You will love it!! - Our guide Heather is amazing!! She was very knowledgeable on the ecosystem and took her time paddling us through the mangroves. We were never rushed so if you feel uncomfortable in a kayak, they are very patient and helpful. I would definitely recommend this kayaking experience to anyone.

Great Tour - Had an awesome time on this tour! Our guide was informative, safety conscious, and friendly. We have been to KW many times and this was our first kayak tour - it was really an awesome time out on the water. Felt like we saw a different side of the island.

Fun time had by all!! - We had a great time at Lazy Dog! Our guide, Rachael, was wonderful. She was informative and funny. She had a very relaxed/comfortable style. I have lived in Florida my whole life and learned many things I didn't know. We saw a manatee, sharks, Jellyfish and of course, lots of birds. It was a great adventure, and the excursion was a good length. Not too short and not too long. Highly recommend!

Great experience! We got... - Great experience! We got to see all sorts of critters - snakes, slugs, crabs, jellyfish, etc. We used a tandem kayak and it wasn't too challenging. The guide warned us it was a strong tide day but it still wasn't too difficult - great for relationship building!

Absolutely do it!!!! - This was an awesome and informative tour that showed a completely unique side of key west. Kayaking through the mangroves makes you feel like Tarzan (you’ll have to book it to find out why!) Our tour guide was informative and fun, his name was John. The wildlife we saw was incredible too! Absolutely recommend checking out this tour. WEAR SUNSCREEN! My legs were cooked.

A really fun time - made us really appreciate this ecosystem - This was an excellent experience! we are not very experienced kayakers, but our guide, Rachel, did a fantastic job of supporting and encouraging about 15 paddlers. She also stressed the significance of the Key West. Mangrove habitat it was. especially cool that we spotted manatees and sharks A highly recommended eco tour!
