Q&A

Q: What time do the glow tours usually start, and how long do they last?

A: Great question! The glow tours typically start around sunset, so it varies depending on the season. They usually last about 2 hours once you're on the water. It's really magical being out there at night under the stars!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join us on the glow tour?

A: Yes, the glow tours are really geared towards those who are 21 and older since you're allowed to bring beverages. However, some families do bring older teens. Just check with Paddle SMTX when booking to see if they can accommodate younger participants on specific tours.

Q: What should I wear for the glow kayak tour? Is it chilly at night?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get a bit chilly once the sun goes down. I’d recommend quick-drying clothes and maybe a light jacket. Also, wear water shoes or sandals that you don’t mind getting wet. Trust me, you'll want to be comfortable!

I’m planning to gift the Crystal Kayak Glow Tour to my boyfriend for his birthday. He loves outdoor activities, and I thought this would be a unique experience! Any tips on what to expect, or should I pack anything special? Also, how romantic is it at night? Thanks!

Just did the Crystal Kayak Glow Tour and it was amazing!

I just got back from the Crystal Kayak Glow Tour on the San Marcos River and wow, what an experience! The LED lights are so cool, and seeing the fish under the water was surreal. Our guide was super friendly and shared a lot of interesting facts about the river. If you're thinking about it, just do it! Bring some drinks, but leave the glass at home. Totally recommend it!
