Wonderful experience - We loved our kayak tour with Rebecca. She pointed out various wildlife and ocean life during our tour. Ask for Rebecca if you want a phenomenal kayak experience.

Mangrove Tunnel Mania - Stacey was awesome. The trip was both fun as well as educational. Stacey was quick to share much knowledge about the environment as well as the area. For me the best part of the tour was the Mangrove tunnels Would highly recommend the tour as well as Stacey as a guide

Our favorite activity of our whole trip! Book with Stacy - Stacy was a great guide. Cool as sh*t too! She kept it entertaining and also gave us alot of facts about it all. If we ever come back to Key West, we would definitely do this again. We would’ve enjoyed it just as much even if we didn’t see one creature out there. We had a great group and everyone was looked after well and we got some great photos too. Our group aged from 12 years old to 80 years old and we all kept up very well without losing anyone. Thank you, Stacy, for making our experience a great one!

Kayaking in the mangroves! - Great experience for couples in their seventies. Even though we had a tandem kayak, we’re still married. Might have been easier with a single kayak. Stacy was so patient when we got stuck in the mangroves. WE DID IT!

Kayaking the mangroves - This kayaking experience was absolutely amazing and well worth it. My wife and decided the day prior that we wanted to do a morning trip in hopes of seeing more wildlife with it being a bit cooler and it was awesome. Heidi was our guide and she pointed out all the different birds, fish and coral. A few baby sharks. Heidi’s knowledge of the groves is unmatched! What we found to be even more helpful was her knowledge of the local community. I highly recommend Get Up and Go Kayaking. Do yourself a favor and request Heidi!
