Top Florida Kayaking Tours

Kayaking in Key Largo was a great experience. We went specifically hoping to spot manatees, but unfortunately we didn’t see any during our trip. That said, the guides were friendly, safety-focused, and explained what to look for and why conditions can affect sightings. The paddle itself was beautiful—quiet water, great scenery, and a relaxing way to spend time out on the bay. Even without manatees, it felt like a fun, worthwhile outing. We did see some dolphins at the end of our trip.

My daughters (26 and 24) neice (13) and I were SO excited to wrap up our week in Florida at Three Sister Springs....but Mother Nature had other plans. We went out on the water because we expected the rain yo come down hard for 10 minutes and then clear out (typical Florida weather) but we ended up sitting under a bridge for about 30 minutes before just calling it because the lightning and thunder wasn't letting up. The reason for thr 5 stars? Booking was easy, The price was fair, We were running late but they still worked with us, Our guide, Ms. Jax I believe, was wonderful, They sent someone out to 'rescue' us so we didny have yo choose between paddling back or staying under the bridge waiting for the weather to clear, They offered other times or extended time (we couldnt, we had a BBQ to get to and were hitting the road back to Alabama the next morning), I asked for a discount but they reached out to Viator to refund us. The 5 stars is because the experience OUTSIDE of the weather (which they could not control) was great enough that as we were driving away, looking like drowned rats, all 4 of us said our FIRST stop when we come back to Florida will be Crystal River to go clear kayaking!

A true Key West Island experience! A must do for any nature and water lover. It was like having a private island all to ourselves. Went kayaking near the mangroves, and went swimming in the warmest most beautiful water. Food, cocktails, and music were an added bonus. Captain Jude and Mate Allie took great care of us. We loved it so much we’re going back tomorrow!

Lillie was an excellent guide. She was very patient with our group of inexperienced kayakers, including young kids. It was leisurely, pleasant, and beautiful. The Three Sisters with crystal clear water was the best part. We saw lots of wildlife along the way including a young manatee even though it's off season.

Our guide was very good, minded our safety and very informative. Jo-on ( not sure how to spell his name). We didn't see manatees or dolphins on that particular morning, but that is nature. The weather and scenery more than made up for it. Leisurely pace, good for generally decent fitness.

What a fantastic experience to begin our vacation in The Keys. Steven was a wonderful guide who’s passionate about nature. He’s very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and spent time showing our group how to kayak. This is good for first time kayakers in the Keys. Thank you Steven for a wonderful, peaceful morning!

Amazing to see up close, but there was silt and other things floating making some of them had to see. We were not supposed to touch them, but they would rub against you, or float up under you, lifting you up, not out of the water, but you felt yourself rising up. Took a little time to get used to putting your face in the water, and breathing through the tube, but you were in long enough time to feel comfortable if it's your first time. You can hear people and your guide talking to you, warning me that one was coming very close, so close I was looking into its eye.
