Excellent tour. Our guide Heather was great. It was an educational, interesting and beautiful tour. We are novice kayakers and it was fine. Our ages ran from 17 to 58.
Thank you (tall) Rachel for the incredible tour! It was super engaging and it was great to feel connected to the local eco system! Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about the local wildlife.
Great Experience Great Employees Wonderful Company to do an Excursion With CC our tour guide was wonderful
This is a must do if your in key west. This is one of the best trips me and the wife took. Brett the gudie was awesome. He kept the energy the whole time and even would explain things. We saw manatees on this trip along with being able to hold a jellyfish. This is a must do trip
The trip was as excellent - made more so by the guide ‘Rachel’ (short one). From arrival to departure the entire team made you feel welcome and safe. You don’t go too far out but you see lots. We had the opportunity to see a few Manatee which was incredible. The kayaking is not difficult but needs a little bit of effort depending on the tide. You can also double up if needed. A fantastic experience and one I would recommend.
Very pleasurable experience.
We loved this excursion! Rachel G was an excellent guide and very educated on the mangrove eco system. We were hesitant since it wasn’t an excursion offered through the cruise ship, but turned out fine. We Ubered to Lazy Dog from the port for $20 for 4 people and then again to our lunch spot. Great experience.
Heather was an excellent guide! She gave great instructions, and very knowledgeable! Take it from someone who never kayaked before, it was an awesome, “must do” experience!
Our mangrove tour was amazing! Rachel (tall) was super friendly and was so knowledgeable about the ecosystem and wildlife! I would recommend being in a double kayak vs a single as by the end it is nice to have 2 people paddling. We will definitely come back if we are ever back in Key West!
Tall Rachel was awesome guide we had so much fun
