Activity itinerary

90311 Overseas Hwy
  • 30m
Upon arrival at Tavernier Creek Kayak Tours, you will receive some safety instructions prior to boarding your kayak. Following your guide, you will paddle out of the canal towards the open ocean.
Kalteux Key (Pass by)
As you leave the canal, you will spot Kalteux Key and the Atlantic Ocean to your right (to the south). Here you will turn left to head north into Tavernier Creek.
Tavernier Creek Bridge (Pass by)
As you head north into Tavernier Creek, you will navigate under the Overseas Highway heading further into Tavernier Creek. Keep a sharp eye out, you may start to see some of the Florida Keys' abundant and diverse wildlife as you continue on the leisurely trek.
Tavernier Creek
  • 2h
Soon you'll be paddling through the Tavernier Creek. Your guide will lead you to a small break in the dense mangrove forests found throughout the Florida Keys. These secluded waterways are often too small for motorised watercraft, and you will likely be grateful for the quiet sound of your paddles as you approach exotic birds and vibrant green iguanas. The pinnacle of your tour will be when you arrive at a stunning saltwater lagoon surrounded by the mangrove forests. Here you will spend a few minutes taking in the gorgeous scenery, and you may even spot a grazing manatee or two. Once you have explored the lagoon, you will turn around to make the leisurely journey back to the marina where you started.

Wow what a once in a lifetime experience! My family (five of us kids 17, 16 and 9) had so much fun on this activity together. Great workout and we all learned so much! Saw a manatee, for sure do the three hours to see all of the jellyfish and to experience going through the tunnels! Host was awesome can’t say enough. I actually was talking about it later at the resort and another family booked for the following day!! This is a must do!!!

Safe, fun, educational, private and peaceful. Serene paddle through mangroves to open lagoon. Saw many fish, crabs, birds and a manatee! Option to jump in the swimming hole! Jade was very knowledgeable and sparked lots of good conversation about what we were seeing and the environment we were kayaking in. He is excited about what he is doing and we loved the small group experience as we could see and hear everything. This is a great excursion for anyone who would like to be on the water and close to nature. Excellent for adults and families alike. Skip the crowds and have a personal experience with Jade.

This was one of the best kayaking tours we have ever taken. Jade was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and all of the wildlife. It is clear that Jade has a great passion for the mangrove forests and it showed on this tour. We would highly recommend this tour!

It was awesome I just got engaged and it was just my fiancé and I. He made the tour very fun. We saw jellyfish, cool birds, tarpon, mullet, crabs, and had a lovely tour of the mangroves. We learned about the trees, and the history. Our tour guide was amazing he let us come 2 hours after we planned because … we overslept lol!

Our guide, Jade, was very knowledgable about the mangroves, their growth, development, history, plants, fish, wildlife of all kinds. He made it a fantastic time for all three generations of us. The experience is fairly inexpensive compaired to all others in the area. Great value. Outdoors, water, a bit of exercise, area history and fun.
