Guided Mangrove Eco Tours Kayak Or Paddleboard Adventure

Tortuga Jack was a great guide, and the owner picked me up from my hotel for no extra charge. Wonderful paddle experience.

Jodi was a terrific guide and so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot an about the mangroves and the creatures that lived there. We used the SUPs which were fun and as easy to use as kayaks. We sat on them most of the time. The tour included round-trip transportation from our Key West hotel. Such a great value!

The tour operator (Amy) picked us up at our hotel, even though it wasn't one actually listed and drove us out to the place where we'd be kayaking from. She was very attentive and helpful, had water for us and sunscreen! Our kayak guide was Chris, a marine biology major and SO knowledgable and passionate about the area! Also super intuitive about when we may need a break or just slow down. The area was gorgeous and even though we really didn't see a ton of marine life it was a relaxing and really enjoyable day!

Great excursion. Our guide was fabulous. Very informative and learned about the importance of the mangroves

This was our second time. Sarah, our guide, was awesome. We had a small group of 6, very relaxing and enjoyable. The group saw fish, birds, starfish, sea turtle, juvenile lemon shark, jelly fish and more. They provided transportation, water, sunscreen and a dry bag. Highly recommend.

Jody was an incredible tour guide. We learned soo much and I would highly recommend!!!

Great experience. Everyone super interested in being sure you had a great experience and we did.

Our guide, Jodi did an amazing job showing us the mangroves. We were disappointed in that we saw very little sea life, but that’s something completely out of anyone’s control. Our tour consisted of one sea turtle and quite a few tiny jellyfish. Other than that, not too much wildlife. Come, expecting a very easy and calming kayak paddle. Wear lots of sunscreen as you’ll be out there for a few hours. In our search for sea life, we probably stayed out longer than necessary, but Jodi did her best to show us around in the hopes of seeing sea life. Sadly, nature did not cooperate on our trip.

Jodi was our guide. Her exuberance and enthusiasm were contagious. It obvious she loves the mangrove keys and the echo system. We spent a good 2 hours exploring the groves, learning about the sea life, searching for sea turtles, sponges, jelly fish, etc. great time! Plan to get wet and wear sunscreen!

The tour was great, it was only the two of us cause we booked it on a weekday. The kayaking experience is really cool. Everything we learned about the mangroves was by a very knowledgeable guide. Definitely worth it and highly recommend!!!

We were able to see wildlife in habitat - a favorite. Steve was an excellent guide and made the trip fun. I loved the jellyfish.

Great time kayaking in the mangroves!! Excellent guide, John! Experienced a few wild creatures and beautiful mangrove’s. Easy trip even for beginners

We had a great and chill time on our tour. We saw plenty of creatures and soaked in all the things Kristen had to share. Also, getting picked up and dropped off was so helpful and our shuttle drivers were friendly and gave us great tips while visiting! The owner was great and super trustworthy, so don’t be afraid to look at their site directly!

Had the kayak tour through the mangroves in Key West. Steve was our guide and he was very good - patient and informative. The weather was not the best so we avoided some of the outer mangroves and stayed in more protected territory. But we saw and learned quite a bit. Very much enjoyed. Would highly recommend it. Ted

We had a wonderful time kayaking and exploring the mangroves. Our guide Sara was amazing! We will be back another time for sure!

Eco Tour Very knowledgeable and friendly! Kristen was awesome!!! She shared her experience and made the tour relaxed and enjoyable!

We had a great morning tour with Steve! We saw heron, osprey, a nurse shark, many types of fish, sponges, jellyfish, etc. You paddle thru the mangroves in calm waters. Their set up is easy to enter and exit the kayaks if this is your first time. Highly recommend this tour! Steve was a great guide! Also, stay for lunch at the restaurant.

Book it!!! This was the highlight of my trip! Allie and Steve were amazing. Allie provided door to door service from my hotel that made the adventure effortless. When I arrived at the kayak hut I was greeted by Steve my tour guide. Steve is very knowledgeable and has great energy. We were able to see a couple black tip coral sharks, turtle, conch shell and herons. The water was glass and weather was perfect! I took a mangrove tour 20yrs ago when I was here and it was the one thing I was looking forward to doing again and this tour was beyond my expectations!! Thank you Allie and Steve!

What a special treat. Absolutely beautiful and serene and the wild life and mangroves were so impressive. Fantastic trip!

Our tour guide Steve was awesome and funny. We had so much fun. We recommend going in the morning, we got to see tons of wildlife.

views were amazing! great tour guide (jack)! what a great entertainer and very interesting. super relaxing and would recommend!

Thanks to Jack and Allie for a kid friendly, low intensity introduction to mangroves and local marine life and history. We’ll be back for some solo fishing adventures.

I have been coming to the paddle hut for many years. When the owners changed last year I was a bit worried, but I shouldn’t have been—the amazing staff and tours have remained the same! I try to come every time I’m in the Keys, I see something new every time!!
