What to Expect
Discover a different side of Key West as you explore a secluded paradise in the Florida Keys backcountry on our Island Adventure. Tucked away between mangrove islands, shallow sandbars and clear, calm turquoise waters, we’ll transport you to a remote sanctuary normally reserved for Key West locals.
Enjoy a delicious lunch as we make our way to a remote natural sandbar where you can sink your toes into the warm sand of the shallow waters, sip a frosty beverage or enjoy some exciting water activities! Grab a kayak and explore the clear waters on a guided tour through the Key West mangroves. If you’ve never kayaked before, our crew will provide instruction that will have you enjoying an easy paddle on one of our sea kayaks in no time. Along the way, you’ll be awed by the stunning natural beauty of this secluded part of the Florida Keys.
Come join us and unwind, our Island Adventure will transport you to a Key West state of mind.
