    Florida mangrove

    Ryan was a fantastic guide. He is very knowledgeable of the plants and wildlife of the Keys. The kayaks we comfortable and clean. The staff was helpful and patient. We saw many species of birds, and iguana swimming across the channel and best of all, we had a dolphin swimming across with our kayak. I have never encountered a dolphin while kayaking.

    Great experience. Perfect amount of time. Loved the mangroves. Our guide was so friendly.

    Tunnel thru the mangroves

    Absolutely amazing tour. It was very comfortable and peaceful. Our guide Susanne was very knowledgeable and friendly and made us all very comfortable. Which was very important to me, especially because I don't know how to swim. But I felt confident going on the water having her as our guide. I especially loved that her dog Slinky joined us in the adventure. Watching him come on the water. He gave me a lot of confidence just as well :) We were able to see one manatee during our trip. Susanne gave us very good direction on how to get the best view by slowing down our paddling and making sure we kept the manatee comfortable in being around us. I was especially surprised when we went into a tunnel of the mangroves. It was a type fit and a very fun adventure to get close to the trees. We were able to see lots of fish and even little mini crabs crawling up the trees. The crew saw a shark on the way back. Unfortunately I missed that sighting, as it swim right behind me and into the deeper water. Overall, it was an absolutely amazing tour. Only one thing, when you check in on Yelp, it says you get a free gift. Know one was familiar that this was a perk they were offering, so I didn't have a free gift given to me. But that's okay. No big deal. They actually texted me about it to look further into it. I would love to do this again in the future.

    Took a 2 hour tour with Kayak Jack! What a wonderful way to spend the morning. Absolutely loved the trivia and wildlife info we learned, as well as seeing Casiopia jellyfish and paddling through the mangroves. Fun, family friendly way to spend some time. Highly recommend!

    Great bike hire for a day! Thanks Deven for looking after us! Also did the kayak tour which was great fun Highly recommend!

    Great time! We had so much fun, guide was great. Saw alot of birds, a dolphin and manatees

    Parking is tight tight tight

    Great spot to rent ($35 per day) or buy Standup Paddle Equipment. Nice staff that gets you on the water quick. Very helpful on where to go and more importantly, not go. Some nice flats with no motors allowed out towards the ocean side with lots of rays, manatees, sharks and gamefish. Love this place. Will definitely be back!

    We had a fantastic time paddling through the mangrove tunnels then searching for the manatees through the docks! My 5 year old and had were on a tandem kayak and it was a lovely, calm, and fun ride for about 2 hours! Our guide Rob was wonderful and really made sure our trip was a great one!! Thank you for the pictures!! Can't wait to do it again next time we are in the keys!

    Little island with a swing

    Absolutely great experience and wonderful crew! My partner and I came here last minute on a weekday without any prior reservation. We were able to walk in and get set up with a rental kayak within 15 minutes. The amazing part is that the rentals are for full-day use so you can literally use it from the time they open to the time they close if you wish to. Even if you do not go with their tour option, they will show you the map and path to take to see the mangroves. I recommend coming here early if you want to see the most sea activity in the water. Later in the day more people and boats are out which causes the fish to run away. One of the staff also said that there are manatees here! Aside from the mangroves, there is a little island with a swing you can paddle to, but it is a bit difficult as the water is very shallow with A LOT of seaweed. You will have to get out of your kayak/paddleboard and walk it to shore due to the seaweed. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better experience and arm workout of the day. I highly recommend coming here. Great customer service and price value.

    Paddle The Florida Keys has amazing staff. I really enjoyed using the Kayaks. Checking out the Kayaks was a very simple process.

    Ask the Community - Paddle The Florida Keys

    Do we need to bring our own water?

    Yes please! We have a refill station and do sell water in reusable pouches if you end up needing some

    Can we launch our own paddle boards?

    We charge a $25 launch fee per piece of equipment due to limited parking. That does, however, give you access to our fresh water shower, hose, restrooms, and knowledge of the area, winds, tides, etc.. There is also a free launch next to Tavernier…

    I booked this half day private charter for my boyfriend and I, while visiting Islamorada. We had…read morerequested Charlie for our captain, per other recommendations from friends. He was very accommodating in finding a day and time that worked for us, very hospitable, and had a great personality! Charlie texts you several times before the boat day, to make sure directions on everything are clear- I really appreciated receiving the EXACT directions with pictures and precise details. His "Tiki Tiki" boat was brand new and beautiful, and I enjoyed bringing our own drinks and snacks on the boat (he parks next to a food boat, if you'd rather buy food). The sandbar was a lot of fun, and Charlie brought many toys for us to play with on the water (kayak, rafts, beer pong table, noodles, etc). Definitely enough equipment to keep you busy for the day! The sandbar was a bit busy (even on a weekday), but he tried to find us an area where no one was blaring their music, so we could play our own. Charlie took several pictures and videos for us that he emailed us later in the week. I really enjoyed having all those, in addition to mine. Only constructive criticism I have, would be that I booked a half day "tour", and had mentioned going snorkeling and doing the catch/release of baby sharks. I was under the impression that was all set up as the plan for the day. However, we went straight to the sandbar and spent the day there; little bit of a letdown as we wanted to do other activities as well- other than that it was a great day! The water was clear, we saw some fish (and lots of dogs), and the weather was perfect- we had a great day with Captain Charlie!

    There is NOTHING better to do with your time in the Islamorada/Key Largo area than spend the day…read morewith Key Largo Adventures! Charlie is a magical Captain who creates special moments throughout your entire experience on his boat. Of course the Sandbar is beautiful but the hospitality is what sets this charter apart from the rest. His boat was beautiful and we were comfortable as can be all day long. We are already planning our next trip back and can not stop staring at photos from our special day. Can not recommend Key Largo Adventures enough!
