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.

Great Time Kayaking deep into the Mangrove Forests - We originally planned to go snorkeling, but because of windy conditions, we instead opted to go Kayaking. We loved this experience! The guide, Jade, was personable and professional - ensuring that we all were capable in our kayaks. The mangrove tunnels were beautiful and fun to maneuver through. Definitely choose this 3 hour tour because you are able to go deeper into the mangroves, which leads to a hidden lagoon. Fabulous trip and highly recommend!!

Peaceful kayaking - Very peaceful morning kayaking. We left at 10 am and had the place to ourselves. Just saw a few kayakers on the return trip. Jade was very informative and pointed things out and provided information about what we were seeing and the mangrove habitat. We even saw dolphins! Highly recommend kayaking with Jade!

Way cooler than I expected - This was a super fun excursion for me and the family. I didn't know what to expect with mangrove tunnels but tunnels they were, and so cool. Jade was really friendly and a great, knowledgeable guide. One of the great things was it was a small group with six people (three kayaks). We got lucky and saw some dolphins at the end, but no manatees. Wild life sightings are kind of luck of the draw. But the mangroves are fascinating with lots of other creatures and Jade takes you further in than the other tours to where it gets most interesting and to stuff you don't want to miss. Definitely recommend this. Don't get scared off by the small number of reviews. Jade has been doing this a long time but just took over this business.
