Great adventure! - This was an amazing tour through the mangroves where we got to experience the beauty of this particular ecosystem. Our guide, Rebecca, was very kind and knowledgeable, and was skilled at spotting wildlife. She also shared many wonderful photos with us and the other participants of the trip. I recommend lots of sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat, the sun is unforgiving!

Totally surprised at how fun it was! - Had the best time!! I wasn't sure if I would like it, I had never done that before and I was remarkably surprised at just how fun and adventurous it was! I had no idea that type of environment existed in the States. it was like I was in a foreign country. Rebekah and Leeanna were great! They knew a lot and kept the tour fun and interesting! Highly recommend!

Incredible - We had an absolute blast with Hatchett on the glass bottom kayak tour. I went with my partner and his daughter, we felt safe the entire time, saw a shark, a sea turtle, lots of fish and starfish, and my favorite part was gliding through the mangroves, pulling ourselves through the branches

A fun and informative experience! - Our kayaking tour in the Sugarloaf Keys with Rebecca was excellent. She was friendly, well-informed, and guided us safely through the mangroves. We saw small fish, starfish, lobsters, and even some sharks at the Marina. Rebecca also shared valuable insights into the local ecosystem and gave great recommendations for dining and activities in the Florida Keys. Highly recommended experience.
