Overview

100% Clear Kayaks: Unlike traditional kayaks, ours are completely see-through. As you paddle, you'll have a front-row seat to the vibrant marine life beneath the blueish-green waters.

Eco-Tours with Marine Viewing: Our eco-tours immerse you in the rich ecosystem of the Florida Keys. Watch for starfish, nurse sharks, jellyfish, stingrays, and many other marine creatures as they go about their daily lives just inches beneath your kayak.

Journey through Mangroves: The tour takes you through the pristine mangroves of Sugarloaf Key, offering a scenic and serene experience that's both refreshing and educational. You'll get to witness the delicate balance of life in these important coastal habitats. If the tide is too low or too high, your guide may adjust the route to ensure the best experience.

Expert Guides: They're trained to prioritize safety while sharing interesting facts about the area's marine life and ecosystem.
