Mangroves and Manatees - Guided Kayak Eco Tour

Overview

Our tours are geared towards first time and new paddlers. We go at your speed so you don't have to worry about going out and getting exhausted. Grab a friend and come along for a unique adventure on the #1-rated Eco-Tour through the mangrove ecosystem. Choose your kayak - single or double - and glide in our shallow clear water over sponges, grass beds, and sandy patches. Looking down, you might see a small nurse shark, turtle, or stingray, or can observe dolphins and manatees. Above water, herons, pelicans, and ospreys settle on the mangroves and hunt for fish. While there are no guaranteed wildlife sightings, we always see something cool in this one-of-a-kind estuary ecosystem that starts right outside the back door of our shop.

Such a relaxing and fun way to end our trip to the Keys. Our guide, Keith, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and calm…He even recommended where to grab lunch after and was spit on.

It was a little challenging figuring out where we needed to go and parking was challenging. The equipment provided was very easy to use and comfortable. Brittany, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area and mangroves. She also took a bunch of pictures of our group, which she shared once we finished. While it was not guaranteed, we encountered a wild manatee on our way back to the put-in spot, which made the outing complete. Very fun excursion!

We booked the Eco Wildlife kayak through the mangrove for our first day in the Keys however we needed to move our booking and the company were extremely helpful and kindly accommodated our request. On arrival you are required to sign a waiver for your family members and are given instructions about what to take/not take on the trip. No spray sunscreen as it can hurt the wildlife in the water. Then we went out onto the back deck to meet our instructor Chris and get tooled up. We then headed out onto the water and paddles about 1km before returning to base. We went down a mangrove channel which was good fun dodging the low hanging branches - more tricky for those in the paddle boards! On our trip we were lucky enough to see lots of pelicans and 2 manatees. Chris said that it has been windy for 3 weeks and so the water was not as clear as it could have been so we didn’t see other wildlife. It was an enjoyable paddle, not taxing at all. The teenagers really enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
