Keys Kayak offers guided mangrove and manatee eco tours, described as a great, amazing, and memorable experience. The tours are physically intensive, navigating very narrow channels where paddlers sometimes must lay flat to pass through, and may not be ideal for true beginners or those concerned about mobility. Knowledgeable guides provide a wealth of information, pointing out wildlife like crabs, jellyfish, and fish, while sharing history and ecological details. They give clear instructions, ensure safety, and help participants when needed. The business is well-run with a personable owner and is easy to work with, issuing full refunds for cancellations due to weather like strong winds. The 2.5-hour tour is considered very reasonably priced. Many reviewers emphatically recommend Keys Kayak, stating it is a highlight and suggesting visitors choose it over other tours.

Great experience. Jesse led our Mangrove & Manatees Eco Tour. He gave us great instructions, led us safely, jumped to help someone else that had a problem, pointed out and explained wildlife, nicely answered all questions. I thoroughly recommend the tour.

Great experience with the guided tour through the mangroves by Sombrero Beach. The path through the mangroves is very narrow in spots. Mead, the guide, shared history and ecological info. He showed us crabs, jelly fish and pointed out fish.
