Our local guides have inside knowledge of the best spots to paddle in the Upper Keys. Lets us take you out for a tour you’ll never forget.
The location was easy to find and plenty of parking, the cost was adequate and having a small group meant more time for questions and customized experience. The trip started with a small safety briefing, then we moved on to tips for better and more efficient kayaking. Throughout the entire trip the guide looked out and pointed out wild life, while providing lots of information about the area, culture and environment. I highly recommend "Paddle the Florida Keys"
– Ozzy | TripAdvisorThis is the only place to properly PADDLE! the Florida Keys! Don't be fooled by impostors. Scott and his crew are the best. I've been out with them on the weekly locals night when their generosity benefits our local food bank. You just know when you walk in that this is much more than a business. These folks are there to make sure you have a great time and they are very good at it.
– John B. | TripAdvisorWe went to the Paddle! the Florida Keys and rented paddleboards. Based upon the advice of the staff, we went down a long narrow channel in the ocean that eventually opened into a large lagoon. Very peaceful and getting through the mangroves was tricky at times, but made it all the more enjoyable tackling the challenge. Afterwards we went to a small island about 400 yards offshore that had a swing and hammock. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
– Theron S. | TripAdvisorJoe guided us on the 2 hour eco tour and we had a fantastic time. Joe is knowledgeable about the various local ecology, including the numerous fish and crabs we encountered on our mangrove trip. It was one of the highlights of our vacation and is a must for anyone looking to get outside and unplugged. All the folks at Paddle the Florida Keys were awesome, and Joe absolutely ROCKS! Thanks for a great time.
