Overview

Hey there nature lovers, it's your tour guide Jade. I'm inviting you to join me on an unforgettable kayak adventure through the hidden gems of the Florida Keys. We'll embark on an exhilarating journey through the pristine waters of Tavernier Creek, where you'll witness the magic of our mangrove forests and saltwater lagoons.

During our three hour eco-tour, we might be exposed to the gentle giants of the sea – the manatees, as well as a myriad of fish and fowl. Keep your eyes peeled for vibrant green iguanas soaking up the sun and the camouflaged mangrove tree crabs hanging about the branches.

These ecosystems have lots to offer. I can't wait to share my knowledge and passion for this environment with you. I've developed a deep appreciation for the delicate balance of our ecosystem, and I'm always eager to connect with fellow nature enthusiasts.

So, come aboard and let me be your guide to the wonders of the Florida Keys. Together, we'll create memories that will last a lifetime!

Tavernier Creek

Soon you'll be paddling through the Tavernier Creek. Your guide will lead you to a small break in the dense mangrove forests found throughout the Florida Keys. These secluded waterways are often too small for motorized watercraft, and you will likely be grateful for the quiet sound of your paddles as you approach exotic birds and vibrant green iguanas. The pinnacle of your tour will be when you arrive at a stunning saltwater lagoon surrounded by the mangrove forests. Here you will spend a few minutes taking in the gorgeous scenery, and you may even spot a grazing manatee or two. Once you have explored the lagoon, you will turn around to make the leisurely journey back to the marina where you started.
