Kayaking and Paddle Boarding
Have you ever kayaked, or paddle boarded through beautiful winding mangrove tunnels? It’s quite a unique and interesting eco system to behold. Nurse sharks are often spotted swimming around as well as an array of aquatic life and bird life. Best of all, this adventure is extremely accessible without having to book an expensive trip on a boat. Guided or self-guided tours leave right from the island. More remote mangroves are accessible by boat, and these boat trips can also offer a snorkeling stop as well. Keep scrolling to learn more.

Guides are great at spotting sharks and other wildlife while teaching guests about the complex and unique ecosystem of the Mangroves. This tour moves at a relaxed pace and is great for beginner kayakers.
Self Guided Tour
Morning Sail, Snorkel, Kayak Excursion
Guided Eco Kayak Tour
4 Hour Self-Guided Tour - $30 per person
Rent your own stand-up paddle board or kayak and explore the Mangrove tunnels on your own. We recommend the stand-up paddle board option due to the vantage point. Standing higher on the water allows people to see better into the water and greatly increases the chance of spotting nurse sharks and sea turtles. But if balance isn’t your strong suit, kayaking may be the best option.
If you loved exploring the mangrove tunnels of key west, you will absolutely love a trip to the remote Mangrove Islands of the key west National Wildlife Refuge. These Islands begin 3 miles west of Key West and are only accessible by boat.
