More than a kayaking trip; we offer an Eco-Tour Experience! Glide across warm, crystal clear water only inches deep to the shelter of mysterious mangrove islands. Our guides are happy to explain this ecosystem's uniqueness in plants, marine life, birds and natural history.Let us catch marine animals only an expert could find for you to handle and photograph. Learn about egrets, herons and other birds roosting only feet away or prying the flats for food. Geared for any level of paddler, you won’t have to go far to see the hidden beauty that so many have called serene, enchanting, romantic and captivating. We take a maximum of 10 people per guide for a personal experience. « less

“Great adventure even for a novice kayaker!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2012 NEW

James was an excellent guide and was extremely knowledgeable about all the sea life we experienced. We used a tandem kayak for two and were able to maneuver with little difficulty. Would like to come back to Key West and do the sunset tour. We saw sponge,starfish,coral,sea hare,and sea cucumbers. More

Maybe it's just me because I don't like being bossed around, which is part of anything you do on a small boat, but this guide had booked four more people than advertised. He seemed very haughty and disdainful, and just didn't give a damn. More

“Excellent guide”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2012 NEW

We had a very good guide who was able to spot marine life, pick up the safe stuff, explain it to us and let us handle it. We learned a lot. It was a highlight of our trip. They also pick you up and bring you back to your hotel. More

“Moonlight Tour - Do It!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2012 NEW

The Blue Planet Kayaking moonlight tour was phenomenal. I was concerned about being fit enough to undertake this adventure, but it wasn't a problem. Our guide Katie was very patient and seemed to enjoy the evening as much as we did. Have them pick you up at your hotel, it is free of charge and I believe we may have... More

“Great fun!”

Went on the sunset/moonlight kayak tour with Blue Planet. Chad the owner is very informed about the ecology and wildlife. We had never been kayaking in the dark before so that turned out to be our favorite part of our vacation. We also did not have a car so they picked us up at our hotel free of charge. Compared...

“It rained but still a blast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2012

My wife and I were down in Key West for only three days. The first day it was very windy so we decided to wait. The second day it poured all day. So on the last day even though it called for rain we decided to chance it. We were glad we did. As we launched it started to rain... More
