Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

Overhead, keep an eye out for birds like herons, egrets, ospreys, and pelicans that thrive in the mangroves.No kayaking experience? No problem. Our stable sea kayaks are easy to handle, and our crew will have you paddling like a pro in no time.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Half-Day Cruise from Key West with Kayaking and Snorkeling?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
