    Kayaking

    Tabatha_O, Apr 2026
    Peaceful and informative. Learning about the wildlife and seeing the fish under the kayak was very fun.

    The mangroves were beautiful to paddle through

    Laura_S, Apr 2026
    It was fun paddling through the mangroves. I liked that there was only a small group of us, which made it easier to hear the guide.

    Just ok

    Regina_R, Apr 2026
    We didn’t get training on kayaking. My partners seat was broke. We took on water because the seat was broke and we leaned too much one way. Saw very little wildlife.

    A perfect slow adventure

    Erika_M, Apr 2026
    I’m so glad we went on this tour. Jamie is a fun and knowledgeable guide, and we learned so much about the mangrove ecosystem while we explored. Saw lots of wildlife, too!

    Family adventure

    We ended being the only two people on the trip. Mallory was awesome and asked us what we wanted to see and customized the tour for us. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Saw birds, jellyfish, mangrove tunnels. Very fun trip!

    Relaxing experience.

    Maribeth_O, Mar 2026
    Did not see a lot of activity in the water. It’s a relaxing, non-strenuous experience and the clear bottom kayaks were cool. The water was clear, saw some nurse sharks and lots of jellyfish. The mangroves are fascinating.

    Disappointed customer service

    Rebecca_M, Mar 2026
    This was canceled due to weather which was understandable and we had to fly out so we were told we would be refunded but that was last week and we have not been refunded yet.

    Good experience

    David_C, Mar 2026
    Fun day kayaking through the Mangrove. Our guide was very informative. Saw the many different areas and environments within the Mangrove. It was an easy trip physically.

    Thomas_M, Mar 2026
    There is no signage at the place that tells you that it's clear kayak eco tour. Sebastian was a good tour guide.

    Making learning fun.

    Johanna_R, Mar 2026
    This was a great tour. We learned a ton about the mango groves & Jellyfish. It was a great experience.

    Guided Tour

    Lynn_G, Mar 2026
    This tour was good for all ages, however it was probably not enough of a challenge for the more adventurous. It is a rather urban tour, but beautiful just the same. Sebastian was our guide, and he was patient, kind and informative. They could do a better job welcoming you to the site. It was a cold reception by our hostess and the others mulling around. No hospitality until Sebastian took over.

    Nursery of Sharks

    Kim_Y, Feb 2026
    We had a great time. It was very relaxing. We saw a family of nurse sharks towards the end of the tour. It was really cool!

    Relaxing and Educational Kayak Trip

    Beth_M, Feb 2026
    Noah was our guide. His knowledge of marine and bird life is stellar. He took us to all the points where the he typically finds things. We saw nurse sharks, red coral, parrot fish, barracuda, tarpon, snapper, several starfish. Pelicans , osprey and another bird that I cannot remember ! He is also a great conversationalist discussing and answering all of our questions. The turtle was elusive this trip but that happens.

    Noah is the best!

    Amy_M, Feb 2026
    Noah was a great guide. Took us through the mangroves, out into the open areas and searching for wildlife. Since we were the only people in our group, we had a private tour! Beautiful day!

    A good morning to spend the day in Key West

    Laura_J, Jan 2026
    It was a chilly 58 degrees the day of our tour but we still went out. Our guide was great and we had a very relaxed time on the water. The jelly fish we saw were pretty amazing though the water was a bit murky due to the cold front that came through. Still had a great time in the water!

    Fun day on thenwater

    Maria_G, Jan 2026
    Great experience - lots of fun. Jamie was great, very knowledgeable and patient with us new kayakers. It is a full 2 hours of rowing and pulling through the mangroves so it takes some strength and a little stamina, but fun! There was an issue with the dock - the steps getting onto the dock weren’t right and a little scary, but with help it was fine. Hopefully fixed now.

    Memorable tour

    Elizabeth_B, Jan 2026
    Our guide, Jaimie, was great and gave us a memorable tour. She was patient with four middle aged women and was very knowledgeable about the area. I don’t think I’d go for the clear bottom kayak again, just because I couldn’t see much through it, but I would recommend this experience for seeing one of the natural parts of Key West.

    Great experience!

    Johanna_G, Jan 2026
    My sister and I, both in our 60's and first time kayakers, had a great time. Our guide John was very patient and knowledgeable. Learned a lot about the indigenous sea life, to include gently holding a sea hare; even got to see one "ink"! We glided over sleeping nurse sharks and learned about Cassiopeia jellyfish (they look like snowflakes in water). We glided through open waters to mangrove tunnels, at a nice pace that wasn't overly tiring. This was a learning experience about the waters of Key West and if that is of interest to you, we definitely recommend this tour. (A special thanks to John for saving my sister's license from the water!)

    Early morning kayaking with Sebastian

    Jamie_V, Jan 2026
    Quiet, easy, beautiful. Sebastian was an excellent guide. He found and pointed out nurse sharks, iguanas, snow flake jelly fish, and local birds. We learned more about mangroves. Very nice!

    New Years Day paddle through the mangroves

    Kimberly_M, Jan 2026
    Noah was a terrific guide. We saw manatees, a nurse shark, sea hares, starfish, corral, and lots of fish and birds. Beautiful tour through the mangrove tunnels. Such a great way to ring in the New Year. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful way to spend the day!

    Claire_F, Dec 2025
    This was a great experience! Very fun, moderately paced (we had a 13 year old with us who had a blast), great sites to visit, our guide was very knowledgeable. Def recommend to anyone seeking a day in the sun and nature, something slower paced than charter fishing and quieter than jet skiing. Great way to spend the day outside and see the beautiful mangroves. 10/10 experience. Thanks Sebastian!

    The staff here is on top of it. Super kind and very knowledgeable about the local sealife. Highly recommend going on an adventure here.

    Great family adventure. Learned a lot about the local sealife and had an amazing time. Highly recommend this establishment. Staff is super kind and helpful!

    Great time

    Clifford_O, Dec 2025
    Just enjoy the beautiful trip. Our guide was great. Take water and lots of pics. We saw two nurse sharks a baby baracuda and countless jellyfish.

    Great Kayak Adventure in Key West!

    Rosalyn_W, Nov 2025
    My friend and I went on a kayaking tour during my first trip to Key West and had such a fun experience! It was a bit windy and the water was a little shifty so we didn’t see a ton of wildlife, but we still spotted some fish and even got to get up close to a manatee! Paddling through the mangroves was really cool, and our guide, Sebastian, was very laid-back and helpful. He made sure we got to explore different areas and see as much as possible. I also loved the flat-bottom canoe style of the kayak; it made it really easy to see into the water. It was a small group and overall just a great trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Key West!
