5Great tour
It is an eco tour, so you learn a lot about the environment you’re kayaking through as well as the animals you see. The paddling is not strenuous except a couple of short bursts to cross the channel. You feel very safe the entire time.
5Awesome day with Tall Rachel
We had an incredible time on our eco kayak tour with Tall Rachel. The group was a perfect size and we learned so much! You can tell that Rachel is extremely passionate about the animals and the trees. Everything she said was literally said with a smile. We would absolutely go again. Thanks Tall Rachel for a super fun & knowledgeable adventure! For new guests- hats & sunglasses are a must.
5Will come again
Heather was our tour guide and she was the best very friendly and knowledgeable about the ecosystem. Made the excursion feel very calm and friendly.
5A Great Experience!!!
Had a fantastic time on the Mangrove Kayak Tour. Single or Double kayaks were available. Wife and I went in a double and it was easy even for a beginner with no experience. Length was a bit over an hour. Guide was amazing and showed us all the plants and animals along the way. Finished up by seeing manatees on the way back. Amazing time and cannot recommend this highly enough. Do not miss!
2Could have been much better - included a tip shakedown
The pace was very slow and the guide kept handling the Sealife, and encouraging the tour group to do so as well. Then at the end it was a hard sell for tips.
510/10 recommend the mangroves kayak tour!
My husband and I came down to celebrate our birthdays and did the mangrove kayak tour. Heather was our tour guide and she was phenomenal! Very knowledgeable and made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something active to do.

About Key West
Key West is the southernmost city in the continental United States, a small Florida Keys island of wooden conch houses, coral reefs and sunset crowds.
Key West lies at the end of the Overseas Highway, the road that hops from island to island for about 180 kilometres from the mainland, and is about 150 kilometres from Cuba. The old town is a grid of narrow streets lined with wooden conch houses trimmed with white fretwork and shaded by palms. Free-roaming chickens wander the pavements.
Top-ranked sights in Key West: Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Mallory Square, Fort Zachary Taylor.
