Sea View Tours offers clear kayak island tours and rentals out of Caribe Marina in Orange Beach, Alabama, on the protected water just inside Perdido Pass. Daytime tours feature marine life viewing and scenic paddling, while night tours use neon glowing kayaks and include a “Crab Grab” experience at Bird Island. All tours are family-friendly and designed to be safe, eco-conscious, and memorable — that’s the company’s pitch, but the format backs it up: short, guided, and on calm water.
What you get
The kayaks are two-seaters with clear hulls, so you’re looking straight down at the bottom and whatever’s moving over it rather than at the side of a plastic boat. Tours run about an hour, which is the right length for kids who lose interest and adults who didn’t plan on a workout. The day tour is the wildlife-and-scenery version. After dark there are two options: a sunset paddle, and the Crab Grab, where guides take the group over to Bird Island — roughly 200 yards off the dock — and the lit-up kayaks turn the whole thing into something closer to a floating flashlight hunt. Beyond the tours, they also rent boats, paddleboards, and jet skis.
Who it’s for
Families with kids who are past the toddler stage, couples who want an evening activity that isn’t another bar, and anyone who has never kayaked and doesn’t want to start in the open Gulf. Confident paddlers looking for distance should rent instead of touring.
Before you book
Book online — the night slots are the popular ones in summer, and a one-hour tour fills fast. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet, bring a dry bag for the phone, and skip it if a storm is on the radar; check the beach report for the day’s conditions. The Perdido Pass marinas page covers the rest of what launches from this cluster.
