Great staff, very friendly. Loved the self-guided trip, we took our time. The map is straightforward and like our guide said, you can't really get lost. The mangrove trails were really unique and beautiful, as was the salt water lagoon. We really loved kayaking through the blue waters of the intercoastal, it was a big push against the wind but we made it! Definitely bring some good polarized glasses to see all the wildlife. Looking forward to coming back for more kayaking.

Kayaking the Keys

Staci_C, Jan 2025
We had a blast using these kayaks to paddle around the canals and mangroves! Hopefully another time (when it’s less windy) we can try out the SUPs and go out to the island. This was also our first encounter with manatees and it did not disappoint!!!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for the review! We are stoked to hear that you had a blast paddling with us and got to encounter manatees for the first time with us! We would love to welcome you back on a less windy day to try out Paddleboarding, it's a blast! Thanks again for the review and we hope to welcome you back in the future for another paddling adventure!

You can't beat the price!!

Bruce_D, Aug 2024
$43 for all you can paddle (up to 7 hrs). It doesn't get any better than that!! You can go alone or schedule a guide. It's up to you. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the day rental. We hope to see you back on the water soon!

Kayaking in Tavernier

Brian_W, Mar 2024
Did the all day rental, but only spent about 2.5 hours in the water. We saw lots of fish, a juvenile manatee, a couple of rays, jelly fish, and several species of birds. Great family activity. Both of my kids, 12 (M), and 15 (F), had a good time.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had a great time during your kayaking adventure.

Fun day !

Cathy_L, Mar 2024
A fun day making our way through the mangroves to the secret lagoon. Easy paddle, loved seeing the birds as we headed into the mangrove.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you Cathy for your review! We are happy to hear that you had a great day paddling with us. If you are ever back in the area we would be happy to host you again!

Amazing staff and experience

Andrew_M, Aug 2023
Me and friends had a great time! It’s my 3rd time coming and I’ll definitely will be back ,the staff is always polite and quick with getting up ready and out in the water for some fun! Definitely has become one of my go to activities to do with the friends! Amazing time!

Awesome experience!

Emily_B, Jun 2023
We loved being able to rent the kayaks for the day and explore on our own. I’m sure the tours were excellent but we really enjoyed being able to go at our own pace. The staff was friendly and helpful before heading out. The mangrove tunnels were a unique experience that we won’t forget! We saw some cool fish and jellies along the way. We also went out to the island, which was lovely. 100% would recommend.

The guys at the location...

Rebecca_W, May 2023
The guys at the location were so nice and very helpful easy to make reservations and kayaks were easy to launch as well .

Was very enjoyable…didn’t...

Michelle_W, Apr 2023
Was very enjoyable…didn’t see any manatees but it was still worth it. Make sure to get a paddle that comes apart…you will need only have of a kayak paddle in the mangrove tunnels. We didn’t get one and it made navigating difficult.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Mitchell- we are so glad you enjoyed your Kayak rental. It does get tight in the mangroves but something we suggest is putting the paddle down and doing the "Tarzan" by maneuvering with your hands pulling you along- it's super fun and so unique to the mangrove tunnel! We really appreciate you leaving a positive review!

Great day with my wife in the double kayak

dave_s, Mar 2023
We did the self-guided tour. I would highly recommend this with your significant other! Take the day and do both the groves and island.

beautiful experience

Sally_M, Jan 2023
loved the low reaching branches on the way to the lagoon. super beautiful and fun to glide through. saw a manatee too! they’re huge & adorable

Great family outing

Mary_M, Nov 2022
Enjoyed the day exploring. They did a good job providing guidance on where to explore on own. Enjoyed the self guided touring. Great little restaurant right there to grab food and venture back out after.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Mary- thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you chose us! Hope to see you again in the future.

Must do while in the Keys.

Jen_F, Jun 2022
Fun experience. Highly recommend this while visiting the Keys. Very easy to make reservations although really didn’t need one.

Bucket list

Mary_K, Apr 2022
This was exactly what we wanted/hoped for. We delighted at seeing a manatee and no mosquitoes, We did go to the island to swim a bit.

Great adventure

Craig_S, Mar 2022
Very fun! We chose to go deep in the mangroves where paddle use was not an option! Used our hands to pull and push our way thru the mangroves.

Great day!!

Lynn_N, Mar 2022
Trip was the perfect distance. Didn’t see a ton of wildlife but Loved going thru the canopies! Had a lot of fun. Beautiful day.

Interesting mangrove trail

Kassandre_D, Feb 2022
Enjoyed this activity while taking in the beautiful island that surrounded us. The area we rode in was open with broad range and had 2 exploring areas along the trail. Trail was long and took us about 3 hours to explore the mangroves on our own. We loved that we were not rushed and were able to rent the kayaks for the day without being expected to return at a set time. Just FYI the path can be a bit tedious as there are lots of vegetation and mangroves along the creeks and you need to have patience to get through the trail...the trail is lengthy and the tides were a bit strong in certain areas, dress lightly, and pack your own water to bring with. This was an interesting experience overall and I highly recommend this activity if coming down to the keys!

Fun day in the Mangroves

Shelly_C, Jan 2022
We rented 2 kayaks and 2 paddleboards. This was a fun day because the mangrove tunnel was low and we had to use our hands to propel us through the tunnel instead of our paddles. It was something different. The only disappointing thing was the lack of wildlife. We would do this again!

Manatee sighting

Johnsons, Jan 2022
We paid extra from this offer 20 buck each and got an guided tour with Keith and he was great and patient with us .. we got to see a manatee and her calf … got really close to them

Logistics were simple,...

Robert_G, Dec 2021
Logistics were simple, and having freedom without a schedule was great. Mangroves were amazing and quite an adventure. Recommend to anyone wanting a unique activity

Cool experience

Amy_B, Aug 2021
Awesome mangroves to explore and really fun small island to paddle to. Would do it again! Only bummer was that we got there on time and the staff wasn’t there yet so we waited in our car.

Five Stars!

Chase, Aug 2021
We found this to be the most relaxing and peaceful activity of our Keys vacation. Kayaks, PFDs, and paddles were clean and in good condition. Staff were friendly and gave solid advice on how to best enjoy the mangroves and other places. Highly recommended.

Fun!

LadyJane_P, Jul 2021
Beautiful! Incredible trek through the mangrove. Lots of fun and beautiful fish and birds to see! So exciting that we made it to the wonderful lagoon!

So much fun

Gerald_B, May 2021
Great time with great employees. I would definitely recommend this place. Going through the mangroves was a blast

Highly Suggested

Jared_C, Apr 2021
It was the best thing I booked in florida through your site It was a beautiful paddle but beware some areas are very tight to kayak through but WELL WORTH IT the jelly fish lagoon was so neat

Awesome!

Celeste_K, Mar 2021
We did both the creek and the ocean which has amazing scenery up close. Great experience all around. I was late for my scheduled time and they still accommodated us. It definitely was a “no worry be happy moment”!

Fabulous nature. Very cool check in guy.

kelly_j, Nov 2020
The nature of this kayak tour was absolutely fabulous. We had seen sharks Manatee and so many other types of fish. You can even Kayak out to a small island and sit on the swing. Highly recommended. The chicken guy at the store was incredibly nice, however I am so glad we did not take the actual tour and we have done our own thing because the woman who was the tour guide on one hand was very helpful but on the other hand was very rude. If we hadn’t already purchased our tickets on fire tour, my husband and I would’ve gone with another Kayak company to do the kayaking.

Response from Host, Dec 2020

thanks for coming to visit us. sorry you didn't have a 5 star experience. most of us small business owners would really appreciate notification of when something goes wrong so that we can address it and make sure you're satisfied. if you give us another chance sometime, i'd like to discuss what happened and make it better. I noticed you were here during the Thanksgiving rush which is a very busy time for us so I'm sorry that we didn't take the time to make your stay more memorable.

No swimming allowed!!

Gail_K, Jun 2020
The rental place is excellent. The Kayaking is okay. Starting earlier would have been better. We were hoping to find beaches with white sand to have lunch but there was no place to really do that. And the island that provided that was too far to row to. We were hoping to swim too and there was no place to do that either. So if you are in it for just the kayaking then you will love it!!
