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.
Megan is awesome! She made sure everything worked with our kayak—tightened screws, fixed the back of my seat, was so accommodating! I don’t know why anyone would go anywhere else! Thank you Megan and Keys Kayak!!

We did the night kayak eco tour with Sussane and it was AMAZING! We saw so much sea life; lobsters, crabs, all sorts of fish, horseshoe crabs, barracuda, sharks, rays, sea turtles, and sponges.
