A good guide like lindsey essential - Brilliant being able to combine sandbar/kayak/ paddleboarding all in the same trip . Lindsey took us out to this brilliant mangrove island and quickly got us set up . One of us had never paddleboarded before but thanks to lindsey’s help she was like a pro by the end

Engaging, fun, and a relaxing time. A must do! - Bethany was great. She set us for kayaking, paddle boarding, float pad, and even a pup plank for our Aussie. We loved her information about the surrounding ecosystems. Having our own little island with trails, sand, and even a homemade hammock was an awesome time had by all. Thank you Lazy Dog and Bethany.

Awesome!!! - Capt. Nicole was excellent as well as her dog, "Ernie." Very relaxing trip and what made it much better was the fact that they take kayaks and paddleboards for your use.

Best day on Key West - The highlight of our trip. The staff is amazing. They made sure we were able to go out even though the weather wasn't cooperating! They know their stuff. Post poned our departure and had amazing weather and sunset to die for. Our captain, Heather, was awesome. She was friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had the best experience. Thank you Lazy Dog!

Super duper - Nicole was excellent. Very informative and new all the cool spots. Parking was easy and the boat was right there. She took us around the mangroves and gave us a nice cayak to explore on our own. Very nice pontoon boat with a leisurely drive back and forth. What a great day, Thanks so very much!!!

Great day- would do it again! - Great day out at the sandbar with heather. Our family of four had a blast! My husband and I paddle boarded while our kids swam and tossed the football with Heather. She inflated a mat that the kids could float and jump off of. I would do this again in a heartbeat. She had plenty of water, was happy to take pictures for us and was all around very knowledgeable and a great captain. We felt so comfortable and really had a great time.

MUST TRY.. TOTALLY WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY - The private trip was wonderful. Never seen anything so beautiful. Our guide Lindsay was a sweetheart.
The scenic view was amazing. We got to get into the water and walk through the mangroves.
It’s totally safe even if you can’t swim since the water is like knee deep. The water is clean and clear as crystal and it’s a good way to spend half a day in the ocean.
Totally recommend it and would definitely come back next time

Great Day on the Water - Five of us took what was billed as the "1/2 Day Eco Boat Adventure" - it was great. The Captain - Heather was awesome, she asked us what we wanted to do, we opted to go out to a beach / sand bar for the afternoon. We swam, walked on the beach and used the stand up paddle boards. We brought plenty of beer and sandwiches, the boat had a large cooler and plenty of ice. It was a nice ride out to the island, it was a weekend so there were a bunch of other boats - but it was not overly crowded as there was plenty of room at this island. Would highly recommend this trip.
