We recommend 💯 - This was a wonderful experience and we learned a lot from Jade! We would highly recommend taking this kayak trip with him. It was so much more having a guide than going on our own!

The Perfect Kayak Tour - We had the best time kayaking with Jade. He has this down to a fine art. So relaxing and enjoyable with the occasional current to row against but nothing we 58 year olds couldn’t handle. lol His sister, Lily, was along as a trainee and she is going to make an awesome guide as well. She is so fun and adventurous! Thank you, Jade and Lily, for an amazing few hours!🌴❤️🌴

Great value great trip - Good time with Jade and Lilly. We saw other groups that didn’t go as far in as we did to see larger lagoons. Good conversation and value. Would be great for kids or any age

Awesome mangrove kayaking experience - Our group of 6 did a kayaking mangrove adventure and absolutely loved it. Jade was extremely personable and friendly. The 3 hrs went by quickly Jade made sure to give us safety tips throughout the trip. He was very knowledgeable of the area, fauna and flora. He was attentive to our younger ones and helped them navigate through the more challenging areas. This was my favorite experience as a family during our Florida Keys vacation. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back again.

Great Kayaking Experience - From the moment we arrived, Jade was so kind and professional. My parents and I were first-time kayakers, and Jade was very patient with us throughout the whole tour. He is quite knowledgeable about the various wildlife in the area and shared a lot of interesting information about the mangrove ecosystem. After getting past the canal, the route we took through the mangroves was so beautiful and peaceful. Anyone looking to kayak in the Keys should definitely do it with Jade!

Perfect morning - This was a fantastic kayak trip. Jade was a wealth of knowledge, an expert guide, and prepared. , He even gave us several lunch recommendations when we asked and his top pick was perfect for us. While we’ve kayaked several times, this was our first through the mangroves and it was just beautiful. He took us deeper through (past where other kayak trips turn around) and that was the best part. Highly recommend this kayak tour for anyone visiting the keys.

Paddling and Monkey-Barring - Atticus was very friendly and knowledgeable. Taught us what to do and how to navigate the mangrove creek by paddle as well as by “monkey-barring” the trees limbs. Went further than other tours and got to a peaceful lagoon with jellyfish all over the place. This was certainly a workout, but we had great time.
