Kayaking at it's best! - Terrific kayaking tour! Do not miss the opportunity to kayak with Heather G. We learned a lot about the ecosystem of the Florida Keys. It was a relaxing and very pleasant experience.

Nice tour, knowledgeable guide - We had fun on the kayak tour. It was interesting to learn more about the ecosystem and get to see some marine life up close. Sadly we did not see any manatees or sharks. The guide was very enthusiastic and engaging.

Amazing tour!! Thank you Brett!! 🫶🏽 - Brett was awesome!! Very fun tour and educational!! He’s very funny and friendly and gave us a great tour. It was our first time kayaking and doing this tour, so he made us very comfortable and we enjoyed every moment. Even with all the times we crashed into the mangroves he came to our rescue lol

Navigating the mangrove... - Navigating the mangrove tunnels with paddles was a learning experience and knocked our confidence/cockiness down a few pegs. So glad we were guided as I could see us getting hopelessly lost if in our own.. Leah was fantastic, she made it fun, she knew and taught us so much, she was responsible, she kept us together and even took a lost paddler under her wing and reunited her with her tour group.

Ho hum experience. - The experience was good but not great. My wife and I are experienced kayakers and this trip had some customers who had never kayaked before. That slowed the group down but we still had mostly a positive experience. The guide that led the group was experienced and had good info on local nature and ecology. But she often talked when the group was somewhat spread out so unless you were close to her when she was talking, you missed much of what she was saying. The other negative (not her fault) was that the location is on the outskirts of Key West and starts right next to the highway and is a very noisy area and you regularly hear jets taking off or landing from the Key West airport that is very close. We thought the price at $70 per person was overpriced for the experience. For experienced kayakers who want a quieter experience, go somewhere more remote from a busy area and rent your own kayaks. My score is really a 3.5 out of 5.
