5.00My wife and I had a wonderful time on the eco tour. Brett was an excellent guide with plenty of knowledge about the ecosystem around the mangroves. You can tell that this crew has a deep respect for the fragile biome they tour through. He told us of how important and delicate the mangroves are why they are as well. We had an excellent time, we were able to see a few nurse sharks, lots of juvenile jellyfish and even an eagle ray. It was a joy to be able to see this beautiful ecosystem up close and personal. Shout out to Brett and the Lazy Dog crew they are doing it the right way!

5.00Had an amazing kayaking Eco tour at Lazy Dog on a beautiful Key West morning. Highly recommend doing this! Not only do you get a great kayak trip, you get a lot of information about the mangroves, the wildlife, and why they are so important to the health of the island. Our guide, Rachel, was amazing and really knew her stuff. There are two Rachels, we had the taller Rachel, but both Rachels are amazing!
