What To Expect
Kayakers will board their kayaks just prior to sunset, departing the marina towards the ocean just as the sun begins to create gradients of pink and orange in the sky. As you turn north into Tavernier Creek, you will definitely spot some of the Florida Key's stunning wildlife. You may even glide past a grazing manatee. After some paddling, you'll find yourself near the entrance of a thick mangrove forest; your tour guide will help you navigate through a narrow channel in the trees, highlighting various features of the natural ecosystem as you continue. Once dark enough, your tour guide will equip your kayak with a battery-powered LED light that illuminates the water below you. The light is typically green, enabling the greatest visibility for you while minimizing any input on marine life. Embrace the surreal experience as you continue to navigate the calm waters with the magical light glowing all around you. As you return to the marina, you'll also enjoy multi-colored lights in the man-made canal, turning your kayak tour into a dazzling night-parade.

5.00Jade was an incredible guide!! He was super knowledgeable about both the creatures on land and in the water. He was able to explain about the mangrove ecosystem. He took his time to point things out and make sure everyone saw things. He thought of everything and even had extra bug spray. I highly recommend this tour!
Loved it!

5.00MUST BOOK⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️this was the best kayaking experience my wife and I have ever gotten to enjoy together. It’s really the company you’re in that makes any experience really great and Jade is an extremely knowledgeable, personable, and welcoming guide that is perfect for this trip. He’s an expert in his craft and guides you wonderfully through the area giving you a ton of insight and history unlike any other guide out there. Words cannot explain how much I would highly recommend this guide, perfect for any family, friends, or relationships/couples passing through this beautiful area of the keys.
Great experience!!

5.00This was an amazing trip in the evening through the mangroves. And the lighted return trip was the best part! We saw Sharks, Tarpon, Manatees (Special treat), Crabs, Lobster, Jellyfish and lots of other fish and birds! I highly recommended this trip.
