Additional Information

A half-day kayak hire offers an opportunity to independently traverse the serene and crystal-clear waters that sit between Stock Island and Key West, all from the convenience of your individual or two-seater kayak (reserve per individual, not per kayak). Sail over underwater vegetation and navigate through mangrove passages while observing aquatic creatures such as fish, birds, sharks, rays, and possibly even a manatee. It’s a perfect activity for all paddling skill levels, however, all participants must possess swimming skills.

A Fun Exploration - We had a great time exploring the mangroves, even the really small tunnels. We were given a map and explored on our own. The staff was friendly and helpful. Next time I would love to do the tour and have a guide to explain the area.

Great solo paddle experience. - Great day! The mangrove tunnels and salt ponds were so worth it! Saw starfish, manatees, horseshoe crabs, jellyfish, and lots of fish. Don’t skip trip 2! Directions and map from staff helped a lot.

First Time - Kayaking thru the mangroves was a first for us. It was a little difficult to maneuver but we made it!

Best experience & lots of wildlife! - Super great experience at Lazy Dog! How good? I bought a t-shirt. :-) The guy checking us in was really thorough about showing us the map since we weren’t going on a guided tour. He didn’t pressure us to do the tour, was totally cool with us doing our own thing and showed us on the map (which is laminated so you can take it) where good spots were. They were awesome about letting us put our food behind the counter (we had yummy leftovers from Kim’s Kuban) and really just did everything to make things nice and easy for us. Our time on the water was beyond memorable. A pod of manatees swam right under us. (I was on a standup paddle board, husband was in a kayak.) We saw water birds hunting in the mangroves, multiple iguanas, little fish, and other wildlife. Friendly people, excellent prices (their half day rate was the hourly rate for another place nearby) and well worth ubering over to rent from them. Thanks, Lazy Dog!

Lazy Dog Rocks - Arrival, set up and getting out on the water was a super seamless process as was coming back in. The maps were great as a guide and I enjoyed kayaking through the mangroves and being out on the water. Had a great time and I'll definitely book with Lazy Dog again on my next visit. Thanks much, Helena
