Excellent experience in beautiful, serene mangrove canals with crystal clear water. Our guide, Joejoe was very knowledgeable and committed to teaching us about the fish, flora and crustaceans, even picking up a barracuda to show us its' teeth. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the tour itself! Pretty easy paddling, great views of wildlife and fun navigating through the mangrove tunnels. On the way back though (this is too crazy/funny to make up), the tour guide, who was born and raised in the Keys, turned off the route because he wanted to show us his “neighborhood”. The kid was eccentric as it is, I’ll leave it at that. He started towing the bus and kayaks through a suburb area saying things like “and I lived in this house; it’s pretty nice it has a hot tub”, “my dad built this house over here” etc. just totally serious as if everyone wanted to know, which I thought was hilarious so I was rolling with it. Everyone ok the bus was trying not to burst out laughing at the poor kid. Then, he pulled up to his mom’s house and said “and this is where the water broke” (he was born in the Keys, remember) and invited us to come inside and see the INSIDE of the house. At that point unfortunately I had to burst his little bubble and say that as cool as it was seeing where his mother’s water broke the day of his birth, we were all ready to head back to the kayak shop.

Relaxing, safe and informative. Our guide, Beca, had good control of the group and as a marine biologist a deep understanding of the history and importance of the ecological system of the mangroves. We used tandem kayaks and it was better as one took take breaks and just be an outlook for wildlife. We did see mantees up close.

We got lucky both with a small group and an OUTSTANDING tour guide! Joe-Joe is a lifelong resident and was very knowledgeable about the area and even more personable! It was a little cool on the day we went which kept the wildlife viewing a little limited but still a great time!

Great experience, paddling through the Mangroves and learning about the ecosystem was fantastic. The equipment is ready for an upgrade, especially the life preservers and transportation.

My daughter and I took this tour as we both wanted some time on the water, in kayaks. We were not disappointed. The itinerary and timetable were clearly communicated; our guide (Fitz) was well versed in both the area we were kayaking as well as Key Largo and surrounds. He was personable, helpful, and obviously enjoyed meeting and getting to know the people he was guiding. Water was provided before we left from the meeting place, and snacks offered for our time on the water. Once we came out of the water, towels for drying and wet cloths for cleaning our feet and legs were also provided. While the manatees were shy on this particular day, we did see a pair of mating ospreys, local jellyfish 'sunning' themselves in a shallower pool within the mangroves, and lots of fish. Ultimately, just being out on the water, in a purposeful but relaxing manner, was the best part of the day. Highly recommend both this particular tour as well as the provider. A highlight of our visit to the Keys! Thank you!
