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.

This local place is the best! The staff was so nice and helpful. The trip into the mangroves was amazing. Our guide was great and the trip was so fun and educational. Be prepared to get fully into the mangroves. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Excellent kayaking trip. Susan and the rest of the staff were very helpful and made of this a very pleasant trip. The hidden lagoon was something to experience with it’s cristal clear water and upside down jellyfishes.

I am rating the guided eco tour portion of this adventure rather than the equipment. The kayak itself was great, and the paddling was straight forward. The reality about the tour is there is NOTHING to see inside a mangrove and it’s NOT fun struggling to get through the trees in a kayak. Most of our tour was using our arms to pull on tree branches to propel ourselves through a narrow creek not wide enough to paddle. The guide may have offered a few facts about the mangrove but unless you were the kayak directly behind her, the rest of the kayakers couldn’t hear anything she said, mostly because she wore a mask the whole time she was on the tour. I understand her focus on safety but her accent and the mask impeded us understanding much of what was said.

sorry you didn't enjoy your tour with us. our goal is to make it a 5 star trip with everyone and since it wasn't that for you I personally apologize. Some people really enjoy the mangroves and others do not. I am sorry you had trouble hearing your guide due to her wearing a mask but we have had a lot of covid infections here in the keys (nearly every business in our little center has had it but us) and we're just trying to insure that we remain healthy so that we can continue to welcome people from all over the country as we have been lucky to be able to remain open throughout this pandemic. i really wish we would have been able to discuss this when you were here. as a small business owner, i really love when i get constructive criticism and try to rectify any dissatisfaction when it happens.
