A really nice paddle through the mangroves. We did this two years ago and came back again. Nice to do it without a group.

Near a busy highway. Not that much to see. Conditions weren't great for paddling that day, not the tour companies fault

the check in process was super easy and staff was extremely friendly. We loved going through the mangrove tunnels which made this kayak adventure different than just being out on the water paddling

It was easy to navigate. We are early 50s and very easy to handle. We did the two hour tour, which was plenty they give you a map as we selected self guided. We seen mangrove crabs a nurse shark someone nearby saw a manatee as well as some sort of pink snake.

I think the eco tour is the way to go especially if you get tripped up easily on directions. We got a little list in the mangroves even with a map. No markers anywhere do a your guide is helpful. The ladies are really nice that work here and we still got to see a shark, manatee and a bunch of really cool jellyfish!
Margaret_Z, Mar 2024
Great day! The mangrove tunnels and salt ponds were so worth it! Saw starfish, manatees, horseshoe crabs, jellyfish, and lots of fish. Don’t skip trip 2! Directions and map from staff helped a lot.

Kayaking thru the mangroves was a first for us. It was a little difficult to maneuver but we made it!
Helena_C, Jun 2023
Arrival, set up and getting out on the water was a super seamless process as was coming back in. The maps were great as a guide and I enjoyed kayaking through the mangroves and being out on the water. Had a great time and I'll definitely book with Lazy Dog again on my next visit. Thanks much, Helena

Stopped in Key West on a cruise to Cozumel. Wanted to do something not cruise related. This was the best thing to do and so much fun! Will definitely do this again next time we are down.
Luann B, Aug 2017
I was looking for something water related that would also give us some exercise and this fit the requirements for seven of us ages 10-70. This was relaxing and had a great time kayaking through some of the tunnels in the mangroves. We would do this again.
