Fear turned FUN!! - I am 1000% afraid of water, but Sarah was AMAZING!! She helped me calm my fear and I was able to have a great time on the tour! She partnered me with Andrew and he was also amazing, keeping me chill while showing me how to paddle. I will definitely book again with Sarah as my guide.

Worth the time and effort - We had a wonderful time! Heidi was very knowledgeable and patient with our lack of skill. We found it very peaceful in the mangroves.

Kayaking Tour Adventure - Had a great experience with Sara! She was very knowledgeable and informative, and safety was clearly a top priority the entire time. The small group setting was perfect, and she was professional while still being very personable with everyone. Everything was well organized and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Must have mini adventure! - My 9 year old son and I had our own kayak. Heidi helped us through the mangrove tunnels and pointed out all the sea creatures to see! Heidi was a fantastic guide, we felt safe and informed and had a lot of fun. Bring your water and apply sunscreen! We saw nurse sharks, starfish, pelicans and iguanas. Beautiful ecosystem at work!

Away from the crowds - It was a fun experience. The group was small because this is about a 20 minute drive from Key West. So this is not as touristy and busy. The nature was beautiful. The guide took lots of photos for us.

Great tour. - Great tour. Stacy was very informative and friendly and worked very hard so that we could see wildlife. Tour is very physical so keep that in mind. Pretty good for beginners. Water is shallow. Didn’t see sharks but saw iguana starfish stingray and other fish.

Do it! - Highly recommend glass bottom kayaking if you want to be able to see everything around and below you. Our guide Stacy made sure our experience was memorable, she took us to the best spots to see sharks and corals and sponges, gave great restaurant recommendations, she was incredibly funny and personable. Cannot recommend enough!
