Great Kayak rental! - We rented kayaks for a two hour tour of the Key’s inner ecosystem. Kayaks were top quality recreational models (The Pungo!), paddles were graphite handles, PFDs with whistles (minimum required safety equipment) were issued. The boats displayed the Vessel Safety Check sticker of either the Coast Guard Auxiliary or Power Squadron. Safety is built in to their system. The paddling, itself, was awesome. We saw sharks and manatee in the harbor - and a dozen or more other species of fish when we paddled the mangrove passages and backwaters. We were never crowded or pestered and we were able to take our time looking for critters.

What an experience! - Our experience on and off the kyacks was exceptional. Your courteous and helpful staff made the trip to this beautiful area even better. While kayaking on our own through mangrove trees, we saw plenty of wildlife: crab, starfish, and nurse sharks, to name a few!

Natural beauty - I think the eco tour is the way to go especially if you get tripped up easily on directions. We got a little list in the mangroves even with a map. No markers anywhere do a your guide is helpful. The ladies are really nice that work here and we still got to see a shark, manatee and a bunch of really cool jellyfish!

Friendly and accommodating staff - The Lazy Dog Adventure staff was very friendly and accommodating. We arrived on time for our 11pm half day kayak rental (meaning we’d have up to 3pm to return), but one of our party members was 30 minutes late because he was getting sandwiches for us to eat lunch out in the water. The staff told us it was fine and even said we can be out until around 4:30pm so it felt like we lost no time :). The routes were explained very clearly and we were given a laminated map for us to keep during the trip. The actual kayaking paths were really engaging too! The mangroves next to the canal were really fun to navigate through. We had a high tide that day, so lots of ducking under trees and tight passageways. Highly recommend anyone interested in exploring the mangroves to book with Lazy Dog.

Self guided tour easy - It was easy to navigate. We are early 50s and very easy to handle. We did the two hour tour, which was plenty they give you a map as we selected self guided. We seen mangrove crabs a nurse shark someone nearby saw a manatee as well as some sort of pink snake.
