Don’t Miss Lazy Dog Eco Kayak Tour!! - This is an amazing experience! It is beautiful and our guide, Ellyn, was awesome! We saw manatee, learned so much about the plants, birds, fish and history! We tried sea grapes and mangrove pods, touched jelly fish and lettuce slugs! Ellyn is so professional and knowledgeable! She obviously loves her job and shows that with her passion and positive energy!

I must do on your Key West trip!! - I had an amazing time with Lazy Dog Adventures on the Mangrove Eco Kayak Adventure. Our guide, Bethany, was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She was patient, kind, and you could tell she truly enjoys her job, which made the trip even better. The tour was great for all skill levels; we saw plenty of marine life, including several nurse sharks, and kayaking through the mangroves was so much fun. Overall, a five-star experience, and Bethany made it unforgettable!

Fun, Educational Kayak Tour Through the Mangroves - We had a great time on our mangrove kayak tour with Heather! She was a knowledgeable and fun guide, showing us a variety of sea creatures—including a manatee—and explaining the vital role mangroves and marine life play in Key West’s ecosystem. It was both fun and fascinating, and a unique way to explore the area.
