Night Kayak Tour St. John – Westin Resort

1.Night Kayak Tour St. John – Westin Resort

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,011 reviews · from $69Our pick

At the Westin St. John, you’ll add glow paint, pose for black-light photos, then paddle a two-person clear-bottom kayak through Chocolate Hole after dark. Guides such as Bernard, Sam, Fawn, Spencer, and Destin help you look for tarpon, baitfish, stingrays, and other marine life.

“This was a lot of fun but we were only on the water about 30 minutes - not 50. Saw only tarpon and ballyhoos but the guide tried hard. A neat experience but not worth the $69/each.”
