The kyack was great. Should bring water bottle. Most favorite was the sandbar. Beautiful water and sand. Water was warm and comfortable. Beverages were on point, great selection. Paddle boarding option was fun. Optimal experience. Sandbar tour is a must when coming to Key West!

If you do the Kayak and sand bar tour. Just make sure you're prepared to sit on a hot boat while they do kayak. They have to break it up in groups. So while they're out you roast. They say 25 to 30 minutes. Our first group was gone just over an hour. The next group was done in the 25 minutes. Im just confused why you can't go to the sand bar and then let people do the kayak stuff there. That's about my only complaint. Staff was great

We had an absolutely amazing day on the water with Captain Chuck, Jordan, and Claire! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, kayak over to Woman Key, and then enjoy an incredible afternoon having lunch and drinks right on the sandbar. It was truly the perfect Key West experience!
The crew was outstanding! Captain Chuck, Jordan, and Claire were knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and so much fun. They made everyone feel comfortable and made the entire day effortless and enjoyable.
The combination of kayaking, wildlife, beautiful water, and relaxing on the sandbar made this one of the highlights of our Key West vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better crew!
Highly recommend this tour and especially Captain Chuck, Jordan, and Claire! We would absolutely do it again! 🌴☀️🐬🛶🍹

This is a perfectly planned out fun day trip. We left at 11am and headed to the mangroves. Took 2 groups to kayak for 30 minutes. Nibbled on lunch and had some beer and wine. Then off to a sandbar 20 minutes away. Pristine waters, paddle boards, water toys, fun crew! Definitely worth the time and money. It’s a great Florida sandbar experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

We have been to Key West many times and always try to experience new things. This was relaxing and fun. The staff was great. The food and drink were good, and the activities were excellent. We particularly enjoyed kayaking around the mangroves, and swimming off the sandbar. Overall, a great day and a great value.

Excellent water excursion experience! The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and professional—exactly what you want for a day on the water. We kayaked through beautiful mangroves, paddleboarded, and even found a conch shell along the way. The people were welcoming and from all over, making for great conversations. Our teenagers had a blast, and so did we. Highly recommend!

Horrible. Sunset tours was not a good experience for us. The dinner cruise food was horrible. the sandbar would have been great had sunset provided a variety of drinks and not expected you to drink what they had because they didn’t check to ensure they kegs weren’t kicked. we told staff and they were like just drink what we have .. no i’m on vacation i’m paying for what I want here not for what you have especially for 270 for just expecting lite beer as an option.
Robert_R, Jun 2026

Jewel_J, Jun 2026
This boat cruise includes a kayak tour in the mangroves along with a relaxing afternoon at a sandbar. My family is very active so we had no problem managing the kayak in open water and through the mangroves. I saw others stay behind if kayaking is not your thing. We heard animals but didn’t see much. There were a few fish but no manatees. The crew member Jordan gave us some cool info as we were navigating. My oldest loved the info and was enjoying the water and nature.
I was ready for the sandbar after the kayak. It was very hot. You will need a hat, sunscreen and uvf wear if you burn easily! Captain Chuck had a nice lunch which everyone enjoyed. Cuban sandwiches, chicken tenders, fruit and veggies with humus. Beer and wine along with soft drinks were provided. No limit on food and drinks either. The water was choppy when we got to the sandbar. Everyone found a spot to take in the warm waters and enjoy the music and tranquility of the keys. My sons were able to snorkel and even saw a shark behind the boat in the water. That was definetly a highlight for them. They couldn’t stop talking about it. My sons father was able to fly his drone and was thrilled to capture some footage of our experience. Overall, the tour was fun and memorable. It would of been amazing if the water wasn’t so choppy but you can’t control mother nature, just have to roll with it and drink your beverage quick before the salt water ruins it.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We're glad to hear your family had a fun and memorable day exploring the mangroves, relaxing at the sandbar, and enjoying everything the trip had to offer. It’s great to know Jordan’s knowledge and commentary added to the kayaking experience, especially for your oldest son, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both Jordan and Captain Chuck.
We're happy everyone enjoyed the lunch, drinks, and time at the sandbar. Seeing a shark while snorkeling is certainly an exciting and unforgettable experience—it's no wonder your sons couldn't stop talking about it! While we wish the water had been a little calmer for your visit, you're absolutely right that Mother Nature has a mind of her own. We're glad your family embraced the adventure and made the most of the day.
Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Key West adventure in the future! 🌴🛶🦈☀️🍹
