formation of the mangroves. Along the way, your guide will use their headlamp to point out some of the finer details and illuminate the way.
