Kayaking in Tavernier

Brian_W, Mar 2024

Did the all day rental, but only spent about 2.5 hours in the water. We saw lots of fish, a juvenile manatee, a couple of rays, jelly fish, and several species of birds. Great family activity. Both of my kids, 12 (M), and 15 (F), had a good time.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had a great time during your kayaking adventure. It sounds like you had some fantastic wildlife sightings, from fish and manatees to rays and birds. What an incredible experience! We appreciate you choosing us for your family activity and hope to see you all again soon for more memorable adventures!

Fun day !

Cathy_L, Mar 2024

A fun day making our way through the mangroves to the secret lagoon. Easy paddle, loved seeing the birds as we headed into the mangrove.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you Cathy for your review! We are happy to hear that you had a great day paddling with us. If you are ever back in the area we would be happy to host you again!

Amazing staff and experience

Andrew_M, Aug 2023

Awesome experience!

Emily_B, Jun 2023

We loved being able to rent the kayaks for the day and explore on our own. I’m sure the tours were excellent but we really enjoyed being able to go at our own pace. The staff was friendly and helpful before heading out. The mangrove tunnels were a unique experience that we won’t forget! We saw some cool fish and jellies along the way. We also went out to the island, which was lovely. 100% would recommend.

The guys at the location...

Rebecca_W, May 2023

The guys at the location were so nice and very helpful easy to make reservations and kayaks were easy to launch as well .

Was very enjoyable…didn’t...

Michelle_W, Apr 2023

Was very enjoyable…didn’t see any manatees but it was still worth it. Make sure to get a paddle that comes apart…you will need only have of a kayak paddle in the mangrove tunnels. We didn’t get one and it made navigating difficult.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Mitchell- we are so glad you enjoyed your Kayak rental. It does get tight in the mangroves but something we suggest is putting the paddle down and doing the "Tarzan" by maneuvering with your hands pulling you along- it's super fun and so unique to the mangrove tunnel! We really appreciate you leaving a positive review!

Great day with my wife in the double kayak

dave_s, Mar 2023

We did the self-guided tour. I would highly recommend this with your significant other! Take the day and do both the groves and island.

beautiful experience

Sally_M, Jan 2023

loved the low reaching branches on the way to the lagoon. super beautiful and fun to glide through. saw a manatee too! they’re huge & adorable

Great family outing

Mary_M, Nov 2022

Enjoyed the day exploring. They did a good job providing guidance on where to explore on own. Enjoyed the self guided touring. Great little restaurant right there to grab food and venture back out after.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Mary- thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you chose us! Hope to see you again in the future.

Must do while in the Keys.

Jen_F, Jun 2022

Fun experience. Highly recommend this while visiting the Keys. Very easy to make reservations although really didn’t need one.

Bucket list

Mary_K, Apr 2022

This was exactly what we wanted/hoped for. We delighted at seeing a manatee and no mosquitoes, We did go to the island to swim a bit.

Great adventure

Craig_S, Mar 2022

Very fun! We chose to go deep in the mangroves where paddle use was not an option! Used our hands to pull and push our way thru the mangroves.

Great day!!

Lynn_N, Mar 2022

Trip was the perfect distance. Didn’t see a ton of wildlife but Loved going thru the canopies! Had a lot of fun. Beautiful day.

Interesting mangrove trail

Kassandre_D, Feb 2022

Enjoyed this activity while taking in the beautiful island that surrounded us. The area we rode in was open with broad range and had 2 exploring areas along the trail. Trail was long and took us about 3 hours to explore the mangroves on our own. We loved that we were not rushed and were able to rent the kayaks for the day without being expected to return at a set time. Just FYI the path can be a bit tedious as there are lots of vegetation and mangroves along the creeks and you need to have patience to get through the trail...the trail is lengthy and the tides were a bit strong in certain areas, dress lightly, and pack your own water to bring with. This was an interesting experience overall and I highly recommend this activity if coming down to the keys!

Fun day in the Mangroves

Shelly_C, Jan 2022

We rented 2 kayaks and 2 paddleboards. This was a fun day because the mangrove tunnel was low and we had to use our hands to propel us through the tunnel instead of our paddles. It was something different. The only disappointing thing was the lack of wildlife. We would do this again!

Manatee sighting

Johnsons, Jan 2022

We paid extra from this offer 20 buck each and got an guided tour with Keith and he was great and patient with us .. we got to see a manatee and her calf … got really close to them

Logistics were simple,...

Robert_G, Dec 2021

Logistics were simple, and having freedom without a schedule was great. Mangroves were amazing and quite an adventure. Recommend to anyone wanting a unique activity

Cool experience

Amy_B, Aug 2021

Awesome mangroves to explore and really fun small island to paddle to. Would do it again! Only bummer was that we got there on time and the staff wasn’t there yet so we waited in our car.

Five Stars!

Chase, Aug 2021

We found this to be the most relaxing and peaceful activity of our Keys vacation. Kayaks, PFDs, and paddles were clean and in good condition. Staff were friendly and gave solid advice on how to best enjoy the mangroves and other places. Highly recommended.

Fun!

LadyJane_P, Jul 2021

Beautiful! Incredible trek through the mangrove. Lots of fun and beautiful fish and birds to see! So exciting that we made it to the wonderful lagoon!
