Amazing kayak adventure with Kaleb - My husband and I decided to do a last-minute quick day trip down to Key West. I wanted to make sure that we did something a little out of our norm but something that would be quicker and allow us to start heading back to Miami on the same day. The clear kayak was such a great choice and experience our guide Kaleb was so amazing. He made it so us being inexperienced kayakers had no problem at all trekking the mangrove canals. I’ve been to the keys multiple times and never experienced the mangroves like this. So close to nature, so close to the water, seeing through the kayak and going through places in the mangroves that you cannot get to any other than by kayak. Kaleb went that extra mile because we were a fast group. He made it so that we did more and didn’t just turn around and go back. He took us to further and cooler spots making the trip so worth it definitely will be coming back again with our son thank you Kaleb.

Family Fun - I highly recommend this tour! It’s fun for kids of all ages and adult adults too. And you do not have to be an amazing shape to enjoy this experience. The fee is very affordable, and our trip was the perfect amount of time. We felt like we got our moneys worth, but we were not exhausted. Don’t hesitate to book your tour!

A fun family adventure - We (family of four, two kids) did the 9 o’clock to 11 o’clock tour. Sarah was our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the mangroves and the marine life, and gave us clear instructions on where to paddle and what to do. Overall it was a great experience! Our favorite thing was going through the mangrove tunnels thanks Sarah!

Wonderful Memory - We had such a great time! It was my 3.5-year-old daughter’s first time on a paddling boat/kayak, and our tour guide, Andrew, was incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. He made us feel comfortable and truly helped make it special for her. What a wonderful memory for our family, thank you so much!

Fun and sun - Be sure to bring a towel to cover the tops of your legs or you will get sunburn. Great fun. Our guide, Andrew, was great and his dog Brooke was a good mascot! Worth the price!

The guide-Andrew was fun,... - The guide-Andrew was fun, knowledgeable, and very considerate and conscious of everyone and safety. The scenery and groves are very nice but we didn’t hardly see any wildlife- so it was a bit disappointing. Other than that it was a nice time and the clear boats are an added bonus.
