The night kayak tour at Frenchman's Reef is the most reviewed tour in the US Virgin Islands, an hour in a clear kayak lit from below over water that glows when you paddle. We picked 4 night kayak tours by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is the Elysian resort version from €59 per person; the St John departure runs from the Westin dock for guests staying across the water.
These are short tours, under an hour on the water, in tandem kayaks on a sheltered bay, so no paddling experience is needed and children ride with an adult. The glow depends on darkness: nights around the full moon are dimmer, and operators say so but do not refund for it. Departures are timed after sunset and run in light rain. Hotel guests walk to the dock; everyone else needs a taxi to the resort. The best reviewed St Thomas night kayak tours come first below.
