Great Kayaking Experience - From the moment we arrived, Jade was so kind and professional. My parents and I were first-time kayakers, and Jade was very patient with us throughout the whole tour. He is quite knowledgeable about the various wildlife in the area and shared a lot of interesting information about the mangrove ecosystem. After getting past the canal, the route we took through the mangroves was so beautiful and peaceful. Anyone looking to kayak in the Keys should definitely do it with Jade!

Perfect morning - This was a fantastic kayak trip. Jade was a wealth of knowledge, an expert guide, and prepared. , He even gave us several lunch recommendations when we asked and his top pick was perfect for us. While we’ve kayaked several times, this was our first through the mangroves and it was just beautiful. He took us deeper through (past where other kayak trips turn around) and that was the best part. Highly recommend this kayak tour for anyone visiting the keys.

Paddling and Monkey-Barring - Atticus was very friendly and knowledgeable. Taught us what to do and how to navigate the mangrove creek by paddle as well as by “monkey-barring” the trees limbs. Went further than other tours and got to a peaceful lagoon with jellyfish all over the place. This was certainly a workout, but we had great time.

Amazing experience. Jade was wonderful! - Jade was amazing! My boyfriend and I did his morning tour, and he showed us where there were lobsters in the rocks, the lagoon with jelly fish, we seen 2 nurse sharks, and a bunch of different kinds of fish. The mangrove was a little tough to get through in a few spots, but he hooked his kayak to ours, and pulled us through. Very intelligent young man with a lot of knowledge about the area. I highly recommend a tour with him.

Enjoyable kayaking experience - A perfect way to see the mangroves in the Florida keys. Jade was a wonderful guide, he was very knowledgeable and patient with some of the less experienced kayakers. We had a wonderful tour and highly recommend Jade's company.
