Our guide, Brittany, was a fabulous guide, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. She was very reassuring for a nervous member of our party. The whole experience was great and great value for money. Would definitely recommended.

Could not recommend more highly! Our guide, Brittany, took lots of photos and videos for us and then airdropped them after the tour. Didn’t even have to bring a phone/camera. She knew all about the local fauna and flora. We saw FIVE manatees, a calf and four adults. There were also several species of water fowl and fish. The swimming hole was refreshing and fun. Brittany was amazing and enthusiastic. She engaged with everyone in the group. She also was good with our mix of experienced and novice kayakers. You’re in for a treat if you have Brittany as your guide!

May family had a wonderful time. We saw and ray, birds, so many fish, crabs, and jellyfish. We even went to an area where we could swim. Our guide was so informative on what we were seeing she also took over 100 pictures of us and air dropped them to us and recommended places to eat. I would highly recommend using PADDLE! the Florida Keys.

We were first time kayakers and this little trip was perfect. It was a little disappointing because we didn’t see much wildlife… no manatees but our guide did try. The staff was very nice and professional.

Very last minute scramble to find something to do on Islamorada when our dive trip got rescheduled due to the winds. Luckily, we took a chance on this outfitter and booked a last minute excursion. Our guide, Jack, was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and did a great job pointing out some interesting wildlife and making sure we actually made it out of the mangrove tunnels without being impaled by any mangroves or being eaten by any tree crabs!
Fun trip, something different and easy! Oh ya, we also got to see some manatees swimming beneath us!
