What To Expect
Kayakers will board their kayaks just prior to sunset, departing the marina towards the ocean just as the sun begins to create gradients of pink and orange in the sky. As you turn north into Tavernier Creek, you will definitely spot some of the Florida Key's stunning wildlife. You may even glide past a grazing manatee. After some paddling, you'll find yourself near the entrance of a thick mangrove forest; your tour guide will help you navigate through a narrow channel in the trees, highlighting various features of the natural ecosystem as you continue. Once dark enough, your tour guide will equip your kayak with a battery-powered LED light that illuminates the water below you. The light is typically green, enabling the greatest visibility for you while minimizing any input on marine life. Embrace the surreal experience as you continue to navigate the calm waters with the magical light glowing all around you. As you return to the marina, you'll also enjoy multi-colored lights in the man-made canal, turning your kayak tour into a dazzling night-parade.
