What To Expect

This half day boat and paddle excursion allows you to play where the locals play! Just off shore of Key West is a quiet, unique mangrove eco system that allows for calm, secluded paddling along beautiful mangrove creeks. Your 3.5 hour adventure starts with a private boat ride (just your party up to 6 people and bring your dog!) aboard our late model pontoon boat which comfortably seats beyond the maximum of 6 people we allow aboard. Your captain will find the perfect spot for some kayaking or paddle boarding on your own in calm, protected waters. End the trip with a relaxing stop at one of many sand bars in the beautiful azure waters of the Florida Keys.

We'll provide bottled water. Anything extra you'd bring along may be stored in our onboard cooler.

This is a great adventure for families and paddlers of all levels!

Dog's welcome!!

Q: Are there any weight restrictions for kayaking?

Nov 2021
Q: Do I need kayaking experience or will you teach me?
A:

No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before. Anyone in average physical condition may join a kayak tour. If you can hike or bike, you can paddle our sea kayaks. You do not need any swimming skills either.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.

Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.

Your safety is Tours of Key West’s number one concern. In general, sea kayaking is safer than most other outdoor pursuits, even bicycling.

Jan 2023
Q: Will I get seasick on Private Key West Sandbar and Paddle by Boat?
A:
