Amazing! Highlight of our holiday! - We went as a family on a tour, it was one of the highlights of our holiday! We were able to see manatees, dolphins and kayack through the mangroves. Our tour guide Tony was very knowledgable and was able to answer all of our questions. It felt just the right length, I had thought about going for individual hire as it would have been longer but def. Worth having the tour. We never would have found the manatees! Would recommend to anyone, a brilliant experience. Thank you Tony ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect way to see the keys - Jack gave an amazing tour full of information! Highlights were seeing manatee and turtles but there were so many creatures along the trip. The swimming hole in the mangroves was spectacular.

Great activity! - We had a rough start, because it had been a long time since we had kayaked for both of us. But Tony helped us very well EN we had a nice & cozy group. After less than 5 minutes we already saw 2 dolphins, who swam with us for at least 15 minutes. This was very nice to see, furthermore many fish & birds seen. It was a very nice activity, Tony is a very good guide!

Great morning out - Like all the other reviews here, we had a great time. We didn’t see any manatees, but saw a couple of dolphins and when we got out at the end, a couple of Nurse sharks and Tarpons. Both kids (6&9)loved it and the guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Nice! - Very nice environment, preliminary information and adequate equipment. We rented a three-seater DA kayak: two adults and a 5-year-old girl. The guide was nice but also very attentive to safety, paying particular attention to our little girl despite the fact that the group was large enough (10 people). Unfortunately we didn't see manatees or turtles, but we still had a lot of fun paddling and swimming in the mangroves. Keep in mind that in July it is very hot and the route is quite long, you need a minimum of physical preparation. Recommended!

Consistently great tour! - We visit the keys every year and this was the second time taking this tour. Tony was a great guide full of knowledge about the local flora and fauna! We saw dolphins, sea turtles, sting rays, nurse sharks, and lots of fish! The swimming hole was a great cool off. We look forward to next year!

Pleasant experience and... - Pleasant experience and crossing these mangrove tunnels was fantastic. At the end of the route we stopped at a small spot where we had a swim. The only difficulty is at the start and return to cross the section frequented DA boats and speedboats. The guide has always assisted us, even in this small busy stretch and 'was very attentive. I would have liked a longer journey.

A lovely paddle but not quite what we booked - We had a very pleasant ocean paddle out to a nearby island where we saw plenty of hermit crabs. And we also managed to see a Nurse shark on our way back in. The 3 star review is not about the paddle we did- it was nice, but it wasn’t really what we booked. On arrival we felt the 3 groups of 10-12 paddlers was too much for the location, our group went on a very pleasant paddle along the coastline, looking at small sections of mangroves on the way before paddling through the open ocean to a nearby island, we then did similar on the way back. This didn’t really fit the mangrove paddle we had booked, we were told it was too hot and too many bugs in the mangroves- yet the other two groups did that route. We may be wrong but it felt like too many people were booked into this trip to all do the intended route. Happy to be told that’s wrong but that was how we felt as customers. We booked to explore mangroves and hope to see manatees- we know that wildlife tours are always unknown and so we had hoped but never expected to see a manatee, no one could control that, but we felt the lack of mangroves in our paddle was disappointing. If we had booked an Ocean Kayak we would have been happy.
