What To Expect

Key West

Explore the wondrous and enigmatic mangrove islands with one of our very knowledgeable nature guides. Learn all about the mangrove eco-system, while paddling through a maze of mangrove-canopied canals and streams, that are home to an incredible tropical array of birds, rays, sharks, sport fish, and more. And, no worries if you’ve never kayaked before; our kayaks are very stable sea kayaks that novices from ages 6 to 90 and beyond can easily paddle with a few simple instructions from your guide.

Key West

Your half-day cruise from Key West starts at the Opal Key Resort Head out into the waters of the Key West National Wildlife Refuge, where you'll enjoy a guided kayaking tour through the mangrove habitat and go snorkeling in the clear waters of this protected environment. Your guide provides instruction for kayaking and snorkeling, plus tells you a little about the history of the area. Use of all gear is included, as well as snacks and beverages on board.

Had a blast, crew was great, very friendly. Had snacks on the way out, beer and wine (great selection) after snorkeling. Wish we could have seen more while snorkeling, but was still a great experience. Kayaking was great as well, guide was very informative. The boat ride was a great time, was nice to talk with other people from all over the country. Would do it it again.

The crew was excellent. Had a lot of fun with them. Also enjoyed the kayaking experience. Can't say the snorkeling was great though. Have snorkeled in the Bahamas and Hawaii and this snorkeling experience was no where near the beauty and variety we saw in the Bahamas and Hawaii.

This tour is stated as exactly what you would receive for your purchase price. After a prompt boarding, we immediately set out of the marina under the direction of our Captain Janet. While cruising we were provided with interactive questions and answers of the Florida Keys. The information was well presented, with enthusiasm by Cody. It was during this process that we were all called by our names. The crew had personally asked each of our names and made it a determined effort to remember each one. We tried sailing at one point, but it was a miserable fail due to the poor winds. Back under power we continued to our destination, all while being served cold water and fresh fruit told to stay hydrated in the sun.

We arrived at the Mangroves and didn't have to lift a finger. The crew unloaded and prepared all of the kayaks for us. We were instructed on safety practices. We set out in divided and guided tours through the mangroves. We were able to see multiple wild encounters snakes, birds, fish, rays. It was a relaxing tour and I never felt overworked, or struggling to keep up.

Another short motor over to a sponge bed for snorkeling. This was great, and each crew member ensured both our safety, enjoyment, and would call out snorkelers, over here for a sighting of something unique a stingray the size of a small car, puffer fish that could pass as small dogs, beautifully colored fish, etc. We were never rushed during the events.

Our ride back to the marina was enjoyable. I had all the free beer I could drink and chips with salsa were passed around.

We couldn't have asked for a better excursion during our trip. I would highly recommend this trip, or another comparable one offered by Danger.

Thank you to Janet, Cody, Lucy, and Derek Nebraska. Keep up you enthusiasm and ability to wow with your knowledge, experience, and courteous behaviors.

If I had a single negative comment, it would have been Derek's jokes. I don't know where you get them, but I am glad you have a day job.
