About this Event
NIGHT SNORKEL ADVENTURE
Explore the Reef After Dark!
Saturday, November 28, 2026 | Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida
Have you ever wondered what happens beneath the ocean's surface after the sun goes down?
As daylight fades, an entirely different underwater world begins to awaken!
Join Sunrise Paddleboards for an extraordinary guided night snorkeling adventure along the beautiful reefs of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Armed with underwater flashlights, you'll explore the reef after dark, discover fascinating marine life, and experience the ocean from a completely different perspective.
WHAT MAKES NIGHT SNORKELING SPECIAL?
The reef transforms after sunset. Some daytime creatures settle into their nighttime resting places while others emerge to explore, feed, and hunt.
Keep your eyes open for:
- Spiny lobsters emerging from their hiding places.
- Octopuses exploring the reef after dark.
- Crabs and other nocturnal creatures becoming more active.
- Sleeping reef fish tucked into protected spaces.
- Colorful corals and marine formations illuminated by your underwater flashlight.
Marine life sightings are never guaranteed, but every nighttime exploration offers something new.
