Great kayaking afternoon! - It is a wonderful 2 hour kayak tour through the mangroves. Our guide Heather was wonderful at instructing us for navigation and safety. She made the experience wonderful by pointing out local wildlife and teaching us about the unique aspects of the Key West ecosystem.

Great journey through the mangroves. - I took my 7 year old grandson on this outing. Our guide was Rachel, she was fantastic, my grandson got to hold all sorts of animals, she gave a very good talk at various stops about the animals and plants ( my PhD was in ecology) , and she kept a careful eye on all our group. Also the kayaks were made comfortable with how they lodged our life vests over back of seat. I really recommend as mangroves are extremely important and you will learn this in a really fun trip.
